Obabakoak liburua urte askoren emaitza da. Ipuingintzaren tradizio luze eta zabalaren sintesia lortzen du Obabakoakek, Poe-rengandik XX. mendeko azken ipuinlarien lanetaraino: Maupassant, Txekhov, Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Schowb, eta gertuagoko Waugh, Quiroga, Rulfo, Cortazar, Borges, Singer, Ipar Amerikako ipuin tradizioa, eta abar... Ahozko tradiziotik Joxe Arratibelen Kontu zaharrak eta Auspoa saila. XII. mendetik Europa liluratu duen Arabiako tradizio paregabea: Mila gau eta bat gehiago, Txinatik heldutako Marco Poloren bidaia fantasiatuak, eta abar luzea. Azken finean, literatura oso baten hausnarketa eta sintesi bat eskaintzen du Atxagak bere liburuan. Literatura eta bizitza bera imajinatzeko modu bat, begiratu bat. Munduari eta gizakiari erantzuna emateko abiapuntu eta estilo bereizia. Sinbolismoaren eta erromantizismoaren garaietatik landu eta garatu den tradizioa izan da berea ere. Eta, hala ere, abangoardiak eta Modernitate ausartenak erakutsitako irakasbideei ez die Atxagak ukorik egin, horra bost minututan nola ipuin bat idatzi lezioa. Literatur tradizio zaharra, ahozkotasuna, Modernitatea, zer ez; dena dago egilearen eskura eta guztion ondare da dagoeneko. Ondare aberats horrekin zer egin, horra Atxagaren azierto zoragarria.

Limonov n''est pas un personnage de fiction. Il existe. Je le connais. Il a été voyou en Ukraine ; idole de l''underground soviétique sous Brejnev ; clochard, puis valet de chambre d''un milliardaire a Manhattan ; ecrivain branche a Paris ; soldat perdu dans les guerres des Balkans ; et maintenant, dans l''immense bordel de l''apres-communisme en Russie, vieux chef charismatique d''un parti de jeunes desperados. Lui-meme se voit comme un heros, on peut le considerer comme un salaud : je suspends pour ma part mon jugement.

A mig camí del quadre de costums i de la literatura neorealista, Pla demostra una vegada més la capacitat inesgotable de la seva prosa Un veterinari de ciutat arriba al poble de Torrelles per exercir el seu ofici. Establert al carrer Estret de la localitat, i gracies a la xafarderia de la seva cuinera, la inestimable Francisqueta, esdeve testimoni de la realitat quotidiana dels seus veins. La narracio, que segons l'autor es el simple resultat d'haver "passejat un mirall al llarg d'un cami", es construida a traves d'un pintoresc mosaic de personatges, la banalitat de la vida diaria dels quals es converteix en materia literaria d'una qualitat extraordinaria.
