       Pere Calders (Barcelona 1912-1994) was a postmodern writer influenced by Massimo Bontempelli, Kafka and Pirandello. He combined the fantastic and the irony, the magic realism and the SF in short stories and novels. Calders was exiled in Mexico after the Civil War of Spain. He returned to Catalonia during the sixties. In the end of the seventies, he was converted in one of the most successful contemporary writers. His short stories can be found in 'CrÔniques de la veritat oculta' (Chronicles of the hidden truth), written in 1955; "DemÁ, a les tres de la matinada" (Tomorrow, at 3 a.m.); "InvasiÕ subtil i altres contes" (The subtle invasion and other stories); "Un estrany al meu jardÎ" (A foreign in my garden) or "Tot s'aprofita" (All is used).
