A book that champions theimagination as an act of
political resistance.
One might expect this step fromEnrique Daz Alvarez. From being askilled film editor, he has moved focusto the essay and here proposes aliterature of resistance in the face ofinvading discourses. This book issuggestive, creative and highlyrecommended.

Bilbaos language is incisive, razorsharp and devoid of florid adornment oftenthe most important thing is not what is said, but what is left unsaid what issuggested. And its precisely their capacity to suggest things to us that makesthese small stories feel big, in all senses of the word

VESALIUS SECRETEl secreto de Vesalio
The secret of Vesalius is one of those books one shouldpreferably read when it rains and storms outside, a hotchocolate with rum on the side. Jordi Llobregat knows hisbusiness and leads you into a turn of the century world ofobsessed men, ambitious students and long buried familysecrets that burst open. There couldnt be a better backgroundfor such a story than the baroque city of Barcelona and itsmany dark and poverty stricken barrios at that time. A wellaccomplished first novel and an engaging, scary tale!
Nelleke Geel Meridiaan Uitgevers, Holanda
An excellent and atmospheric historicalthriller. I loved it Philip Kerr

A Model StudentBuena Alumna
An analysis of the tension betweenthe living and the inanimate (...) Wecan make a connection between herprose (and intelligence) and twoauthors, Fleur Jaeggy and ClariceLispector, but there is anotherspecific merit in Buena alumna: thatof renaming a London alreadycrowded with literature. Porronishares with other authors (fromPatrick Hamilton to Hanif Kureishi),her exploration of the city, theprecariousness, the misery, thedisorientation of its victims
Carlos Pardo
Like many first novels (..) is writtenin the first person. Like very few, its
a novel that invents a voice, a uniquevoice that is fierce, uncompromising,
heard with a hardcore rawness,without the slightest irony

MasterfulMagistral
It leaves the impression that it is possible for something new, radical andchallenging to emerge in Spanish literature. If the author were from Chicago
or San Francisco, he would have more translations than readers nowEl Confidencial
Could be like a magic show which suddenly exhausts its repertoire, unleashingsuch surprise that it brings about K.O. And yet, his wise combination of geniusand madness, of fun and of evaluation, offers us an interesting reflection on therelationship that we maintain with literature. Like in the works of Calvino, theessays of Eco, like in childrens stories, you choose your own adventure
scar Brox, Dtour
A speech, a satire, a pamphlet, a diatribe. Its the language of an apocalypticand suicidal king who resigns from his office, from his language, from the
Spanish language because he cannot bear the mediocrity of that which theaverage writer and reader have succumbed

Second NatureLa mirada de los peces
It might be said that the bookpromotes its own structure byassembling thoughts and reflections,by bringing together the impulses of aprose that takes advantage of its needto build meanings. This way ofproceeding comes from sure fromSergio del Molino's activity of newsreporting, but there is no doubt thathe uses this resource skillfully,adapting it to the nonfiction subjectthat supports his literature
