Laia Viñas · The other editorial
September is a literary pleasure. After the light summer proposals, publishers introduce us, little by little, your bets. The best of their catalog is yet to come, and they know how to slide it sinuously! The novel by Laia Viñas speaks of a period of energy, of joy, the rhythm. It talks about youth and adolescence, and of our recent past, present and future. Talk about getting older without aging. He talks about facing the future and not stopping the party. Talk about THE ROUTE. ALODIA CLEMENTE (The Red)
