Nine books of the week | Babelia
This week 'Babelia' gathers reviews of books by Reynaldo Sietecase, Aurora Egido, Nicolás Sartorius, Annie Le Brun, Alberto Chimal, Marta Carnicero, Esther García Llovet, Ezra Pound and Álvaro Valverde
Do not ask for anything
The reader of 'Do not ask for anything', by Reynaldo Sietecase, is witness to an uninterrupted political violence, as if the fall of the Argentine dictatorship had been only a fiction. Criticism ALBERTO MANGUEL
The manipulation of language
Nicolás Sartorius publishes two books in which he alternates the historical analysis with its own political memory. Criticism of ANTONIO ELORZA
Cantos
A new translation dares with that impregnable fortress that are the 'Cantos' of Ezra Pound. Criticism of EDGARDO DOBRY
The sky according to Google
Marta Carnicero's first novel, 'Heaven according to Google', in a few pages arms a tragedy about love whose remnant of excitement sticks to the end. Criticism of CARLOS PARDO
What is priceless
The poet and critic Annie Le Brun uncovers the degradation and ugliness promoted by artists-entrepreneurs, gallerists-scouts and art critics-curators-prescribers. Criticism of ÁNGELA MOLINA
The quarter of the sirocco
'El cuarto del sirocco' is a setting that serves Alvaro Valverde as a metaphor for poetry: a space that protects time and life, a refuge. Criticism of ANTONIO ORTEGA
For the pleasure of reading Cervantes
Aurora Egido's book brings together almost twenty studies that have appeared over the last few years about the work of the author of 'Quijote'. Criticism of JOSÉ ANTONIO MILLÁN
Hands of fire
The universe of the Mexican Alberto Chimal is in no man's land, between the hardest and most violent reality and that ability to enter the fantastic. Critique of JAVIER GOÑI
Sanchez
The narrative lucidity of Esther García Llovet is great. As much as that of his characters in the novel 'Sánchez'. Critique of J. ERNESTO AYALA-DIP
