«Criatura i companyia» is the humor novel by Carles Capdevila published by Edicions La Campana in paperback, with 200 pages in Catalan.
A couple goes through all the stages of pregnancy and the arrival of their child: they think about it, they do it, they wait, they despair, she gives birth while he assists, and the creature turns their lives upside down. The satire extends to grandparents, in-laws, gynecologists, pediatricians, neighbors, pharmacists and childless friends, forming a choral comedy.
Volume 24 of the Humor i sàtira collection. Winner of the Premi Pere Quart d'Humor i Sàtira in 1999.
A suitable read for those who want to laugh at everyday situations of pregnancy and parenting, and for fans of social satire.
