Antes del Ángel
Esta obra es una suerte de ritual primigenio que busca (más que plantear interrogantes acerca del ser y estar en este mundo) contestar esas preguntas que crecen a la par con nuestra conciencia. Un Dios difuminado ante el quehacer del hombre y sus dudas ingentes, por momentos, no es más que un testigo silente de un mundo donde el hombre y las fuerzas telúricas polarizan la atención del lector. La voz del poeta se funde con un cuerpo de mujer y juntos protagonizan el caos original, la creación de un mundo aún sin el anatema divino, antes de la espada flamígera del Ángel que habría de expulsarlos del paraíso terrenal. Resulta así una poesía polifónica, subterránea como las fuerzas...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Necesidades interiores
Necesidades interiores focaliza y recoge vivencias tempranas, voces que a momentos alcanzan la tesitura del dolor y el abandono para habitar luego un extrañamiento que por intenso deviene una soledad cruenta, casi brutal. Los poemas que conforman este libro consignan ese ambular solitario del poeta por los recuerdos y las heridas evidenciadas en metáforas deslumbrantes: luces que alumbran y animizan a la vez los rumbos de la nostalgia, el amor, el erotismo, la soledad y la reflexión urgente y necesaria ante el devenir de un mundo cada vez más caótico y abstruso. Es esta una poesía de impasses largos y planteamientos alucinantes que busca siempre una respuesta huidiza a través de un vuelo lírico encabalgado en todo momento con sentimientos prístinos y con una especie de recuento de los daños que hablan de una confesión abierta y plural de lo que el quehacer poético es o debiera ser.
Labyrinth
Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.

The Italian
An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
