Te comeré el corazón
by Asbel Hernández
Una vez más, Asbel Hernández me toma por sorpresa. Leo sus historias y es inevitable sentir su aspereza y su enorme fuerza narrativa. Es una literatura cruel. Una prosa despiadada que es capaz de colocar en la superficie de una letra, de cualquier palabra, de una frase trivial, todo el dolor que acompaña al verdadero amor. Al amor por un hombre, al amor de una madre, al amor de una hija. al hambre de amor. Con su ya conocido estilo provocador, Asbel nos obliga en este libro a replantear nuestro concepto de familia al mostrarnos su compleja fragilidad anclada en el discurso cultural alentando roles que nada tienen que ver con el amor. Asbel desnuda en su literatura a La Maternidad exponiendo sus lealtades y mentiras, las dependencias. Sus demandas nunca satisfechas. Por sus páginas desfilan todas las Medeas y Clitemnestras, todos los destinos posibles enfrentados a las tristes fuerzas de poder que se juegan al interior de la familia. Cierro el libro y pregunto en silencio: ¿Me quieres, mamá? María Esther Núñez

Nori e Eu
by NINOMIYA, SONIA | NINOMIYA, MASANORI
Nori&Eu; is a project with three voices. Caeto, a Brazilian author of comics and an illustrator, is the editor and brings together two versions of one family’s story: the narrative of Sonia and her son Massanori, or Nori. Sonia tells her story beginning with the birth of Massanori, the difficulties in diagnosing her autistic son, his relationships with the other siblings, family, school and friends. A story of love and dedication, but full of prejudice and difficulties as well. Moving and dramatic. Massanori in turn, a student in Caeto’s drawing course and author of mangas (fanzines), tells his story in a peculiar manner, circumscribed by world events. As explained by his mother: “I perceive my son’s mind as a compendium relating facts and dates, today not only limited to Disney related subjects or super heroes, but historical facts, cultural landmarks and family stories that he finds in books, encyclopedias and by talking with family members… It’s his security blanket.”

May 2017Cat Power
La toma de la Tierra
by Cecilia Palmeiro
Rorro the cat (of extraterrestrial origin) writes about a character named “Godmother,” a shopping center goddess, connoisseur of international lovers, queer militant, and synthetic drug partier who he unscrupulously calls “CONICET Bureaucrat,” and who he outs as a thief, judging himself as the author of the book, Desbunde y felicidad: attributed to the top critic Cecilia Palmeiro. Rorro’s project? Taking over Earth to invent The Clowder Future. The book’s plot is insane, full of designer orgies, semi-legal trips under the guise of research grants, and hangovers as frequent as the dicks Godmother runs through. But it’s also a radical critique of how humans live, a catty, feminist investigation. María Moreno

Gender studies: womenJune 2012MUJERES A LA CONQUISTA DE ESPACIOS.
by ALMELA BOIX, Margarita; GUZMÁN GARCÍA, Helena; SANFILIPPO, Marina; GARCÍA LORENZO, María Magdalena
Mujeres a la conquista de espacios es el cuarto libro del Seminario sobre Literatura y Mujer (siglos XX y XXI) y está dedicado a la representación de los espacios físicos y simbólicos de las mujeres. Hasta el siglo XIX, los espacios en la literatura eran simplemente un lugar de paso, una realidad más o menos formal, pero con los cambios sociales y los nuevos enfoques de pensamiento de los siglos XX y XXI, el espacio pasará a ser entendido desde otro punto de vista: ocupar un espacio define nuestro estar en el mundo, conseguir una realidad espacial significa ocupar un lugar en el tiempo, con todo lo que comporta ejercer algún tipo de poder o sufrir alguna pérdida.

