Pureza
by Garth GreenwellCandidato a los premios Sade 2021, Joyce Carol Oates y Gordon Burn. Seleccionado como uno de los mejores libros del 2020 por elNew York Times e incluido en la lista de los diez mejores libros del año por los críticos del New York Times. Mejor libro del año según más de treinta publicaciones, incluidas The New Yorker, TIME, The Was hington Post, Entertainment Weekly, NPR y la BBC. Garth Greenwell regresa al protagonista y al entorno de su célebre debut, Lo que te pertenece, para seguir explorando cómo nos definen el sexo, el erotismo y el deseo. En la ciudad de Sofía se respiran los agitados aires de una democracia apenas estrenada. Por sus calles desfilan jóvenes estudiantes con canciones y proclamas a la conquista de nuevas libertades, mientras los viejos edificios socialistas se deterioran lentamente. En medio de esta atmósfera efervescente, Garth Greenwell da voz a un profesor estadounidense que ha logrado hacer de Bulgaria su hogar. Al principio de la novela nuestro protagonista acaba de separarse de R., el único hombre al que ha amado con un sentimiento de pureza que ni siquiera creía posible. En esta nueva etapa de su vida, una serie de encuentros con estudiantes, otros escritores como él o amantes esporádicos ponen de manifiesto nuevas formas de intimidad, poder y deseo que le enfrentarán a sus cicatrices. La aclamada segunda novela de Greenwell podría leerse como un libro de relatos o como una delicada sinfonía en tres movimientos. Con su habitual prosa sensual y detallada, Greenwell consigue plasmar sobre el papel los extraños dialectos del erotismo y el deseo en un texto de una fuerza extraordinaria, afianzando su posición como uno de los escritores que mejor indagan en los complejos resortes de la naturaleza humana. La crítica ha dicho...«Pureza es un libro impresionante: conmovedor, radical, a la vez bello y violento, inesperado. Garth Greenwell es un autor fundamental, y su escritura nos proporciona herramientas para reafirmarnos, para existir: para luchar.»Édouard Louis «Greenwell puede ser el mejor escritor de sexo en activo. Es, en efecto, el más estimulante… Si se imagina el libro como un cuerpo, pureza —sin ningún tipo de pudor al trasladar la pasión sexual a sus páginas— es lo que logra en sus refrescantes representaciones. En un pasaje brillante, Greenwell incluso redime el propio lenguaje pornográfico… una gloriosa, afirmativa visión.»TLS, Michael LaPointe «Incandescente… el modo de escribir sobre sexo de Greenwelll es abrasador. Coja sus novelas con guantes de amianto y déjelas sobre salvamanteles para proteger su mesa de posibles daños por causados por el calor. Greenwell tiene un don extraordinario, un don que no abunda.»The New York Times Book Review, Dwight Garner «Extraordinario. El efecto global es todavía más impresionante, si cabe, que en Lo que te pertenece. El alcance de estas historias es parte de su éxito y parte de lo que hace que su dolor existencial sea tan intenso… Incomparablemente agridulce. Brillante.»The Washington Post, Ron Charles «Del mismo modo que otros autores estadounidenses masculinos, como Hemingway, Baldwin o Edmund White, eligieron París como lugar en el que su único protagonista puede ser puesto a prueba y metamorfosearse, Greenwell usa Sofía, la capital de Bulgaria, de caldero [...] La escritura sobre sexo alcanza una profundidad de precisión inusual, tanto sobre la actividad física como sobre el trasfondo emocional [...] Greenwell explora muy a fondo cómo son el miedo, la soledad y la clandestinidad
Purgatorio
by Tomás Eloy Martínez«Tomás Eloy Martínez afirma su lugar entre los mejores escritores de América Latina.» The New York Times En el invierno de 1976 Simón Cardoso es detenido por los militares que impusieron una dictadura sangrienta en Argentina, y nunca más aparece. Treinta años después, su mujer Emilia Dupuy, se paraliza al oír su voz en una fonda de suburbio en New Jersey. El mundo, que se había desmoronado con la tragedia, recobra su luz. A partir de ese enigma, Purgatorio enlaza la ansiedad del amor perdido y recuperado con una reconstrucción magistral de la irrealidad siniestra creada por el régimen. Tomás Eloy Martínez vivió en el exilio y escribió este relato conmovedor e inolvidable en busca de la memoria que no pudo tener. Con maestría avanza sobre la débil línea entre verdad e ilusión, y expande la novela más allá de los límites del género. Un lenguaje sobrio al servicio de una historia tan extraña como intensamente real da como resultado la mejor obra de un autor señalado como clásico por la crítica internacional.
