«Una comedia ligera» is the contemporary fiction novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
In post-war Barcelona, a declining playwright watches his works go out of fashion while torn between various romantic pursuits. The plot, which starts as a comedy of manners, crosses paths with a crime and a police investigation; irony, humour and ambiguity run through this detective narrative.
This paperback edition is from 2000, within the Biblioteca Eduardo Mendoza collection and the Biblioteca Breve series from Seix Barral.
Work aimed at readers of literary fiction and contemporary Spanish narrative, particularly followers of Eduardo Mendoza.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
