365 días con la chica de Los Planetas
by Holden CentenoEn esta segunda parte de La chica de Los Planetas, Holden Centeno relata cómo ha reaccionado la chica a la publicación del libro, cómo ha evolucionado su relación, pero también habla de muchos otros temas fundamentales como el azar, la muerte la música o la literatura. «Tengo heridas en las manos de no tocarte y de escribirte tanto». Después de un año vuelvo para cerrar el círculo. 365 días, 8760 horas, muchos centenares de miles de minutos para contarte y solo unas cuántas páginas de papel. Tal vez sea imposible concentrar nuestra historia en unas hojas, pero es el único lugar en el que te encuentro siempre. Aquí está el punto y seguido que es también en nuestro caso el punto y final. La última gota de tinta que derramarán mis venas donde ahora me pregunto si realmente fuimos una gran casualidad, un azar inédito, está dentro de este libro. Ábrelo y después no hará falta que nos digamos nada. 365 días con la chica de Los Planetas es la cara B de la historia de Holden Centeno con la chica de Los Planetas. En estas páginas Holden vuelve a la transparencia narrativa de la primera parte de la historia y nos descubre paso a paso las emociones, sentimientos y vivencias que ha traído consigo la publicación de su historia de amor: el nacimiento del blog, la idea del libro, la publicación... Pero sobre todo cómo ella, a raíz de todo esto, ha vuelto a ser parte de su universo. O no. «La gente cree que me merezco estar con ella pero no tienen razón. Eso es una chorrada. Nadie se merece nada cuando estamos hablando de personas. El que lucha por alguien, el que ama sin condición, lo hace sin esperar nada a cambio, porque si haces todos esos actos creyéndote el mejor y con derecho a alguna cosa, vas por muy mal camino. Las personas no se merecen. Conectan y punto. Viven, luchan, se matan y vuelven a vivir porque son capaces de quitarse esas balas que se han disparado mutuamente. Todos hemos disparado alguna vez contra otra persona sin razón alguna y luego hemos sido capaces de entregar las armas y curar las heridas». La crítica dijo sobre La chica de Los Planetas...«Regresa el más desconocido -y exitoso- escritor veinteañero de la literatura española.»El Confidencial «Cuando la realidad se cruza con la literatura que se inspira en hechos reales ocurren cosas como las que le pasan a Holden Centeno.»El Periódico «En 365 días con la chica de Los Planetas aparece una declaración de intenciones sobre él y sobre sus gustos literarios.»Todoliteratura «El fenómeno literario que triunfa.»SModa, El País «A veces la literatura se alía con la realidad para superar a la propia realidad.»El Periódico de Catalunya «Holden Centeno, un misterioso autor que no ha necesitado más que enseñar sus entrañas para conquistar a un montón de chicos, y sobre todo de chicas, que ahora compran su primer libro, La chica de Los Planetas, como si fuera una biblia.»PlayGround «Relatos de amor y desamor, crudos pero llenos de esperanza, que parecen escritos por un beat millennial.»Carlos G. Miranda, El Huffington Post

37
by Maria BeaumontOn the eve of her thirty-seventh birthday, Fran Clark finds herself in a role she would never have envisioned: that of a surprisingly desperate housewife. As Fran halfheartedly attempts to relaunch her once-vibrant career as a voiceover artist and obsesses over keeping up with the ruthless mothers' scene at her children's school, she begins to realize that her thirty-seventh year isn't going to resemble the midlife bliss she had imagined. Instead, she makes excuses for the fact that she's depressed and drinking -- a lot. But when Fran realizes she has failed her children one too many times, and begins to suspect her husband is having an affair, she knows she has hit rock bottom. It is Fran's two closest friends who ultimately come to her rescue. She learns to thank them for her salvation -- not because they are there for her, but because she discovers how to be there for them. Literate and well written, 37 is a searingly intimate and compulsively readable novel, a very modern diary of a (not quite) mad housewife. Filled with acute, often bitingly funny observations about motherhood, friendship, and the claustrophobia of suburbia, this pitch-perfect novel will resonate with any woman who has ever been stricken with self-doubt. 37 is Maria Beaumont's third novel. After the mums from her kids' school have finished with her, it may be her last.

But when the ship is not allowed to dock in Havana as planned—and when she and her friend Wolfie discover a Nazi on board—Ruthie must take action. In the face of hopelessness, she and her fellow passengers refuse to give up on the chance for a new life.
