«Una comedia ligera» is the contemporary fiction novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published in paperback (447 pages, in Spanish).
A distinguished playwright finds his works have gone out of fashion as he faces middle age and romantic ups and downs. The action takes place in postwar Barcelona during a few summer days: what seems like a bourgeois comedy of manners turns into a detective investigation with the arrival of crime.
The novel was published in March 2000; the cover of this edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection from Seix Barral.
For readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish who appreciate the mix of irony, comedy of manners, and detective intrigue.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
