Založba Malinc
At Malinc Publishing House we have been publishing quality children's literature since 2012 and have strived for bigger literary diversity throughout. We are concentrated on publishing authors from the Spanish speaking countries and minority literatures' representatives connected with the Spanish culture such as Basque, Catalan and Galician writers. Books of less known literatures from Europe and elsewhere have also been published by Malinc Publishing House. Through the reading promotion projects we put academic knowledge into practice. Besides, we carry out courses for the mentors of reading and organize literary readings and visits of foreign authors. It is in this way that we raise general reading literacy, intercultural and linguistic competences and include vulnerable groups, especially people with dyslexia.

June 2022I Only Cry With Emoticons
by Yuvi Zalkow
I Only Cry with Emoticons is a story about the many superficial ways we connect in a world full of communication devices, and how one guy learns how to connect with the people he cares about in real life. Saul’s the kind of guy who hides in the bathroom at his high-tech day job in order to write a novel about his dead grandfather, and then he wonders why his boss wants to fire him. Saul tells his almost-ex-wife about a blind date and then wonders why she slams the door in his face. When Saul gets drunk and tells his new girlfriend that he wants her to meet his ex-wife, he doesn’t understand why his girlfriend leaves him. While Saul’s career and love life crumble, he tries not to let that mess up his precious relationship with his seven-year-old son, who’s more comfortable living with Saul’s ex and her new boyfriend. When the pieces of Saul’s life crash into each other, we find out if he can wake up and cobble together a more connected life, a life as a decent dad in a decent relationship, while still finishing that novel about his bankrupt, drunk grandfather who struggled with the very same things. I Only Cry with Emoticons is about the ways that we try to connect with each other in a time when we’re sometimes more connected to our devices than our friends and family.
