Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont - Elizabeth Taylor

Said to be Taylor's finest novel and it deals with old age back in the late 1960s in some particularly British circumstances. As raw as life itself, yet humorous and charitable. It was also the last novel she wrote.

Diario de K. - Karmelo C. Iribarren

La lluvia, los trenes y las mujeres son las principales obsesiones de este escritor con vocación de poeta maldito. El libro consta, sobre todo, de aforismos. Uno que me ha gustado especialmente es este: "Los trenes, de noche, mueven la melancolía por el mundo". No sé qué significa la C.

Jenisjoplin - Uxue Alberdi

Giro jakin batelo belaunaldi baten eleberria. Idazlearen belaunaldia, suposatzen dut. Gogorra, protagonistaren bizitza; eta baita irakurketa gogorra, etikaren aldetik, irakurle honentzat ere. Eskerrak amaiera lasaigarria den.

Los viernes, tomo 1 - Juan Forn

Primera recopilación de los artículos semanales que publicó Forn en la contratapa (última página) del diario argentino Página/12. Son, sobre todo, pequeñas, brillantes y muy literarias historias de escritores.

The Magician's Nephew - C.S. Lewis

The sixth of the seven novels of "The Chronicles of Narnia", which is actually a prequel and explains the origins of the world of Narnia. The writing is fluid, enjoyable, and, dare I say, British. It's been a surprise to see the similarity between the creation of Narnia and that of Genesis in the Bible.

Zinea eta literatura: begiaren ajeak - Harkaitz Cano

2008an argitaratutako saiakera, gaur ere irakurtzeko interesgarria. Ahaideak omen dira zinema eta literatura baina ez hurbilegilak. Begi zorrotzez, autoreak batak eta besteak denboran zehar izan duten garapena aztertzen du. 

The Light of the World. A Memoir - Elizabeth Alexander

Alexander is a poet and his late husband Ficre, was a chef and artist who passed away suddenly at the age of fifty. So, this is the author's tribute to him, telling us their love story and subsequent grief in poignant words.

Estrella distante - Roberto Bolaño

Evocador título el de esta novela basada en hechos reales de la vida de Bolaño. Su alter ego Arturo Belano habla de poesía, la dictadura en Chile y el exilio en Europa con la excusa de un misterioso personaje llamado Carlos Wieder.

Familiar Spirits - Alison Lurie

Lurie was a lifelong friend of poet James Merrill and his partner, fellow artist, David Jackson. This is a quite charming biography of the two which includes a not-so-charming account of their murky dependance on the Ouija board.
