Northern Irish Maggie O'Farrell is one of those authors who marks her work with the unmistakable stamp of her narrative uniqueness. Because in his plots he epitomizes the exuberance of his characters and descriptions with hypnotic actions. From its usual formal appearance loaded with lyricism, to a captivating symbolism, but always ...
The careers of Nora Roberts, Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn take place in a parallel development of success from a romantic genre capable of mimicking its plots with almost any other genre. So far in Spain the bibliography of the first two has transcended more, but everything indicates that the...
It usually happens that the irruption of a phenomenon as brutal as that of Anne Jacobs in a specific literary market such as the German one (a phenomenon equivalent to a Maria Dueñas in Spain in terms of subject matter and setting), can be reproduced with greater power still in his ...
In the, for me strange, art of four-handed writing (a formula exploited perfectly today by Alexander Ahndoril and Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril under the pseudonym Lars Kepler), we find two other Swedes who were able to set the tone for the success of the Keplers, well they were the…
1862 – 1937… When Scorsese made the film about Edith Wharton's novel “The Age of Innocence” it was because he found in this work that paradoxical aftertaste between the most internal claims and the constrictions of social conventions. From that idea, a whole tension exploded in the film…

It is quite a heroism not to succumb to the temptation of a pseudonym to dedicate yourself to writing when your name is Mamen Sánchez. Because every posh storyteller, with a truly common name, usually signs his books with bombastic aliases, scripted extensions between surnames or other resources. Everything is a matter ...
Youth literature has an almost polarized fondness between romantic genres (adolescent version) and fantasy or science fiction. You know, publishing industry mandates that it thinks it knows where to strike a sure hit among early readers. Although also, to be fair, we can find another type of ...
Among all the great Mexican writers of the twentieth century, with representatives of the world echo such as Juan Rulfo, Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes, José Emilio Pacheco may be the most versatile of all. Because Pacheco touched everything in which language provides written testimony, narrative passion, lyricism ...
Pavese's early disappearance made him that myth-made cult author that even Italo Calvino drank from for his prolific work. There is no poetic work more intense than that of someone who finally decides to exit the forum before his time arrives. The creative Pavese ...
