Catalan authors: Quim Monzó

Quim Monzó (Barcelona, 1952) is probably the most international of Catalan authors and one of the most widely read contemporaneans. His works have been translated to a host of other languages. He has a very informative homepage, here, where you also find the references to the English versions of some of his books, and what is more, some links to articles, etc. of his published in English. Amazon.com lists three books of his available in English.
Several times a week he writes columns in the op-ed section of La Vanguardia, the most prestigious of Catalan dailies (though it started out as a Spanish newspaper more than 125 years ago, and only in 2011 adopted a Catalan version). He comments on daily life, political events, or articles he read in foreign-language journals not in reach of most of his readers. The Wikipedia article dedicated to Monzó has all the relevant biographical information and links to some shorter prose of his, here.
