La maleta turca

... Show More
«Els articles de Monzó són un diagnòstic urgent i irònic sobre els comportaments socials adquirits, sobre allò que fem d'esma i que caracteritza en gran part la nostra manera de ser. ... A La maleta turca hi ha, en primer lloc, bona literatura».
Josep M. Lluró, El Temps.

«La maleta turca és tot un cop de puny al que ens és habitual, a la vulgaritat i a la bajanaderia que cada dia ens envolta i que ens passa de llarg sense que molts cops ens n'adonem».
Antoni Mateu, Avui.

«Monzó enllaça amb una tradició periodística catalana que s'havia perdut gairebé del tot i que el lliga amb gent tan qualificada com Eugeni Xammar, Francesc Trabal o el mateix Josep Pla».
Jordi Puntí, La Marxa.
