Populism is the triumph of noise. And in a certain way it is the grave that the traditional political parties themselves dig for themselves thanks to their lukewarmness, their half-truths, their corruption, their post-truth, their interference in other powers and even in the fourth estate and their statistical figures ...
I think I looked at this book with the notion of finding some plot in the style Stephen King. But the shots are not there, nothing to see. The proposal of the book Fire by Joe Hill has a meeting point with the novel I am a legend by Richard Matheson. A scientific plot ...
From caste it comes to the greyhound. I recently reviewed a book by Fernando Ónega, the father of this author, who was lavished on an interesting essay on Spanish reality. But hey, let's focus on this book. Love in times of war. The paradox is reproduced in this story brought from ...
Quirke was a character who went from John Banville's novels to television across the UK. An overwhelming triumph whose secret is respect for the unique setting that this author, under the pseudonym Benjamin Black, has been offering his readers for years. All …

Subtitle: From illusion to disenchantment. And of that transition that this subtitle points to, beyond the historical Transition, there is much. A disenchantment with the work of political engineering that we were left perched for the elections of June 15, 1977. What seemed like a twinning has ...
From time to time I go around the current books and rescue those that evoke something about our society that is out of the ordinary, that raises critical thinking amid so much easy wandering, so much self-help for self-problems and so much unsubstantiality. I looked at the book ...
The heavy thought that you have failed someone can be chilling in light of the fateful subsequent events. You may not be entirely guilty that everything went so fucking wrong, but your omission proved fatal. That is the perspective that haunts the reader of this ...
When science fiction is transformed into a stage where emotions, existential doubts, transcendent questions or even deep uncertainties are represented, the result acquires a magically real tone in its most finalist interpretation.
