Infinity in a reed
Irene Vallejo · Siruela · 2019
Irene Vallejo proposes a journey through history to delight us with the essence of universal literature: the books. A pleasure to navigate the waters of the Nile until resting on the shores of a crystalline sea with our favorite specimen in our hands., purchased from our trusted bookstore, where the bookstore has wrapped it with exquisite delicacy. Una escritora en estado de gracia que nos devuelve el placer de leer por necesidad biológica. ALODIA CLEMENTE (The Red)
Miquel Grau 53/1977
Llum Quiñonero · Pruna Llibres · 2019
El nombre de Miquel ha estado ligado a la lucha por los derechos nacionales y una vaga memoria de lo ocurrido se ha mezclado con el deseo de olvidar de unos y la interesada desmemoria de otros. En el centro del debate, la violencia política, el sentido de la Transición, la lucha por las libertades y el autogobierno y el freno a las aspiraciones de una sociedad que construyó la democracia con la herencia del franquismo pisándole los talones. La periodista LLum Quiñones traza un retrato exhaustivo de un acontecimiento irreversible que, somehow, viene a resumir esa época que, de un modo un tanto frívolo, we call Transition. JAIME ORTEGA (Per(r)ear)

Now we count
Cristina Fallarás · Anagram · 2019
The journalist Cristina Fallarás draws interesting conclusions from the three million twits who supported the hashtag #cuéntalo where many women confessed the attacks they had suffered throughout their lives. These testimonies, in first person, that formed a collective memory of sexist violence were a slap in the face of abstraction. Abstraction institutionally imposed that constructs hollow terms such as “gender violence”. The “Historical memory”. O “risk premium”. S.M.
The hungry and the satisfied
Timur Worms · Six Barral · 2019
A huge caravan of refugees travels thousands of kilometers towards Germany to request asylum. They see no other way out. The march is broadcast by German television with one of its star reporters at the helm. The important thing is audiences and advertisers. The German government debates how to stop the “onslaught”. It's the law. Timur Worms uncovers Europe's cynicism on immigration issues in this acidic social satire. S.M.
