Every Summer After
Carley Fortune · 2022
"A radiant debut."—Emily Henry,#1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers<br/><br/>THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!<br/><br/>Named One of the Hottest Reads of Summer 2022 by Today ∙ Parade ∙ PopSugar ∙ USA Today ∙ SheReads ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ BookBub ∙ Bustle ∙and more!<br/><br/>Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.<br/><br/>They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.<br/><br/>Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.<br/><br/>For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.<br/><br/>When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.<br/><br/>Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.
Estrellas de ciudad
Carla Martí · 2025
"Zora Pavlova, la nueva promesa de Hollywood, tiene un objetivo claro: conseguir el papel que le permitirá demostrarle al mundo qué tipo de actriz es en realidad. Con lo que Zora no contaba era con que su pareja, el actor del momento, le pusiera los cuernos delante de medio mundo haciendo que su reputación peligrara y alejándola de su oportunidad de brillar. Giovanni Brunelli tiene al alcance de su mano todo lo que cualquier estrella de rock podría desear: un contrato con una de las mejores discográficas de Estados Unidos, una oportunidad para dar el salto definitivo a una fama sin fin, y el atractivo y carisma necesario para dejar huella allá donde pase. ¿Qué lo detiene? Su incapacidad para componer nada que le guste y una reciente espiral de decisiones que no lo están dejando en buen lugar. Zora y Gio necesitan desesperadamente que su imagen cambie para conseguir aquello que más anhelan y estarán dispuestos a lo que sea con tal de hacerlo realidad. Incluso mantener una relación falsa pactada por sus equipos. ¿Qué son cuatro meses comparados con la promesa de alcanzar sus sueños?"--Back cover.

M. L. Rio · 2017
“Much like Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, M. L. Rio’s sparkling debut is a richly layered story of love, friendship, and obsession...will keep you riveted through its final, electrifying moments.”<br/>―Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest<br/><br/>"Nerdily (and winningly) in love with Shakespeare…Readable, smart.”<br/>―New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>On the day Oliver Marks is released from jail, the man who put him there is waiting at the door. Detective Colborne wants to know the truth, and after ten years, Oliver is finally ready to tell it.<br/><br/>A decade ago: Oliver is one of seven young Shakespearean actors at Dellecher Classical Conservatory, a place of keen ambition and fierce competition. In this secluded world of firelight and leather-bound books, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingénue, extras.<br/><br/>But in their fourth and final year, good-natured rivalries turn ugly, and on opening night real violence invades the students’ world of make-believe. In the morning, the fourth-years find themselves facing their very own tragedy, and their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, each other, and themselves that they are innocent.<br/><br/>If We Were Villains was named one of Bustle's Best Thriller Novels of the Year, and Mystery Scene says, "A well-written and gripping ode to the stage...A fascinating, unorthodox take on rivalry, friendship, and truth."
Una Trilogía Rural (Bodas de Sangre, Yerma y la Casa de Bernarda Alba) / Lorca's Rural Trilogy: a Graphic Novel
Federico García Lorca · 2023
UNA NUEVA MANERA, ÚNICA Y EMOCIONANTE, DE LEER A GARCÍA LORCA,POR LA ACLAMADA AUTORA DE FEDERICO «Una artista que está llevando la ilustración a sus niveles más altos». Andreu Buenafuente La tragedia de la pasión amorosa, las rivalidades familiares, la esterilidad, la represión sexual y la muerte son el hilo vertebrador de Bodas de sangre , Yerma y La casa de Bernarda Alba , las tres obras que conforman el ciclo por el que Federico García Lorca ha sido más celebrado como dramaturgo. Una trilogía rural en la que la mujer, el campo andaluz abrasado por el sol y los instintos son los grandes protagonistas que cobran nueva vida en esta interpretación personal y originalísima de Ilu Ros, la autora de la aclamada biografía Federico y «una de nuestras mejores dibujantes» (Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, El País ). La crítica ha dicho: «Una mirada a la sensibilidad de Lorca y [...] una nueva forma de mirar al poeta a través de la expresividad del dibujo». Edurne Portela La crítica ha dicho sobre Federico : «La gran dibujante y contadora de historias que es Ilu Ros aborda ahora la vida y obra de Federico García Lorca. Su Federico está lleno de pasión, arte, vida y poesía. Un fino y riguroso trabajo documental que ilustra con su trazo libre, evocador, personalísimo. Una joya». Elvira Lindo «Propone una cita con García Lorca que es un diálogo generacional, una mirada del presente al pasado y del pasado al presente. La palabra hoy lleva en su interior un mundo ilustrado». Luis García Montero «Si desean una biografía contada por una de nuestras mejores dibujantes, no se pierdan el Federico de Ilu Ros, un álbum estupendo en el que se narra y se pinta sin tapujos y con rigor la peripecia vital de García Lorca». Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, El País «Una artista que está llevando la ilustración a sus niveles más altos. [ Federico ] me encantó y cuando algo me gusta quiero compartirlo. Felicidades sinceras. [...] Es inmenso. Andreu Buenafuente, Late Motiv «Un libro muy feliz. [...] Inclasificable como la propia vida del granadino: [...] este volumen es muchas cosas y goza de la libertad que tenía Federico. Un gusto. [...] Gracias por este regalazo». Sergio del Molino, Más de Uno (Onda Cero) «Además de ser un excelente libro ilustrado,[...] Federico es un pozo de sabiduría sobre Lorca, de quien he aprendido muchas cosas que desconocía. Me ha estremecido ver las semejanzas de su momento con nuestro momento histórico». Luisgé Martín «El arte de Federico toca la fibra más humana, [...] y en esa universalidad radica su carácter intemporal. [...] Es exactamente esa ternura reconocible por cualquier lector la que capta Ilu Ros de mano maestra». Carlos Mayoral, Zenda «Una ilustradora sublime que ha aportado una montaña de granos de arena [con] todas esas voces que habitaron en el corazón y en el universo del poeta granadino. ¡Qué delicia!». Susana Santaolalla, Libros de Arena (RNE) «Ese Lorca impreso en blanco y negro en la memoria colectiva de España se enciende de colores en los dibujos de la autora». Fernando Díaz de Quijano, El Cultural «Un volumen delicioso, [...] un trabajo ímprobo, un relato de trazos, colores y letras». Chema García Langa, El gallo que no cesa (RNE)

