«Mauricio o las elecciones primarias» is the contemporary fiction novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Booket in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Mauricio, a dentist with ideals but no character, returns to Barcelona during the transition. A chain of coincidences lands him in the socialist party's campaign and links him to two very different women: the sensible Clotilde and Porritos, who shows him the murkiest side of that world. Behind it, a city eagerly awaits the 1992 Olympics while political disillusionment grows.
The work is part of the Eduardo Mendoza Library, where it occupies volume 10. Published by Booket in 2007, it received the Fundación José Manuel Lara Prize.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and followers of Eduardo Mendoza, interested in political and social satire of Barcelona before the Olympics.
