Aquest llibre recull tres relats de Quim Monzó. En rigor no són contes nadalencs estrictes, perquè defugen les regles i els objectius tradicionals del gènere, fins a esdevenir tres contes clarament monzonians. La seva mirada gens convencional ens condueix pels viaranys d’un Nadal desacostumat, des d’una perspectiva nova, festiva i satírica que Ramon Enrich illustra amb esperit paral·lel, fresc i descarat. Una peça única per llegir a la vora de la xemeneia, o del televisor.
Quim Monzó was born in Barcelona in 1952. He has been awarded the National Award for fiction; the City of Barcelona Award for fiction; the Prudenci Bertrana Award for fiction; the El Temps Award for best novel; the Lletra d'Or Prize; the Catalan Writers' Award; the Maria Àngels Anglada; the Trajectòria; he has also been awarded Serra d'Or magazine's prestigious Critics' Award, four times.
In 2007 he wrote and read the opening speech at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Monzó designed a lecture written as if it was a short story. It differed completely from traditional speeches. Together with Cuca Canals, he wrote the dialogues for Bigas Luna's movie Jamón, jamón. He has also written the musical satire El tango de Don Joan, with Jérôme Savary. He is a regular contributor to the La Vanguardia newspaper.
