The theme of the theme

Description

With the acuity and common sense that have made him a headline columnist for thousands of readers, Quim Monzó shares bewilderments, ridicules petulance, he rebels against political correctness and notes the threat of gregariousness. With irreverence and rigor, Monzó combines causticity, skepticism, forensic skills and journalistic prose that Joan de Sagarra described as "of the highest quality". The theme of the issue brings together the best articles that Monzó has published in La Vanguardia over the years 1999, 2000 and 2001, and it is added to the seven volumes of previous articles with which he is forging a chronicle, ha essential, of the decades between the 20th and 21st centuries. "Reading Monzó is like taking vitamins." luis landero «Monzó is even better than it seems. It looks clever, and it is, but it is often forgotten that wit is an indispensable ingredient of genius. He looks like a hooligan, and it is, but every serious writer must have a hooligan inside. He looks like a comedian, and it is, but much more serious than it seems, if there can be any humorist who is not very serious. He seems cynical, and it is, and it is also, so, a moralist."
