El perquè de tot plegat

quim monzó

Els trenta relats que integren aquest recull de Quim Monzó es complementen els uns als altres per formar un tot que ens mostra amb precisió l'eterna incertesa humana. En El perquè de tot plegat els recursos sintètics de Monzó arriben al seu màxim de puresa: aparentment simples i esquemàtics, són una exhibició enèrgica de mestria.
