        The Light in the Shadow

        by Susana Aliano Casales

        Living in the light sounds compelling. Living in the shade is a bit scary. But there is no need to worry, because it is not possible to live alone in one way or another. We generally travel between the two until we find our balance, something that the girl in this story has just discovered.

        Going Home

        by Susana Aliano Casales

        Sometimes, I don’t feel like going home. I run around a bush a hundred times, or I count all the trees along the avenue once again, or I simply lie down on the grass of the plaza, which is like an enormous green carpet all painted with flowers.

        Bekenntnisse eines friedfertigen Terroristen

        by Alex Gilvarry

        Laufsteg nach Guantánamo Seine Religion sind Glamour, Sex und Drogen. Wenn es um Geschmack geht, ist er radikal. Aber nicht deswegen findet sich Modedesigner Boy Hernandez von einem Tag auf den anderen in Guantánamo wieder. Was allerdings die wahren Gründe dafür sind, wieso aus seinem Traum, der größte Designer aller Zeiten zu werden, der absolute Alptraum geworden ist, kann sich Boy selbst am allerwenigsten erklären. Boy Hernandez hat es von der Modeschule in Manila nach New York geschafft. Seine Kreationen werden in einem Atemzug mit Comme des Garçons und Vivienne Westwood genannt. Nun sitzt er in Guantanamo. Die Anklage: Beteiligung an einer islamistischen Verschwörung. Dabei ist Boy nicht einmal religiös – jedenfalls solange Glamour, Sex und Drogen nicht als Religion gelten. Und radikal ist er nur, wenn es um guten Geschmack geht. Dennoch scheinen alle an seine Schuld zu glauben: Die Presse nennt ihn »Fashion-Terrorist«, seine Ex feiert mit ihrem Stück »Im Bett mit dem Feind« Erfolge am Broadway. Nur Boy selbst versucht verzweifelt zu begreifen, wie aus seinem Traum, der größte Designer aller Zeiten zu werden, der absolute Alptraum werden konnte.

        Mexique

        El nombre del barco

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas

        On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one.  This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

        And they say

        by Susana Sánchez Aríns

        Dicen (And they say) is a family story crossed by Franco's repression.   It tells what is not registered in notarial acts, or in newspapers, or in books, or in provincial archives. It tells a story of a day-to-day silence that became long, very long, and that has conditioned us until now.   Dicen tells real events in a network of voices silenced for generations, it is not written from the political reflection, but from the poetic justice, it is the contemporary account of the Spanish postwar period.   Dicen is an innovative book. It is not poetry, it is not an essay, it is not a short narrative and it is everything at the same time. Written in short sequences, it collects the intimate memory of a family and reconstructs their insignificant lives to show the terror of repression after the civil war. Conversations, poems, stories, essay references, fragmented sequences that the reader orders in a shocking story.   The narration drags the reader to the end by the rhythm, the different voices, the authenticity and the gradual understanding of why that time is silenced.   The author speaks of poetic justice as a way of giving life to those who did not want to be named after their death: the oppressors. This story recovers their names, their ways of acting, their personalities, their power. And it also brings back to life those who died in the ditches or lived marginalized: the victims.   It is very difficult to make historical memory from politics, however, literature is its natural space. An original work, with enormous expressive force and a unique point of view discovered by Susana Sánchez Aríns, an experienced, committed voice.   The book has received the Madrid Booksellers Award for Best Fiction Book 2019. (Premio de los Libreros de Madrid al Mejor Libro de Ficción)
