«La noche es larga» is a collection of short stories by Paul Morand, published by Ediciones del Cotal in paperback (205 pages, in Spanish).
The stories in this volume share the night as their common thread, conceived as a party and a setting for encounters. Morand portrays with an ironic and elegant eye the customs and mindset of a carefree generation, heir to the twenties, and the same sensibility that nourished Larbaud, Giraudoux and Supervielle.
Published in Barcelona in 1980, it is part of the collection «El Autor y la obra» (no. 23) and includes a translation from French by Josep Elías.
For readers of short fiction interested in French literature of the twenties and in the portrait of a generation marked by nightlife.
Paul Morand was a French author whose short stories and novellas were lauded for their style, wit and descriptive power. His most productive literary period was the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s. He was much admired by the upper echelons of society and the artistic avant-garde who made him a cult favorite. He has been categorized as an early Modernist and Imagist.
