Sin noticias de Gurb

Book • 1991
In Eduardo Mendoza's "Sin noticias de Gurb", two extraterrestrials arrive in Barcelona during the 1992 Olympics.

Gurb, one of the aliens, goes missing after adopting the appearance of Marta Sánchez, a Spanish singer.

His companion chronicles the search, hilariously misinterpreting human customs and daily life.

The novel is a satirical commentary on urban life, consumerism, and the cultural landscape of Barcelona.

Mendoza's witty prose and absurd situations create a humorous and engaging narrative.

The book's short, diary-like entries add to its fast-paced and comedic nature, making it a delightful read.
