Anthropophobia. Artificial intelligence and calculated cruelty

A solidly conceived and written work, rhythm and meaning. Prose, sometimes as lyrical as poetic prose, memorial or autobiographical writing, travel chronicle. It has a little bit of everything, but above all, a tone and style that draws from and draws from our most solid and unique literary tradition, of that writing that the best journalists cultivated.

The bee sting
Paul Murray · Anagram
The four-voice story of a Barnes family with economic and prestige problems, that is frayed on the inside and is not able to maintain its composure from the outside. The four of them are unhappy in their own way and the bunker that the father is building to save them from ecological collapse is not going to help.. Paul Murray presents us with outlined characters who travel a great arc driven by secrets. They are neither few nor light for a village in rural Ireland. It's hard to get in, but once inside, Murray takes you where he wants, of the comical almost absurd, even the drama with an air of chufla. Booker Prize finalist work 2023. S.M.
