Frankstein's mother, from Almudena Grandes

Frankstein's mother

I always find the etymology of the word hysteria curious. Because it comes from the womb in Greek. And so the easy and abhorrent association of the feminine with the insane by nature is easily derived. Aberrant. Almudena Grandes in this novel is fixed in a particular female psychiatric that existed in ...

1793, by Niklas Nat Och Dag

1793

Remember well the date made as the title of this novel, because giving the name of the author you may be stuck for life. Nothing to see 1984, by the now more easily pronounceable George Orwell. Jokes aside, we are faced with one of those explosive discoveries of the crime novel. Cast …

Conspiracy Vermú, by Aitor Marín

Vermouth Conspiracy

These are good times for the most traditional Hispanic satire from a grotesque in which Valle-Inclán itself would be overwhelmed. An occasion that paints her bald to write a good story about all this surrealism that surrounds us, or rather devours us. And so it has ...