She is the very thing he’s spent his whole life hunting.<br/>He is the very thing she’s spent her whole life pretending to be.<br/><br/>Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites.<br/>The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished in order to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.<br/>Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be overly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can in order to stay alive and out of trouble. Easier said than done.<br/>When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilyas princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites’ powers—the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is—completely Ordinary.

The Song of Achilles: A Novel
Madeline Miller · 2012
A New York Times Bestseller<br/>“At once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art….A book I could not put down.” —Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch House<br/>A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of Circe<br/>A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.<br/>“A captivating retelling of The Iliad and events leading up to it through the point of view of Patroclus: it’s a hard book to put down, and any classicist will be enthralled by her characterisation of the goddess Thetis, which carries the true savagery and chill of antiquity.” — Donna Tartt, The Times

Federico: Vida de Federico García Lorca / Federico: The Life of Federico García Lorca (Spanish Edition)
Ilu Ros · 2021
Un libro único<br/><br/>«La gran dibujante y contadora de historias que es Ilu Ros aborda ahora la vida y obra de Federico García Lorca. Su Federico está lleno de pasión, arte, vida y poesía. Un fino y riguroso trabajo documental que ilustra con su trazo libre, evocador, personalísimo. Una joya.»-Elvira Lindo<br/><br/>«Sabemos mucho de él, pero ¿cómo imaginarnos a Federico? Haciendo que las palabras de sus labios regresen al interior de sus sentimientos y sus razones. Eso es lo que hace Ilu Ros. Propone una cita con García Lorca que es un diálogo generacional, una mirada del presente al pasado y del pasado al presente. La palabra hoy lleva en su interior un mundo ilustrado.»-Luis García Montero<br/><br/>Federico solo hay uno. No le hacen falta apellidos. Un nombre que reconocen tanto niños como adultos, que suena a duende, a cante jondo y a romance popular, pero también a la vanguardia más rompedora. Un nombre que encarna la alegría y las sombras de España, la época más brillante de nuestra cultura desde la Edad de Oro, pero también la guerra y la vergüenza de un pueblo que nunca podrá perdonarse la muerte del poeta que más lo representaba.<br/><br/>En este libro escuchamos las voces de aquellos que lo conocieron, desde su familia cercana hasta la legión de amigos y amigas que lo frecuentaron en sus años granadinos, en las juergas líricas de la Residencia de Estudiantes o a lo largo de su intensa vida literaria. Y, por supuesto, la suya propia: la del poeta, la del dramaturgo, la del conferenciante, con la claridad de unas ideas que hoy tienen la misma fuerza, y, por n, la voz desnuda del hijo, del hermano y del amante enamorado. Ilu Ros fusiona voces y palabras con sus ilustraciones, que nos arrastran como la magnética personalidad de Federico García Lorca: icono de generaciones pasadas, presentes y futuras.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>A unique book.