The Year of Magical Thinking
Joan Didion • 2005
<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • A landmark work about grief, love, and survival from one of America’s most iconic writers<br></b><br><b>One of <i>The New York Times</i>’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of <i>The Guardian</i>’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century<br></b><br>Joan Didion delivers a searing portrait of a marriage and a life – in good times and bad – that will speak to anyone who has ever loved and lost a husband or wife or child. In a work of electric honesty and passion, Didion explores how we all, somehow, will ourselves to survive. “An utterly shattering portrait of loss and grief.” <i>–The New York Times</i><b><i><br><br></i></b><i>S</i>everal days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana Roo, fall ill with septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later, the Dunnes were sitting down to dinner after visiting their daughter in the hospital when John suffered a fatal heart attack. In that one moment, their partnership of forty years came to an end. <br><br>This powerful narrative is Didion's “attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness…about marriage and children and memory…about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.”<br><br><b>“Didion has transformed grief into literature.” <i>—The Guardian</i></b>
The Copenhagen Trilogy: Childhood; Youth; Dependency
Tove Ditlevsen • 2021
<p><b>A </b><b><i>New York Times </i>10 </b><b>Best Books of the Year (2021)</b><br><b>An NPR Best Books of the Year (2021)</b><br><br><b>Called "a masterpiece" by <i>The New York Times</i>, the acclaimed trilogy from Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing.</b><br><br>Tove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature, and <i>The Copenhagen Trilogy</i> (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. <i>Childhood </i>tells the story of a misfit child’s single-minded determination to become a poet; <i>Youth </i>describes her early experiences of sex, work, and independence. <i>Dependency </i>picks up the story as the narrator embarks on the first of her four marriages and goes on to describe her horrible descent into drug addiction, enabled by her sinister, gaslighting doctor-husband.<br><br>Throughout, the narrator grapples with the tension between her vocation as a writer and her competing roles as daughter, wife, mother, and drug addict, and she writes about female experience and identity in a way that feels very fresh and pertinent to today’s discussions around feminism. Ditlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships, family and growing up—in this sense, it’s Copenhagen's answer to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels. She can also be seen as a spiritual forerunner of confessional writers like Karl Ove Knausgaard, Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk and Deborah Levy. Her trilogy is drawn from her own experiences but reads like the most compelling kind of fiction.<br><br>Born in a working-class neighborhood in Copenhagen in 1917, Ditlevsen became famous for her poetry while still a teenager, and went on to write novels, stories, and memoirs. Having been dismissed by the critical establishment in her lifetime as a working-class female writer, she is now being rediscovered and championed as one of Denmark’s most important modern authors.</p>
Los ingrávidos
Valeria Luiselli • 2012
Un día la narradora se roba una maceta con un arbolito muerto de la casa de un vecino y empieza a escribir una novela sobre lo que ve esa planta desde una esquina de su departamento. La planta empezaría a dominar la voz de la narradora hasta suprimirla por completo. El árbol muerto narra desde una esquina, a un lado de la entrada, donde se ve la cocina, la pequeña sala-comedor, y parte de la recámara. Le gusta ver a la mujer desnudarse por las noches en su cuarto antes de pasar al baño: ve la estela enmarañada de su pubis cuando pasa y entra, y luego estudia el contorno de sus nalgas cuando sale y se mete en el cuarto.

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.

BIBLIOTECA DE LA MEDIA NOCHE
Matt Haig • 2021
Entre la vida y la muerte hay una biblioteca. Y los estantes de esa biblioteca son infinitos. Cada libro da la oportunidad de probar otra vida que podrías haber vivido y de comprobar cómo habrían cambiado las cosas si hubieras tomado otras decisiones... ¿Habrías hecho algo de manera diferente si hubieras tenido la oportunidad? Nora Seed aparece, sin saber cómo, en la Biblioteca de la Medianoche, donde se le ofrece una nueva oportunidad para hacer las cosas bien. Hasta ese momento, su vida ha estado marcada por la infelicidad y el arrepentimiento. Nora siente que ha defraudado a todos, y también a ella misma. Pero esto está a punto de cambiar. Los libros de la Biblioteca de la Medianoche permitirán a Nora vivir como si hubiera hecho las cosas de otra manera. Con la ayuda de una vieja amiga, tendrá la opción de esquivar todo aquello que se arrepiente de haber hecho (o no haber hecho), en pos de la vida perfecta. Pero las cosas no siempre serán como imaginó que serían, y pronto sus decisiones enfrentarán a la Biblioteca y a ella misma en un peligro extremo. Nora deberá responder una última pregunta antes de que el tiempo se agote: ¿cuál es la mejor manera de vivir?
Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
Amanda Montell • 2021
“One of those life-changing reads that makes you see— or, in this case, hear—the whole world differently.” —Megan Angelo, author of Followers<br/>The author of the widely praised Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how cultish groups from Jonestown and Scientology to SoulCycle and social media gurus use language as the ultimate form of power.<br/>What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . .<br/>Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day.<br/>Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.
