«Una comedia ligera» is the literary fiction novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (435 pages, in Spanish).
Set in postwar Barcelona, it follows a mature playwright who sees his works go out of fashion while he wavers between romantic entanglements. What seems like a comedy of manners changes with the appearance of a crime and a police investigation, and the novel becomes an intermittent detective narrative, with irony and humor.
The work was published in 1997.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction who appreciate humor and detective intrigue.
Barcelona novelist, 2016 Cervantes laureate, author of The Truth About the Savolta Case, City of Marvels and No Word From Gurb.