<br/><br/>“The great artist and storyteller Ilu Ros addresses the life and work of Federico García Lorca. Her Federico is full of passion, art, life, and poetry. It is a fine and rigorous documentary work, illustrated with her free, evocative, and very personal style. It’s a jewel.” —Elvira Lindo<br/><br/>“We know much about him. But how do we create a picture of Federico? By making the words from his lips return to the depths of his emotions and motives. This is what Ilu Ros does. She schedules a date with García Lorca, a generational dialogue, an insight from the present to the past, and from the past to the present. The word ‘today’ carries an illustrated world inside.” —Luis García Montero<br/><br/>There is only one Federico. He doesn’t need any last names. It is a name known to both children and adults alike. A name that carries the sound of duende, of cante jondo, of a romance of the people, but that is also at the most game-changing avantgarde. A name that embodies the joys and shadows of Spain, the most brilliant time in our culture since the golden age, as well as the war and the shame of a people that will never forgive itself for the death of its most distinctive poet.<br/><br/>Within these pages we hear the voices of those who knew him, his closest relatives and the legion of friends that visited him during his years in Granada, in the lyric parties at the Students Residence, or throughout his intense literary life. And of course, his own voice, the voice of the poet, of the playwright, of the speaker, with ideas so clear, and just as strong today. It is the voice of the son, the brother, the lover. Ilu Ros blends voices and words with her illustrations, pulling at us just like Federico García Lorca’s magnetic personality, icon of generations past, present, and future.

Cartas (1900-1914): Obras Completas Volumen IV
Franz Kafka · 2018
Por primera vez se emprende la publicación en castellano de la totalidad de las cartas de Kafka que se han conservado. Se entiende aquí por cartas todas las misivas que Kafka escribió a lo largo de su vida, ya se trate de postales, de telegramas o de cartas propiamente dichas, sin excluir las de carácter oficial, comercial o profesional. Cerca de un centenar y medio de las reunidas en este volumen nunca habían sido traducidas. Pero tanto o más destacable que esta novedad es el que todas las cartas se dan en una nueva traducción realizada a partir del texto y la secuencia cronológica establecidos por la exigentísima edición crítica alemana de Hans-Gerd Koch. Los años que comprenden las cartas aquí reunidas son los que transcurren desde la adolescencia de Kafka hasta su madurez temprana. La primera carta está escrita cuando Kafka acababa de cumplir los diecisiete años; la última, cumplidos ya los treinta y uno, cuando se hallaba resuelto a emprender una vida independiente de su familia, ya fuera en pareja, ya en solitario. Hasta finales del año 1912, los corresponsales de estas cartas son sobre todo familiares de Kafka, amigos de infancia y de juventud -muy en particular, Max Brod-, su primera 'novia', sus superiores en el trabajo y sus primeros editores. Pero el 20 de septiembre de ese mismo año Kafka escribe por primera vez a Felice Bauer, a quien había conocido poco antes, y el caudal de su correspondencia se intensifica vertiginosamente, al ritmo a veces de una carta diaria, en ocasiones dos, y se focaliza casi en exclusiva en la que no tardará en convertirse en su prometida. Antes, durante y después de la procelosa correspondencia con su novia berlinesa, sin embargo, la lectura en secuencia de todas las cartas permite captar la 'polifonía' de las voces de Kafka, los muy variados registros de su personalidad, la multiplicidad de sus 'tonalidades', que se alternan a veces con sorprendente simultaneidad. Y no sólo eso: permite además percatarse de cómo todos sus mecanismos psicológicos obedecen a una fundamental obsesión: encontrar el momento en que ponerse a escribir.

