That there are new times in literature is unquestionable. Genres spread and tastes multiplied. The generational labeling that was once practiced with academic intent sounds like an impossible exercise.
The heritage of literature seems to be taking unpredictable paths in which the reader or rather the mass of readers can end up deciding which author deserves to be more recognized, over critics who can always be under suspicion of intentionality ...
That is why when authors like the one I bring to the fore today come out: Xavier Ruescas or another that comes to mind right now: Daniel Cid, we think of a kind of spontaneous generation that grows and flourishes in the endless meadow of other good writers without flower. For all this, welcome to Javier Ruescas, wonderful writer and mirror of many others...
Of course, if we talk about emerging flowers, we must not forget that Javier has his journalist qualification and the necessary concern to set up blogs and other channels in which to attract a multitude of followers delighted with his good work.
Javier liked fantasy youth stories, with that gothic vampire theme. So he started writing a juvenile novel and succeeded because he earned it hard. Everything that comes from there, considering his great work despite his insulting youth, will be well deserved.
Top 3 best novels by Javier Ruescas
Electro
Youth fantasy literature always maintains patterns in search of escape that are an immediate hook at 16 or 40. You just have to have a desire for that, escape. And avoiding reading means surrendering to the imagination. An exercise always recommended.
In this novel we find Ray facing that old youthful dream (or not so youthful if we remember titles like Open Your Eyes, I Am Legend or even the Langoliers of Stephen King) of an empty world. After the first feeling of deep anxiety, Ray tries to search for answers. The company necessary to survive this empty world will be Eden, a very special young woman ...
Between them they must trace the new path of a destiny pending to be written from the enigmatic lines of a diary that can lead to the answers or directly to the same place where all the others were lost ...
Forbidden to believe in love stories
Being young and not writing about love seems like an unnatural thing. From the romantic poets to the most thoughtful philosophers, everyone who has ever dared to write has undertaken the exhausting task of defining love. Javier Ruescas takes on that task in this novel.
Cali lives, especially online, all her vital references revolve around YouTube channels and the fleeting success of networks. On the other side we find Héctor living the truest although crude reality. With no known family he clings to a song and an intuition...
Until both, Cali and Héctor, tune in to that melody recorded on an old cassette that Héctor seemed to know he should keep at all costs ...
Play
It often happens that, before two brothers of the same sex, one is the one who takes the lead while the other assumes an apparently secondary role.
In this novel we find an almost Cainite novel, where the small conflicts typical of this duality so common in homes around the world rise to unsuspected heights. Leo is the forward-looking brother while Aaron is the shy of the two brothers.
And yet, Leo discovers one bad day that the one with the creative genius of the two is really Aaron. Without thinking about the consequences, Leo becomes Cain and betrays his brother, wanting to usurp the product of his most powerful creations.
