«Ochenta y seis cuentos» is the short story collection by Quim Monzó, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (504 pages, in Spanish).
The author gathers and revises all the stories he had published up to that date, some previously unpublished in Spanish, and reorganizes them into a single volume. Critics highlight its black humor, lucidity and ability to construct brief pieces ranging from parody of literary classics to exploration of the fragility of consciousness, the neurosis of order and the writer's anguish.
Volume 307 of the Narrativas hispánicas collection. Original title in Catalan: «Vuitanta-sis contes».
A work aimed at readers of short stories and contemporary narrative in Spanish who appreciate black humor and irony.
