Surface
by Christos Rodoulla Tsiailis
My book is a science fiction story, involving time travel, mystery and love. The story is about Jordan Dabolmort and Roxanne Fell, two lovers, members of the Roman Lodge. Secret enemies, known only to Dabolmort want them apart. Therefore, he sends her away with a letter, giving her a new date to meet after fifty years. She does not understand until he gives her the elixir of life, Klotho, to drink. When they meet in a modern, completely changed Athens in 2046, together they fight against their enemies, until they start fighting each other. Sending her back in time may be his and her remedy. Regrets, deaths and rebirths decorate the mystery around the solvent of ‘Klotho’. All Dabolmort’s chosen ones gather in a clinic at the last chapters, until they create the new Masonic Order, the ‘Omniconstants’.

Science fictionPsique La sombra del espíritu
by Iván R. Sánchez
Grace has been told what to do during her whole life. Her mother has dragged her from one place to another through life without any consideration for her. No one understands her and she lives constantly bored. In a twist of fate, she arrives in a big city. There she discovers friendship, love, but also who she is. Her father, who disappeared since she was very young, left her some letters to be handed out after her fifteenth birthday. Now, close to being sixteen, not only will she painfully discover what it means to grow older, but also what lies inside her. The horror will appear in her life with each day before that celebration. A spiral of events unleashed by the shadow of the spirit that promised her that from there on, nothing would be the same. This story, from the PSIQUE universe, tells the vicissitudes of a teenager tormented by a specter: her father. Enclosed by maternal protections. Subjected to the banality of a world she does not want to belong to. It is a reflection on life, freedom and family, within a background in which there are mysterious deaths and in which people are much more than they appear to be. A world where the mind can reach and overcome any limit.

June 2020Echoes Chambers
Novel
by Iris Hanika
Iris Hanika was awarded the Leipzig Book Fair Prize 2021 for her novel Echoes Chambers. The jury's statement:»Iris Hanika proves to be a clever, witty and wild narrator. As one of the most headstrong voices in contemporary German literature, who can look at social conditions with a brutally clear and unabashed view. And then again incredibly funny.« In Echoes Chambers, Iris Hanika impressively demonstrates her skills as artful, ingenious storyteller. We are travelling to New York to accompany the poet Sophonisbe. She follows an invitation to come to the »City of Dreams« for ten weeks before returning to Berlin, where Roxana, the novel’s second protagonist and a successful writer of self-help books, takes over. The two women get caught up in various incidents, excesses and digressions, including with a young bourgeois who gives the story another sharp twist. Nevertheless, this book does not just speak of mature delusional love – it is also about Echo and Narcissus. The intricately woven episodes are brimming with a boisterous thirst for knowledge, a good dose of life’s reality and merciless criticism of capitalism. Echoes Chambers, a travel as well as a romance novel, but also an action novel and self-help book, provides for great literary joy.

FictionPermagel/Permafrost
by Eva Baltasar
Published in Catalan (Club Editor). Shortlisted for the Médicis Étranger Award 2020 (France). Rights sold: World English (And Other Stories), French (Verdier), Spanish (Literatura Random House), Italian (Nottetempo), Portuguese/Portugal (Confluencias), Galician (Kalandraka). The #1 Catalan bestseller and winner of the Llibreter booksellers prize, poet Baltasar’s debut novel is a forthright study of lesbian sexuality and suicide. Permafrost’s no-bullshit lesbian narrator is an uninhibited lover and a wickedly funny observer of modern life. Desperate to get out of Barcelona, she goes to Brussels, ‘because a city whose symbol is a little boy pissing was a city I knew I would like’; as an au pair in Scotland, she develops a hatred of the colour green. And everywhere she goes, she tries to break out of the roles set for her by family and society, chasing escape wherever it can be found: love affairs, travel, thoughts of suicide. Full of powerful, physical imagery, this prize-winning debut novel by acclaimed Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own language. It is a breathtakingly forthright call for women’s freedom to embrace both pleasure and solitude, and speaks of the body, of sex, and of the self.

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.