Hombres G: Nunca hemos sido los guapos del barrio / Hombres G: We've never been the cute guys on the block (Spanish Edition)
Javier Leon Herrera · 2021
«En este libro nos hemos desnudado como nunca antes lo habíamos hecho.»<br/><br/>David, Dani, Javi, Rafa (Hombres G)<br/><br/>La primera biografía autorizada del grupo más icónico de los ochenta.<br/><br/>David Summers compuso Devuélveme a mi chica horas antes de salir a tocar en Rock-Ola, cuando se enteró que la chica que le había dejado iba a asistir al concierto con su nuevo novio. Nadie creía que pudieran ganarse la vida con la música, ni siquiera su padre, quien le dijo: «No te veo con sesenta años cantando Sufre mamón».<br/><br/>En su primera prueba para entrar en un grupo, Los Residuos, Javier de Molina destrozó la batería a base de golpes. Era la primera vez que se sentaba en una. Le ficharon sin dudarlo. Ahí empezó todo. Los primeros ensayos con Hombres G los hacía dándose golpes en la pierna al no tener batería propia.<br/><br/>Con doce años Daniel Mezquita compraba vinilos de David Bowie; con dieciséis hacía pellas para colarse en Rock-Ola y tocar con el uniforme del colegio puesto; y con dieciocho se escapaba de su casa por la noche para poder actuar de madrugada con los Hombres G en un pub.<br/><br/>Rafael Gutiérrez tuvo que abandonar el Club Deportivo Pegaso por su cabellera rockera, su pasión por la música estaba por encima de su afición al fútbol. Aprendió a tocar la guitarra con el Made in Japan de Deep Purple. Conoció a David y Javi en TVE en 1982 y con él nacieron los Hombres G.<br/><br/>Esta es la historia de cuatro niños soñadores, apasionados de la música, que empezaron formando un grupo punk inspirado en los Sex Pistols y que, años después, cuando triunfaron como Hombres G, rechazaron contratos millonarios por ser fieles a quien creyó en ellos desde el principio. Esta es la historia de unas canciones inmortales y unas vivencias únicas con detalles nunca contados; de un grupo que ha tocado en míticos escenarios en América y España y se ha convertido en leyenda viva del pop-rock español: Hombres G.<br/><br/>HOMBRES G ha tenido una trayectoria legendaria, con millones de discos vendidos y más de mil conciertos incluyendo sold out en míticos escenarios de la talla de Las Ventas en Madrid, el Palau Sant Jordi de Barcelona, el Arena de la Ciudad de México y Monterrey, el Auditorio Telmex de Guadalajara, el Hollywood Bowl y el Gibson Amphiteatre de Los Ángeles y el Radio City Music Hall de Nueva York. Es el único grupo pop-rock español de todos los tiempos con casi cuarenta años de vida y semejante palmarés.<br/><br/>La leyenda Hombres G se forja a través de su esencia: un repertorio de canciones inolvidables que invitan al buen rollo y forman parte de la banda sonora de la vida demillones de personas, un público intergeneracional que sigue llenando sus conciertos y compartiendo su filosofía de vivir con energía levantándose por la mañana dando un salto mortal.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>"In this book we’ve stripped down as we never have before. "<br/><br/>David, Dani, Javi, Rafa (Hombres G)<br/><br/>The first authorized biography of the most iconic group of the eighties.<br/><br/>David Summers composed Devuélveme a mi chica hours before going out to play at Rock-Ola, when he found out that the girl who had left him was going to be at the concert with her new boyfriend. Nobody believed that they could earn a living with music, not even his father, who told him: "I don't see you at sixty singing Sufre mamón."<br/><br/>In his tryout for a band, Los Residuos, Javier de Molina destroyed the drums with his blows. It was the first time he had sat in front of one. They signed him without hesitation. That's where it all started. The first rehearsals with Hombres G were done by drumming on his leg because he did not have his own drum kit.<br/><br/>At the age of twelve, Daniel Mezquita bought a vinyl by David Bowie; at sixteen he had the balls to sneak into Rock-Ola and play with his school uniform on; and at eighteen he ran away from home at night so he could perform at dawn with the Hombres G in a bar.<br/><br/>Rafael Gutiérrez had to leave the Pegaso Sports Club because of his rocker hair, his passion for music was greater than his love of

Renée Carlino · 2015
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.<br/><br/>To the Green-eyed Lovebird:<br/><br/>We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.<br/><br/>You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.<br/><br/>We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.<br/><br/>Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…<br/><br/>I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.<br/><br/>After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?<br/><br/>M

