In his speech, in his body language, even in his tone, a philosopher Juan José Millas is discovered, the calm thinker capable of analyzing it and exposing everything in the most suggestive way: narrative fiction. Literature for Millás is a bridge towards those small great vital theories that ...
After Patria, Fernando Aramburu comes back to the literary arena with a more personal work. But perhaps the most personal aspect of this work is the one that concerns the reader himself. Reading this book gives off an essential empathy, that which makes the common imagination, the ...
A story of the fan phenomenon from within, from the deepest part that turns idols into the empty sustenance of the most soulless lives. Beyond the euphoria, the music as a way of life, the shadowed myths and the cannon fodder legends of the ...
