«La magnitud de la tragèdia» is the novel by Quim Monzó, published by Quaderns Crema in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
A trumpeter finally manages to go out with the star of the theater where he works, but at dinner he drinks far more than advisable and fears he won't measure up if he takes her to bed. From this opening, Monzó develops a novel about love, hate, loneliness, the inexorable passage of time and the inevitability of death.
First edition, published in 1983. Part of the Biblioteca Mínima collection, number 20.
