Why, Why, Why?

Sobre el libro Why, Why, Why? de Quim Monzó publicado por Open Letter al 2019:

A man tries to teach a stone to speak through sheer force of will. An engaged couple makes a pact to never lie, and their union dissolves immediately. Over the course of a phone call, a man learns that his girlfriend died months ago, and that he´s been unknowingly seeing her twin sister. Prince Charming marries Cinderella, but then has an affair with the evil stepsisters. A psychopath´s liver explodes after a night of heavy drinking, but instead of killing him, it allows him to be a better drinker. These, and many more, strange and twisted characters populate the pages of Why, Why, Why?, a delectable brew of dark humor and biting satire on human relationships. In these stories, the characters don´t start falling until they know they´re off the cliff. By then, rock bottom isn´t a long way off. Another stunning entry from Catalan´s greatest contemporary writer, Monzó´s stories dust themselves off and speed on to their next catastrophe...
