L'inesperat i altres contes

The first book that includes unpublished stories by Isabel-Clara Simó after her death in 2020. A fun book, at the same time tender and daring, that will make us smile at all times, either with compassion or with irony. Irreverent, ironic, funny, shameless and always brilliant: this is how Isabel-Clara Simó is shown in this collection of stories, which brings together the stories she wrote in the last stage of her career. As an unexpected gift, we present twenty-four unpublished works from the author's personal archive, written at the same time as he published Prime time. Irreverence, the book from which the rest of the texts in this collection come. Carles Cortés, one of the main connoisseurs of Isabel-Clara Simó's work, has rearranged all the texts to offer them in a new volume, which provides a suggestive overview of his short narrative. In The Unexpected and Other Tales we find ourselves with the lucid and daring look that characterizes all the author's work, that perplexed look in front of a complex world full of nuances, which deserves both our most tender compassion and the our fiercest criticism. With L'inesperat i altres contes, Isabel-Clara Simó returns more funny and ironic.
