Habilidosa novela que se adelanta a su tiempo. La narradora es la misma escritora que rememora sus propias experiencias familiares al hilo de una visita misteriosa inspirada por un grabado de Lutero conferenciando con el diablo.

The Professor of Desire - Philip Roth
David Kepesh, that is, Philip Roth himself, is the professor, and "desire" is the main theme of the novel. He was in his forties at the time and tells us about his experiences and his thoughts, up to that age, on the matter with his usual irony and wit.

Conversación - Gonzalo Hidalgo Bayal
Cinco historias que son en realidad monólogos. En todas se reconoce el peculiar mundo del autor, su formación de filólogo y su vida alejada de los focos. La última, un homenaje a Kafka, sospecho, me ha costado digerirla.

Knife - Salman Rushdie
Meditations after an attempted murder is the meaningful subtitle. What the fatwa didn't achieve this frustrated attempt has got. That is to say: people's sympathy towards Rushdie. Here he narrates in a very understandable way the attack and its consequences and his thoughts about it all. My support for him even if he gets a little cheesy in the romantic quarter.

33 ezkil - Miren Gorrotxategi Azkune
Filma egin zuten gero, baina, nik uste, liburuak pelikulak ez daukan xarma du. Izan ere Karmen amak eta Nestor semeak ikutu maitagarria erakusten dute eleberrian. Baita Bertak ere. Bestaldetik trama kriminala entretenigarria da, nahiz eta ez ditudan xehetasunak erabat ulertu.
