«Calaveres atònites» is the novel by Jesús Moncada published by RBA La Magrana in paperback (236 pages, in Catalan).
A young Barcelona lawyer, Mallol Fontcalda, heads to Mequinensa to take up the post of clerk at the peace court. After a chaotic journey, he discovers that the town is not the tranquil oasis he expected: among its inhabitants there is a judge who dispenses justice accompanied by his dog and other eccentric characters who question everyday life in the postwar period.
Work included in the Les ales esteses collection, number 87.
For readers of contemporary Catalan fiction and rural stories with humor and a postwar portrait.
Jesús Moncada i Estruga was a narrator and translator. His work is a re-creation, somewhere between realism and fantasy, of the mythical past of the old town of Mequinenza -now submerged beneath the waters of the river Ebro-.