Canto yo y la montaña baila (Spanish Edition)
Irene Solà Saez · 2020
Primero llegan la tormenta y el rayo y la muerte de Domènec, el campesino poeta. Luego, Dolceta, que no puede parar de reír mientras cuenta las historias de las cuatro mujeres a las que colgaron por brujas. Sió, que tiene que criar sola a Mia e Hilari ahí arriba en Matavaques. Y las trompetas de los muertos, que, con su sombrero negro y apetitoso, anuncian la inmutabilidad del ciclo de la vida.<br/>Canto yo y la montaña baila es una novela en la que toman la palabra mujeres y hombres, fantasmas y mujeres de agua, nubes y setas, perros y corzos que habitan entre Camprodon y Prats de Molló, en los Pirineos. Una zona de alta montaña y de frontera que, más allá de la leyenda, conserva la memoria de siglos de lucha por la supervivencia, de persecuciones guiadas por la ignorancia y el fanatismo, de guerras fratricidas, pero que encarna también una belleza a la que no le hacen falta muchos adjetivos. Un terreno fértil para liberar la imaginación y el pensamiento, las ganas de hablar y de contar historias. Un lugar, quizás, para empezar de nuevo y encontrar cierta redención.

El viejo y el mar
Ernest Hemingway · 2010
Una de las historias más grandes jamás contadas.<br/><br/>En esta nueva y magistral traducción de Miguel Temprano García, El viejo y el mar recobra todo el esplendor del clásico imperecedero que le valió el Premio Pulitzer de 1953 a Ernest Hemingway.<br/>Con un lenguaje de gran fuerza y sencillez, El viejo y el mar narra la historia de un viejo pescador cubano a quien la suerte parece haber abandonado, y del desafío mayúsculo al que se enfrenta: la batalla despiadada y sin tregua con un pez gigantesco en las aguas del golfo.<br/>Escrito en 1952, por encargo de la revista Life, este relato lo confirmó como uno de los escritores más significativos del siglo XX, obteniendo el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 y allanando su carrera hacia el Nobel de Literatura, que recibió en 1954.<br/>Reseñas:<br/>«Su mejor obra. El tiempo demostrará que es la mejor que cualquiera de nosotros haya escrito, y con eso me refiero a sus coetáneos y a los míos.»<br/>William Faulkner<br/>«El escritor estadounidense más célebre desde Mark Twain: con él la literatura yanqui entró en una nueva dimensión.»<br/>Jaime G. Mora, ABC<br/>«Su paleta era increíblemente amplia, y exquisita y violenta y brutal y fea, era todas esas cosas. Con todos sus defectos, con todas las dificultades, su vida personal o lo que sea, parecía entender al ser humano.»<br/>Michael Katakis<br/>«Cuando se logra desmontar una de Faulkner uno tiene la impresión de que le sobran resortes y tornillos y que será imposible devolverla otra vez a su estado original. Hemingway, en cambio, con menos inspiración, con menos pasión y menos locura, pero con un rigor lúcido, dejaba sus tornillos a la vista por el lado de fuera, como en los vagones de ferrocarril. Tal vez por eso Faulkner es un escritor que tuvo mucho que ver con mi alma, pero Hemingway es el que más ha tenido que ver con mi oficio.»<br/>Gabriel García Márquez<br/>«Hemingway dejaba una intensa vida de aventuras, emociones y sentimientos que supo llevar a sus relatos magistrales. [...] Literatura sencilla, cruda, hermosa y perfecta. Escribía como vivía y ello le permitió crear su propio estilo, único, inconfundible y genial. El estilo Hemingway.»<br/>Javier García Recio, La Opinión de Málaga<br/>«Pocos como Hemingway cumplen el proverbio "el escritor muere, pero su obra permanece".»<br/>Vanessa Jaklitsch, La Razón<br/>«Mira el mundo sin prejuicios ni preconceptos y graba con precisión y economía, y con una inmediatez casi aterradora, exactamente lo que ve.»<br/>Javier García Recio, La Opinión<br/>«Su pasión por narrar lo lleva a la selección de la realidad, a las omisiones, al lenguaje minimalista, a esa voluntad de relatar lo real que se convierte en su poética personal y su lirismo.»<br/>Ricardo Lladosa, Zenda Libros
