"Literary Prozac."--"Cosmopolitan"
"Eduardo Mendoza is one of contemporary Spain's most important
writers."--"The New York Times Book Review"
"An accomplished literary novelist who knows how to
entertain."--"Kirkus Reviews"
A shape-shifting extraterrestrial named Gurb has assumed the
form of Madonna and disappeared in Barcelona's back streets. His
hapless commander, desperately trying to find him, records the
daily pleasures, dangers, and absurdities of our fragile world,
while munching his way through enormous quantities of "churros." No
stone is left unturned in the search for his old pal Gurb.
Will Barcelona survive this alien invasion? Will the captain
ever find his subordinate? Are there enough "churros" in Barcelona
to satisfy his intergalactic appetite?
Eduardo Mendoza was born in 1943 in Barcelona. He spent some
years in New York working as an interpreter for the United Nations
before returning to his native city. His other novels include "The
Truth About the Savolta Case," "The City of Marvels," and "The Year
of the Flood."
