Just Kids
Patti Smith · 2010
<p> It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. </p> <p> Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous—the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years. </p> <p> <i>Just Kids</i> begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame. </p>
Kitchen
Banana Yoshimoto · 2015
<p>The acclaimed debut of Japan's "master storyteller" ( Chicago Tribune ). With the publication of Kitchen, the dazzling English-language debut that is still her best-loved book, the literary world realized that Banana Yoshimoto was a young writer of enduring talent whose work has quickly earned a place among the best of contemporary Japanese literature. Kitchen is an enchantingly original book that juxtaposes two tales about mothers, love, tragedy, and the power of the kitchen and home in the lives of a pair of free-spirited young women in contemporary Japan. Mikage, the heroine, is an orphan raised by her grandmother, who has passed away. Grieving, Mikage is taken in by her friend Yoichi and his mother (who is really his cross-dressing father) Eriko. As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale with the kitchen and the comforts of home at its heart. In a whimsical style that recalls the early Marguerite Duras, Kitchen and its companion story, Moonlight Shadow, are elegant tales whose seeming simplicity is the ruse of a very special writer whose voice echoes in the mind and the soul. "Lucid, earnest and disarming... [It] seizes hold of the reader's sympathy and refuses to let go." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times<br></p>

Lucía Lijtmaer · 2022
Una novela redonda sobre la huida del dolor como forma de supervivencia y la rebelión ante los roles de género contemporáneos.<br/>Es el verano de 2014. Una mujer joven que acaba de ser abandonada por su pareja huye de Barcelona a Madrid con un secreto y la convicción de que el apocalipsis se acerca. Cuatro siglos antes, otra mujer, Deborah Moody –quien pasó a la historia como «la mujer más peligrosa del mundo»–, se ve obligada a emigrar a las colonias de América del Norte cargando a su vez con otro secreto, muy distinto. ¿Qué tienen en común estas dos mujeres? ¿Por qué han decidido alejarse de aquello que conocen y empezar de nuevo?<br/>Sus voces desgranan dos historias cruzadas sobre violencia e hipocresía, brujas y curanderas. Sobre Salem como posibilidad de un mundo nuevo en el que algo pueda fructificar, lejos de quien juzga y condena. Sobre Barcelona como un espacio hackeado, desalmado y roto por la gentrificación, al borde del colapso, en el que el enamoramiento es una enfermedad y nada puede salvarse. ¿O sí?<br/>Con una prosa deudora de Bret Easton Ellis y Mercè Rodoreda, no exenta de ironía, sarcasmo y misterio, Lucía Lijtmaer ha escrito una novela redonda sobre la huida del dolor como forma de supervivencia y la rebelión ante los roles de género contemporáneos. Asimismo, retrata la ciudad como un personaje más, orgulloso y abandonado, que mira a sus habitantes por encima del hombro y parece decir: sigo aquí, pese a todo, húndete conmigo. Frente a la autodestrucción, la autora propone una solución radical: quemarlo todo. Solo así todo cauterizará.
