«Sin noticias de Gurb» is the satirical novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
In pre-Olympic Barcelona, an alien named Gurb gets lost after adopting the appearance of Marta Sánchez. His alien companion goes out to look for him around the city and recounts his adventures in diary form: human customs, traffic jams, queues and the temptation of churros become a succession of absurd episodes. The book is a humour-filled parody of urban life, told from the naive perspective of a being incapable of understanding social conventions.
The novel belongs to the Biblioteca Eduardo Mendoza collection, from the publisher Seix Barral.
Recommended for readers looking for a fun, fast-paced novel, and for fans of Eduardo Mendoza's humour.
