Some names play against when it comes to reaching the public in distant countries. It happens on some occasions with Nordic authors who come to us with their unrecognizable typographic or phonetic versions. Lousie (I keep her name for that matter), is a writer ...
If you had to bet on a young writer, more longsellers or wardrobe bottoms than bestsellers of the thriving genre of the day (nothing to detract in these cases beyond opportunism), my files all went to Juan Gómez Bárcena's locker. Because in the already considerable bibliography of ...
One of the great virtues of Isaac Rosa is his ability to novel everything. It is no longer just a matter of his ability to move between genres, always with the solvency of the writer convinced and equipped with all the good creative tools of the trade (those imported and those that come from ...
From the very center of Liechtenstein comes an author who precisely returns to the epicenter of all that noir that today encompasses everything. With his elegant policeman dyes, Armin Ohri is able to take us to that dark nineteenth-century time in which the criminal moved ...
Despite her seniority within the vast list of authors of the Nordic noir genre, Marie Hermanson has not finished arriving on these shores as another narrator of the frozen criminal, only as the disconcerting author of a brilliant work in particular. But it is that Marie is something else. Because …

You never know with this revolving doors for those who leave active politics. In Spain it often happens that former presidents, former ministers and other group of retired leaders end up occupying the most unsuspected offices in large companies. But Germany is really different. There …
If there is a singular writer in current Spanish narrative that is JM Guelbenzu. Veteran but always avant-garde, fascinatingly erratic in its transition between genres but always successful in its plots and surprising in that balanced balance between form and substance. Something only typical of the seasoned trade, of the accustomed writer ...
