«Una comedia ligera» is the novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (383 pages, in Spanish).
In postwar Barcelona, a mature playwright sees his pieces go out of fashion while getting entangled in romantic doubts. The tone of a comedy of manners is broken by the appearance of a crime, and the plot shifts into a detective investigation narrated with irony and humor.
Novel first published in 1996 in the Biblioteca Breve collection by Seix Barral.
A read for those interested in contemporary Spanish narrative and postwar Barcelona.