Biography & True StoriesDecember 2020Amazonas con pincel
by Victoria Combalía
This book proposes a fascinating, clear and didactic journey through the life and work of women artists. Camille Claudel, Frida Kahlo or Dora Maar, among others, occupy the pages of this book illustrating a wide time period and their corresponding styles, from Impressionism to the 1940s of the 20th century.This work constitutes a corrected and enlarged part of Amazonas con brush, a book published in 2006. The texts seek a balance between the historical importance of the creators and the interest in their life, which sheds much light on the difficulties of being a woman and artist at the same time. For this reason, special attention has been paid to their working conditions, their success or neglect of their careers, and those who were able to encourage them or, on the contrary, silence them. They fought, like men, to express their vision of the world and renew artistic language, but in a social context far removed from equal opportunities. This book written by Victoria Combalía was in 2006 the first publication that was published in Spain focused on women artists.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)June 2019TELL
by Martín Lombardo
Once upon a time… the Tell universe, a universe that is presented to us in multiple intertwined dimensions, and in which the characters intersect in paths of thought and action. In a transition between written language and visual language, the novel reconstructs the relationship between life and art, so that the action breaks down into reality and warns us that we live in it. On the one hand, we are introduced to a 60 years-old filmmaker who revisits his life. Despite not having the last name Tell, he wonders if he is a descendant of the mythical Swiss hero, William Tell. On the other hand, there is a young man trying to piece together an endless puzzle in which, in exchange for a fee, he finds himself aroused by his own desires. And also, there is a mysterious feminine presence around which all stories are forged, as the origin and end of the real and the mythical. Read, see, and dare to ask yourself: Am I a Tell?

Infancia y abandono en la Barcelona del siglo XV
by Ximena Illanes Zubieta
Este libro explica cómo fue el abandono de niñas y niños en la Barcelona del siglo XV, deteniéndose en tres etapas esenciales: la escena del abandono, el cuidado de los lactantes en manos de nodrizas y el aprendizaje en casas ajenas. En cada fase se revisan las condiciones de integración y marginación, la presencia de lo femenino y los relatos de amores y desamores. Las historias que aquí se recogen permiten comprender las diferentes dimensiones del abandono, acto que involucraba no solo a los infantes expuestos, sino también a su entorno. Los niños en su mayoría eran abandonados en las puertas del Hospital de la Santa Creu de Barcelona durante las horas menos transitadas para evitar el juicio social. Las cartas que acompañaban a los infantes reflejan el drama de la pobreza y, por ende, la incapacidad forzosa de las madres para asumir el rol de la crianza. Al reconstruir el contexto de la época, el lector tiene la posibilidad de realizar un ejercicio de empatía que vuelve el foco de atención al presente. Es inevitable percibir las duras realidades que se mantienen a lo largo del tiempo y el casi irreparable sufrimiento que causa la soledad en los primeros años de vida.

March 2023The Princess of Buchenwald
Mafalda of Savoy's Forgotten Story
by Ana Andreu Baquero
An Italian princess who went from spending her life in the most lavish palaces to being interned in a Nazi concentration camp, and was almost written out of the history books: Mafalda of Savoy. Weimar, 1945. Just after the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp, seven men from the Italian Royal Navy enter the cemetery of the German city and head to a grim section covered with numbered stakes. Once there, they seek out the stake that has demanded hard work and good luck, in equal measure, to locate: number 262 where, according to the register, lie the remains of an unbekannte Frau (‘unknown woman’). When they pull out the stake, they see a previously hidden name that confirms the great significance of their mission. They substitute the simple stake with a stone and wooden cross made of beech obtained through bartering during those early days of peace. The tomb is now complete, and that somber number has been converted into a name of noble lineage and carved with care: Mafalda of Savoy.

FictionMay 2020La reina del exilio
by Herminia Luque
EDHASA’S HISTORICAL FICTION AWARD 2020 Salic law’s abolition in articulo mortis and accession to the throne of Elizabeth II unleash the conflictive 19th Century in Spain, time of fratricidal wars, conspiracies and mysteries. In 1882, Elizabeth II lived her Parisian exile in the Palace of Castile, being around noble people and luxury, but far from power. To that court will arrive an attractive gentleman, Julio Uceda, sent by Sagasta with very risky documents for the queen; and also will arrive Teresa, a young girl raised and educated in Rhe Girls of Leganés, An orphans school in Madrid, whose life and thoughts are so different to that ones behind rich people. Among Julio and Teresa will grow a love story that will have to survive to political conspiracies and the suffocating and corrupt atmosphere of a decaying monarchy. Nothing is what it seems to be, but, at the same time, everything is as hypocritical and degraded as it is shown. Herminia Luque related us a palatial intrigue; an approximation to the historical figure of Isabel II, as well as a magnificent, precise and ironic recreation of the 19th Century. And she recounts us in an unusual and clever way, thanks to femenine characters perfectly fits and an original and intelligent narrative structure, which includes a critical look at the highly contrasting contexts of society at the time.
