Aire
by Mariano Moreno CasqueteEl recuerdo es un impostor que nos desafía desde el otro lado del espejo. El poemario Aire se compone de cuatro partes: el ruido del tiempo, viento, destiempo y soñado perdido y ajeno. La ausencia del amor, una ausencia que no es solo recuerdo, también es niebla o aire que no se desvanece del todo. Un fantasma, una realidad a destiempo, un espejismo... No es posible encontrar ningún espejo que refleje el humo, y el recuerdo se ha convertido en humo, en un impostor que nos observa y nos desafía desde el otro lado del espejo, porque uno es ya otro cuando recuerda.
Aire Nuestro
by Manuel VilasImaginación desbordante, juego, sarcasmo y humor en una novela que mezcla géneros, personajes y tiempos. Aire Nuestro es una novela y es también la mejor cadena de la nueva televisión española independiente. En sus once canales caben desde reportajes, entrevistas del futuro y magazines, hasta cine X y la Teletienda. Allen Ginsberg y José Lezama Lima cogidos de la mano por el Purgatorio; Johnny Cash recorre España en un Dodge rojo; Sergio Leone hace sus descargas desde el Más Allá contra los directores y actores que menospreciaron sus spaghetti-westerns... También Lou Reed, Elvis Presley, Luis Cernuda o el propio Vilas, entre otros, desfilan por esta televisión hiperrealista. Un universo particular cargado de historias sorprendentes, de humor y de personajes que se encuentran y desencuentran en esa extraordinaria dimensión que la literatura alcanza sólo cuando destruye las formas y sus propios márgenes. Una ficción mutante en la que el lector asiste a la consolidación narrativa de un autor arriesgado y original: Manuel Vilas. Reseñas:«Un estilo antirrealista, que juega con las estructuras narrativas y la mutación de la identidad.»Jon Kortázar, Babelia «Manuel Vilas sorprende con una renovadora visión crítica de la sociedad española.»J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia «Vilas propone un reto fantástico: vivir la lectura como una experiencia excitante y divertida.»Flavia Company, El Periódico de Catalunya «En el país mutante de Vilas, la cultura popular y la erudición académica devienen pintorescos compañeros de cama, de nombre y apellidos.»Sergi Doria, ABCD «En ningún momento deja de ser la de Vilas una voz desconcertante y singular.»Vicente Luis Mora, Quimera «Manuel Vilas cuaja, en definitiva, una obra en las antípodas del aburrimiento o de la indiferencia.»Javier Moreno, Deriva

Airezko emakumeak
by Felipe Juaristi EreinVidalek ez zuen ihes egin alemanak, gerran, Odessa hiriko atariraino iritsi zirenean.

Trenak abiadura hartu eta atzean utzi zuen hiria, eta gauez lautadan barrena zihoalarik, Sara Vidal, biolina kutxatik atera eta, joka hasi zen Scriabinen Gauekoa. Gauak are gehiago gautu zuen.

Airmail: The Letters of Robert Bly and Tomas Transtromer
by Robert Bly Tomas TranstromerThe illuminating letters of the National Book Award winning poet Robert Bly and the Nobel Prize winning poet Tomas TranströmerOne day in spring 1964, the young American poet Robert Bly left his rural farmhouse and drove 150 miles to the University of Minnesota library in Minneapolis to obtain the latest book by the young Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer. When Bly returned home that evening with a copy of Tranströmer's The Half-Finished Heaven, he found a letter waiting for him from its author.With this remarkable coincidence as its beginning, what followed was a vibrant correspondence between two poets who would become essential contributors to global literature. Airmail collects more than 290 letters, written from 1964 until 1990, when Tranströmer suffered a stroke that has left him partially paralyzed and diminished his capacity to write. Across their correspondence, the two poets are profoundly engaged with each other and with the larger world: the Vietnam War, European and American elections, and the struggles of affording a life as a writer. Airmail also illuminates the work of translation as Bly began to render Tranströmer's poetry into English and Tranströmer began to translate Bly's poetry into Swedish. Their collaboration quickly turned into a friendship that has lasted fifty years.Insightful, brilliant, and often funny, Airmail provides a rare portrait of two artists who have become integral to each other's particular genius. This publication marks the first time letters by Bly and Tranströmer have been made available in the United States.
