The Pequod Review:

O'Clock is a collection of sixteen very odd and very playful (and very Catalan) short stories. Nearly every story is a surreal delight, typically beginning as realist fiction but taking unexpected left turns, a mix of Julio Cortazar and Donald Barthelme. Almost everything Quim Monzo writes is worth reading, and this is an excellent place for new readers to start.
