World's Best Mother
World's Best Mother is the journey of a writer through infertility, pregnancy, the mothering of small children, marriage, and an affair, told through a mix of personal anecdotes, imagination, and social commentary.
The Op-Ed Novel
The Op-Ed Novel follows a clutch of globally renowned Spanish novelists who swept into the political sphere via the pages of El País. Their literary sensibility transformed opinion journalism, and their weekly columns changed their novels, which became venues for speculative historical claims, partisan political projects, and intellectual argument.
Poetry and Crisis
Poetry and Crisis argues that the 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid marked a critical turning point in Spanish society, with poetry taking a unique role in reflecting new political and cultural realities.
Amores secretos
¿Qué es un amor secreto? ¿Algo inconfesable, callado, inaceptable, negado, culpable? Por otro lado, cuando el amor va seguido de un epíteto, de una atribución o de un calificativo, el propio sentido del amor cambia. Ya no se trata de amor a secas, con su variada panoplia de emociones y rebasamientos, de fusiones y duelos, sino de su construcción en torno a algo definido, y esto finalmente ¬o probablemente¬ acaba construyéndolo por encima de los sentimientos que se ponen en juego
The Tally Stick
After being in New Zealand for only five days, the English Chamberlain family vanished into thin air. Thirty year later, the remains of the eldest Chamberlain child are discovered in a remote part of the West Coast, showing he lived in the wilderness for four years. Where is the rest of the family? Up on the highway, the only evidence that the Chamberlains had ever been there was two smeared tire tracks in the mud leading into an almost undamaged screen of bushes and trees. No other cars passed that way until after dawn. By that time the tracks had been washed away by the heavy rain. After being in New Zealand for only five days, the English Chamberlain family had vanished into thin air. The date was 4 April 1978. In 2010 the remains of the eldest Chamberlain child are discovered in a remote part of the West Coast, showing he lived for four years after the family disappeared. Found alongside him are his father's watch and what turns out to be a tally stick, a piece of scored wood marking items of debt. How had he survived and then died? Where is the rest of the family? And what is the meaning of the tally stick?
Last Words on Earth
An exploration of the excruciating travails and sudden, immeasurable success of a Roberto Bolaño-esque writer.
No se van a ordenar solas las cosas
Los protagonistas de este libro sienten que han perdido la libertad para ordenar su propia historia dentro de otra historia que es mucho más grande que ellos mismos. La madre celosa del tiempo que su empleada de hogar pasa con sus hijos, el adolescente vigoréxico obsesionado con construir un cuerpo que lo convierta en mejor persona, el anciano judío homosexual que llora abrazado a los jerséis de su amante cuando se le rompe la lavadora... y la vida. Una colección de personajes que luchan por encajar en el relato de sus propias vidas, héroes y fracasados al mismo tiempo. Labari indaga en estos cuentos en el deseo, la diferencia de clase social o el racismo, y en las carencias de todo tipo que nos impiden descifrar nuestra identidad sin atender a dogmas o a recetas. Al contrario, enfrenta el peligroso deseo de reunir lo que es distinto a través del lenguaje y se lanza a escribir desde fronteras, palabras e idiomas nuevos.
