António Lobo Antunes
A Outra Margem do Mar / The Other Margin of the Sea
The Other Margin of the Sea recovers the beginning of the upheaval in Baixa do Cassanje, Angola. The novel thus falls on incidents that occurred before the colonial war, when large cotton plantations were burnt, events that were significant to the unfolding of the conflict.

Vidas de gatos / The Lives of Cats
When I finished writing the poems for The Lives of Cats I left them asleep in their room, until, in the middle of the night, they woke me up with their meows: the poems asked to become a song!
Antonio Skármeta
Los nombres de las cosas que allí había / The Names of the Things that Were There
Each of the stories in this book is an extraordinary piece of literature. Love, youth, desire, and freedom, along with versatile prose, sensitivity, and a subtle irony that sometimes morphs into dark humour, confirm Antonio Skármeta’s position as one of the greatest storytellers in contemporary literature.
Alfredo Bryce Echenique
Permiso para retirarme. Antimemorias III / Permission to retire. Antimemoir III

Guillermo Martínez
Una madre protectora

Luis Goytisolo
Chispas
Sparks, vignettes, details of everyday life observed without mercy, with humor and a few touches of eroticism and eschatology.
The monologues of someone who observes, half-heard dialogues, hodgepodges, fragments, details of a reality that often kindle sparks. Sarcastic texts, as brief as they are blunt, that record the universal nonsense without condemning it (since the readers are the ones who have to draw their own conclusions), drawing a sad picture before which, as Seneca says in the sentence attributed to him that closes the book: “You have to know how to make fun of life, and if you do that, it can even be funny.”
Ángeles González-Sinde
