«Una comedia ligera» is the novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (383 pages, in Spanish).
In postwar Barcelona, a mature playwright sees his pieces go out of fashion while getting entangled in romantic doubts. The tone of a comedy of manners is broken by the appearance of a crime, and the plot shifts into a detective investigation narrated with irony and humor.
Novel first published in 1996 in the Biblioteca Breve collection by Seix Barral.
A read for those interested in contemporary Spanish narrative and postwar Barcelona.
Barcelona novelist, 2016 Cervantes laureate, author of The Truth About the Savolta Case, City of Marvels and No Word From Gurb.
