Sweet Caress - William Boyd

It was a man in "Any Human Heart" and now it's a woman, Amory Clay, who tells us her life in this novel. A life that swings along the past century. She's incidentally a photographer and a good deal of black and white snapshots help the narrative. Main issues are the men in her life and the disastrous effects of wars upon human beings. Minor issues are the detailed descriptions of pieces of clothing and the unhealthy and ever-present alcoholic drinks and cigarettes. It reads as a sweet caress.

Ukabilak eta loreak - Julen Belamuno

Gaur egungo jende arruntaren zortzi istorioek egilearen lehenengo liburua (hobe berandu inoiz ez baino) osatzen dute. Idazkera atsegina eta kontatzeko sena berezia daukala iruditu zait. Zinea ekarri dit gogora, gidoiren bat irten liteke hemendik.

Esto no es una historia de amor - José A. Pérez Ledo

Bueno, sí que es, con los pasos clásicos chico-chica-enamoran-rompen-renamoran (abreviando que es gerundio). Y casi casi acaba con "la escena del aeropuerto". Dicho lo cual también hay que destacar lo muy ameno que es, el buen retrato de la gente casi corriente, las grandes verdades que desliza con buen humor y las muchas escenas de comedia bien resueltas.

How We Are Hungry - Dave Eggers

A collection of short stories by the global thinking, original plotting, torrential writing and long titles loving David Eggers. These tales can take you up, up into the air or down down plunged into water or punch you in your very stomach (and cut your breathing). I have enjoyed them and will try soon one of his novels.
