«Una comedia ligera» is the contemporary fiction novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Booket in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish).
Post-war summer in Barcelona. A distinguished playwright, with works perhaps out of fashion, faces middle age amid indecision and several romantic entanglements. What seems a bourgeois comedy of manners twists with the arrival of a crime and a police intrigue; the novel combines irony, humour and a portrait of the era.
Volume 7 of the Biblioteca Eduardo Mendoza collection. The novel was originally published in 1996; this Booket edition is from 2003.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction who appreciate ironic humour, period portraiture and plots involving police investigation.
Barcelona novelist, 2016 Cervantes laureate, author of The Truth About the Savolta Case, City of Marvels and No Word From Gurb.
