<p>Fast, precise, hilariously timed and mercilessly honest, this lively anthology of stories lays bare every pretension ever to have offered comfort to the middle-class psyche. From the zeal of a mother’s group staging a world-record breastfeeding attempt, to couples role-playing their way into parenthood at a third world "adoption workshop," to partners so affectionate they only communicate through baby talk—and lovers so addicted to arguing that even acts of God can't deter them—this humorous collection represents an exclusive English interpretation of award-winning writing. With stories so delicate and fleet-footed that even the most single-minded protagonists prove likable in their raucous charm and with insightful cultural references that highlight the differences and similarities of modern human nature, this intriguingly sardonic literary grouping is a refreshing foray into relationships, life, and love as a competitive sport.</p>

<p>A slighted wife escapes her wealthy family for the evening and stumbles into the city’s red-light district… The head of security at Barcelona’s container port searches for a figure that only he has seen sneak in… An elderly woman brings home a machine that will turn her body into atoms, so she can leave behind a city that is no longer recognisable… Historically, Barcelona is a city of resistance and independence; a focal point for Catalan identity, as well as the capital of Spanish republicanism. Nestled between the Mediterranean coast and mountains, this burgeoning city has also been home to some of the greatest names in modern art and architecture, and attracts visitors and migrants from all over the world. As a result, the city is a melting-pot of cultures, and the stories gathered here offer a miscellany of form and genre, fittingly reminiscent of one of Gaudi’s mosaics. From the boy-giant outgrowing his cramped flat on the city’s outskirts, to the love affair that begins in a launderette, we meet characters who are reclaiming the independence of their city by challenging common misconceptions and telling its myriad truths.</p>
