"Eduardo Mendoza is one of contemporary Spain's most important
writers."--"The New York Times Book Review"
"Wonderfully inventive and hilarious."--"Guardian"
Released from an asylum to help with a police enquiry, the
quick-witted and foul-smelling narrator delves deep into the
underworld of 1970s Barcelona to investigate the mysterious
disappearance of a teenage girl from a convent school, aided only
by his prostitute sister Mercedes.
Eduardo Mendoza was born in 1943 in Barcelona. He spent some
years in New York, where he worked at the United Nations as an
interpreter. His other novels include "No Word From Gurb,"
published by Telegram in 2007.
