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
24 Girls in 7 Days
by Alex BradleyWhen Jack Grammar was little, his sisters used to dress up and pretend he was their prom date. Now it is two weeks until his senior prom, something he's looked forward to since those days of pretend, and he is dateless. But Natalie and Percy, his two best friends, have a solution. Unbeknownst to Jack, they post an ad in the school's online newspaper and the challenge is on. Who will be Jack Grammar's prom date? Amid much angst, hilarity, and plot twists, Jack dates and discards girl after girl until the fateful day when he must choose. Bradley captures the trials of many nice-guy teenage boys, who are insecure in today's high-school culture of dating and in need of an infusion of self-confidence. Jack and his friends are fully developed characters, full of promise and senioritis. Although the girls who court Jack border on stereotypes, the descriptive details are dead on. A satisfying dose of humor and reality in a "boy romance" that many readers may enjoy but are too embarrassed to request.
