«Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas.» Gabriela Cabezón Cámara

Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio...

Este relato, crónica de la vida de Fonsi Trebi, un escritor gay nacido a principios de la década de los sesenta, es como una cámara del tiempo por la que transcurren casi cincuenta años a caballo entre dos siglos: el sida, el amor, cierta amistad, fundida en una suerte de paternidad foucaultiana, y sobre todo el mundo de la literatura, en esa mítica Barcelona de los escritores, editores y agentes, que parece agonizar sin remedio, pero no tanto como para que no siga sonando, fuerte y clara, la imperecedera voz de los escritores muertos.

An original portrait of Virginia Woolf as seen through the eyes of her maid.

All the secrets of story-telling from the author of Cold Skin 

Many writing and scriptwriting manuals promise magic formulas that are supposed to guarantee the success of your story. Les estructures elementals de la narrativa is no exception, except for a couple of details: the formula it proposes is not magic, but rather a scheme that is as simple as it is revealing because it holds all the secrets of narrative efficiency. 

The revised, definitive edition of Pablo Neruda's complete poetry.

A post-apocalyptic story possessing a rawness and sensitivity comparable to Cormac McCarthy's The Road  

A woman and a child survive in a secluded cabin in the woods. He is not her son and they hardly know each other. If she has taken him in, it is because neither of them has anyone else. 

El diablo está en los detalles, pero el amor también. En los detalles, y en el azar de un encuentro, en eso que se produce a pesar de la voluntad. Es una puerta de entrada, la mejor manera de entender los propósitos de una vida; o de extraviarlos por completo. Las paradojas de conquistar lo inconveniente o buscar incansablemente lo que ya tenemos. Pasiones que sobreviven a la muerte y otras que la provocan. Los disfraces que en rigor son nuestra esencia.

'This is a book about painting and swimming and how touch and voice can make light. It is about the way thoughts can drift to Cambodia and Gaza while doing the lengths in a public pool in Paris; how a Sho paint brush can turn into a bird and how the act of painting and swimming is like starting life all over again. Dive into this essential, desirable conversation between John Berger and Leon Kossoff and you will feel ever invigorated.’ Deborah Levy (from the Introduction)
