        Una música futura

        by María José Navia

        In "Una música futura" ("A future music"), awarded Best Literary Works 2019 in the category of unpublished short stories, María José Navia delves into intimate relationships mediated and sometimes infected by technology. Screens and screen-families, women who take refuge in the excess of information or try to completely disconnect from the world, foreigners who face fierce self-demanding or frankly violent scenarios. Seven stories that reflect on the possibilities of a threatening future where the uncertainty of our time seems to sing a secret and disturbing melody from which perhaps books can save us.

        Kintsugi

        by María José Navia

        How can a family be told? What are the pieces that make up your memory? What do we know about someone, beyond what they decide to show us? In Kintsugi, a family breaks down and those who make it up look for ways -sometimes subtle, sometimes extreme- to repair it. Characters who take refuge in their jobs or in caring for others, who need technology as a way to organize their affections, to perform small gestures of vigilance or even to survive in a precarious world. In the manner of the Japanese art that gives this book its title, María José Navia recomposes in this novel-in-stories the broken lives of its characters, beautifully highlighting the scars of those who leave and those who remain.
