For the first time in his life, Heribert Juli is unable to paint.
On the eve of an important gallery exhibition, for which hes
created nothing, hes bored with life: he falls asleep while making
love with his mistress, wanders from bar to bar, drinking whatever
comes to his attention first, and meets the evidence of his wife
Helenas infidelity with complete indifference. Humbert Herrera, an
up-and-coming artist who cant stop creating, picks up the threads
of Heriberts life, taking his wife, replacing him at the gallery,
and pursuing his former mistress. Heribert is finally undone by a
massive sculpture, while Humbert is planning the sculpture to end
sculpture, the poem to end poetry, and the film to end film, all
while mounting three simultaneous shows. A fun-house mirror through
which he examines the creative process, the life and loves of
artists, and the New York art scene, Gasoline confirms Quim Monz as
the foremost Catalan writer of his generation.

"A Thousand Morons" is rife with very unfortunate characters,
like the prince whose kisses are ineffective in waking the sleeping
beauty. An excellent combination of longer, elegiac stories of
"morons," aging, and the passage of time--with short, flashier
pieces displaying Monzo's wit and playfulness--makes this his
strongest collection.
