As a comprehensive depiction, Eduardo Mendoza's work 'No News from Gurb' reveals the ability to write and rewrite about the city of Barcelona, transforming it into something fictional through the lens of modern-day characters like vagrants, while also presenting a critical and satirical message about the daily lives of city residents using humorous language as an imitation and disruption, as noted by the Spanish critic and academic Javier Aparicio Maydeu.

This is also one of the reasons Spanish writers and critics consider Mendoza a follower of Miguel de Cervantes, famous for his novel 'Don Quixote'.

It is an intriguing novel and can be classified under 'magical realism' novels, which we have appreciated for decades. However, it is mixed with science fiction.
