«Guadalajara» is the short story collection by Quim Monzó published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover, with 184 pages in Spanish.
Fourteen stories in which the melody of the huapango «Guadalajara» always echoes in the distance. A compulsive liar, a politician, a famous actor or a forgetful prophet try to escape rites, lies and double-edged words. Includes re-readings of myths such as the Trojan horse, Robin Hood and Gregor Samsa.
The volume belongs to the Narrativas hispánicas collection (no. 225) and was published in Barcelona in 1997.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction interested in the short story and in ironic versions of well-known myths.
