Today, Patrick Radden Keefe is one of the great references in the research literature. And precisely from those always interesting books on various aspects of our world, good old Patrick also ended up frisking the fictional narrative with that band of writer in charge of ...
I remember the impact that Noam Chomsky's intervention had on me in the current conflict with the region of Catalonia. More than anything, because you always expect from intellectuals a measured, calm intervention, analyzing the facts and the substance. But of course, it's so tempting these days to get close to...
In my idea, as simplistic as it is correct, that every good writer of children's and young adult's literature is finally a virtuoso of the narrative capable of everything (for that being able to tune into the world of childhood or adolescence is an incomparable act of empathy ), the …
There is a standard that is often adhered to by today's science fiction writers. Almost all of them are prolific authors, surely thanks to their fertile imagination, capable of generating new worlds on the plane of blank pages. We have John Scalzi or Kim Stanley Robinson to…
There are writers who draw on the fantastic to build their plots and others who slip into that space of fantasy to let themselves, and therefore let us, carry away. Susanna Clarke is one of those authors. Something like what Michael Ende represents with his novels capable of ...
The Italian black genre advances sheltered by the prolonged shadow of a Camilleri in the image and likeness of what Vázquez Montalbán can represent in Spain. And it is not that each new author pays homage to this type of reference. It is rather that they, the referents, already ...

If you could think of a generational changeover for the great JJ Benítez, perhaps you would have to remember Javier Pérez Campos first. Of course, Benítez's creative fruitfulness spans many successful years. But in this writer, and also a journalist as the indicated reference, ...
If there is an author that is both widely recognized and simultaneously repudiated, it is Paulo Coelho. Bestseller of a kind of spiritual narrative, of the most chimerical self-help. Its parabolic plots, naive in some cases, thrill due to their simplicity and transcendence at the same time that they are fiercely branded as insubstantial by the ...
The romantic genre has been constantly reinventing itself. We have seen contemporary romance novels, romantic historical novels, fantastic romance novels and in the case of JR Ward we enjoy paranormal romance novels with a marked erotic tinge. Or at least that is the peculiar labeling under which it is intended to highlight a large part ...
Shot towards success with her debut work, Alaitz Leceaga aims to become a reference author on the European literary scene. And the trick, as on other occasions, lies in the narrative imprint, in that differential fact to know how to tell great stories (also due to their volume), which accompany readers for days...
Today we approach Eloy Moreno, who was the first great effect of an independent writer in Spain. A new trend that would later be followed by others who were also already recognized and even exalted such as Eva García Sáenz, Javier Castillo or Daniel Cid. Because… Who does not remember that fascinating book “The…
