In Decency, two aspiring guerrilla fighters explode a bomb in the United States consulate in Guadalajara. During their difficult escape they come across the past that led them to that moment, and also the future that awaits them. An old man is kidnapped by a pair of revolutionaries in the seventies. The old man remembers the boy he was, and the little boy remembers the old man he will become. If something has distinguished Enrigues books it is the violence with which he redefines the boundaries of the novel with one aim: to subject time inexorably rigid and lineal- to the much more flexible logic of language.
"Raymond Carver achieved success thanks to a handful of stories published in the last twelve years of his life. His career was short due to his early death. However, his work has left an indelible mark and his influence has spread throughout the world."--Provided by publisher.
David Trueba invites us to join an electoral caravan: a vibrant novel about politics and politicians. This is the story, from the point of view of a writer, of the electoral campaign of a new candidate for a conservative party, let's say the PP. It is a road novel throughout Spain on a bus with the characters that make up the candidate's team, which aims to give an air of renewal to a party involved in corruption. A great novel, fast, funny, sexy, also very critical, with an unforgettable narrator, a lucid witness of the Spanish political reality, of the new uses of political marketing, of populism, of media tricks, and also a brilliant observer.
"La novela arranca con la vindicaciâon de la escritura y la construcciâon de un paisaje. Ese paisaje es fronterizo -entre Mâexico y Estados Unidos-, y en âel irâan apareciendo personajes, del pasado y del presente. Asoman misioneros, colonos y tambiâen los otros, los indios de las tribus ya civilizadas o aâun salvajes. Asoma una mujer que huye por el desierto, y un militar que persigue por ese desierto a unos indios que han robado ganado. Y tambiâen el mito de Gerâonimo, el apache rebelde, y un escritor que recorre esos parajes en busca de las huellas de la historia... Y esos y otros personajes que se van sumando acabarâan confluyendo en esta narraciâon total y mestiza, suma de western, relato histâorico, âepica, leyenda y metaliteratura. El resultado: una obra de enorme ambiciâon y de una perfecciâon rara, deslumbrante." --Publisher's description.
No writer is as emblematic of the American twentieth century as Susan Sontag. This book explores the insecurity behind the formidable public face: the relationships, the struggles with her sexuality, that animated--and undermined--her writing. Sontag is the first book based on the writer's restricted archives.
