Mucho cuento es una colección de veinte relatos de Juan García Hortelano que nos transportan a un Madrid sitiado y bombardeado, pero a la vez ferozmente divertido. En estos cuentos, conviven niños que perdieron la contienda y la infancia, junto con los anacronismos pedagógicos de los curas de la posguerra, desembocando en el desencanto y el absurdo de una sociedad dividida. A pesar de la crudeza del contexto, la obra está llena de momentos hilarantes, como la mezcla de sexo y sarna en plena guerra en 'carne de chocolate', el mareo sexual de 'Preparativos de boda', o la humorística metáfora sobre el trabajo en 'La oficina invadida'.
Juan García Hortelano was a Spanish writer. He was born in Madrid. His father was a doctor. When the Spanish Civil War broke out, he was sent with his siblings to Cuenca, only returning to Madrid in 1937 where he lived with his maternal grandparents. The libraries at school and home turned him into an avid reader. Following the war, he entered college in 1941, later studying law at Madrid University. He joined the Civil Service in 1953. Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to writing with fervour and discipline without abandoning his administrative job in Madrid. He cultivated friendships with writers and intellectuals of his generation: Juan Benet, Carlos Barral, Jaime Gil de Biedma, Juan Marsé and Ángel González.
