All the heroes of this story collectionthe boy who refuses to
follow the family tradition of having his ring finger cut off; the
man who cannot escape his house, no matter what he tries; Robin
Hood stealing so much from the rich that he ruins the rich and
makes the poor wealthy; Gregor the cockroach, who wakes one day to
discover he has become a human teenager; the prophet who cant
remember any of the prophecies that have been revealed to him;
Ulysses and his minions trapped in the Trojan horseare faced with a
world that is always changing, where time and space move in
circles, where language has become meaningless. Their stories are
mazes from which they cant escape. The simultaneously dark,
grotesque, and funny Guadalajara reveals Quim Monzo at his acerbic
and witty best.
