24 fotos
by Andrea FerrariDos amigas repasan su vida en 24 fotos, que se fueron sacando a lo largo de cincuenta años de amistad. «Además, hay que desconfiar constantemente de la memoria. Al final los recuerdos siempre tienen algo de invento. ¿O no?» ¿Cómo se registran las huellas que deja otra persona a lo largo de una vida? ¿Qué se convierte en recuerdo y qué se desecha? Aquí aparecen veinticuatro momentos, fotos que congelan por un instante la relación entre Vera y Cecilia, que arranca en una plaza de barrio cuando solo tienen tres años. Enmarcadas por los hechos que agitan al país durante varias décadas -la sombra de Malvinas y la dictadura, las crisis económicas, los cambios culturales-, estas escenas hablan de los claroscuros de la amistad. Desde los juegos de la infancia, las complicidades y los celos a las primeras experiencias amorosas, las parejas, los hijos, las pérdidas, las peleas y los reencuentros. Hay un secreto familiar que se persigue. Una madre que silencia. A través de esos instantes detenidos, la autora logra que el lector pueda ver, literalmente, a estas dos mujeres que comparten la vida durante cincuenta años. 24 fotos es una novela emocionante y de lectura ágil, que consagra a Andrea Ferrari como una escritora para amantes de la literatura de todas las edades. La crítica dijo... «Esa es, precisamente, la virtud de los libros de Andrea Ferrari: trabajan desde las zonas oscuras, ruinosas, complicadas de la vida e, incluso desde ahí, puede construir algo de luz... aunque no siempre. ¿Qué otra cosa es un buen libro?»Débora Campos, Clarín Sobre El camino de Sherlock: «Galardonada en España con el Premio Jaén de Narrativa Juvenil, Ferrari construye una trama aceitadísima y muy bien dosificada.»Silvina Firera, Página/12 «Logran armonizar el lenguaje cotidiano y el literario, se enraízan en la tradición literaria y construyen personajes memorables. Es el caso de esta novela.»Gustavo Puerta, "El Cultural", El Mundo (España) «Una novela para devorar (por el enigma, el suspenso, la destreza con la que se construye la acción textual), pero también para degustar, para releer, para volver atrás, para leer levantando la mirada, como diría Barthes.»Carola Hermida, Jitanjáfora «Sería bueno, tal vez, postular algo así como "literatura para seguir leyendo" o "para futuros lectores mayores y de por vida". Una tradición en la que María Elena Walsh sabe hacer las cosas, respetando a su público, ofreciéndole alternativas, artificios y metáforas. La misma tradición en la que Andrea Ferrari podría ya estampar su firma.»Laura Isola, Radar, sobre El complot de Las Flores «Su literatura rompe con estereotipos o arquetipos establecidos.»Sandra Comino, Radar

22 Things a Woman Must Know If She Loves a Man with Asperger's Syndrome
by Maxine Aston Rudy SimoneAlthough having Asperger Syndrome (AS) can make romantic relations difficult, having a fulfilling relationship with an Asperger man is certainly not impossible. A woman in love with a man with AS may interpret his difficulties with communication and socialization as a lack of interest in the relationship. He may vacillate between being gentle and caring to seeming cold and distant. She may find his behaviour hard to understand, resulting in feelings of loneliness, isolation, and confusion. This book shows how to overcome these difficulties and maintain a loving relationship with an AS partner. From an unwillingness to show affection in public or even sleep in the same bed to problems holding down a job, this book looks at 22 common traits that women may discover when they are dating, living with or married to a man with Asperger's Syndrome. Rudy Simone explores the complications of Asperger's relationships with honesty and understanding, drawing on research and personal experience to inform and advise women with AS partners. She offers helpful tips for improving the relationship and finding fulfillment both individually and as a couple. This book will help women to understand the male Asperger's mind and, equally, it can help men with AS to see things from their partner's perspective. It will also be of interest to counsellors working with couples where the male partner has Asperger's Syndrome.
