FINALISTA DEL BOOKER PRIZEPREMI OMNIUMPREMI LLIBRETERPermagel, Boulder i Mamut per fi juntes i en tapa dura. No per res les heroines de Baltasar sexpressen en primera persona sense que en sapiguem el nom, i des duna situacio vital que les agafa desprevingudes. ¿Que son? ¿Germanes? ¿Avatars? ¿Formes de vida?A Permagel una jove suicida viu sense treballar ni relacionar-se amb ningu mes que amb les seves amants, fins que un parell de criatures li cauen del cel. A Boulder una ionqui de la solitud fa de cuinera en un vaixell, fins que senamora duna islandesa i accepta de fundar-hi familia. A Mamut una sociologa barcelonina ho planta tot, pis i feina, per anar-sen a viure en un mas de muntanya, alla on la vida son les besties, i procrear. Una critica francesa publicava a proposit del Triptic: La narradora sembla la mateixa en les tres novel·les, un simple jo sense nom. ¿Podria ser que Eva Baltasar hagues volgut mostrar que una mateixa pregunta pot tenir tres respostes diferents, fins i tot contradictories? Com qui diu: aqui teniu una solucio al problema, aqui una altra i encara una altra, a veure quina escolliu! Lautora juga ironicament amb la credulitat del lector, sempre disposat a empassar-se les aventures que ella sinventa per incomodar-lo i fer-lo dubtar i riures de les seves certeses.El llenguatge del desig no deixa de vibrar mai a la pagina; Baltasar extreu or de les situacions quotidianes i lofereix en forma de bocins d'intimitat, que atrapen i sadollen.Greg Mania sobre Boulder a The New York TimesBaltasar convoca lerotisme juganer de les paraules i la lectura.Yara Rodrigues Fowler sobre Boulder a The GuardianLa Baltasar desmunta el secret no del genere sino del patriarcat: desmunta la subordinacio i la subalternitat.Brigitte Vasallo sobre Mamut al Diari Ara"Exquisita, oscura y poco convencional, Eva Baltasar convierte la intimidad en una aventura salvaje" Fernanda MelchorEs una escritora durisima y muy original. Me encantaria adaptar Boulder" Pedro AlmodovarQuan cada llibre daquesta trilogia contradiu tan clarament els altres, es lescriptora qui sallibera de tota doctrina creativa i sevadeix del calabos literari. Es aqui que retroba el seu plaer primitiu, inicial, o mes aviat essencial: la seva identitat de poeta, mestressa de les ambiguitats, dels oximorons i de les polisemies." Collateral

Cinco anos despois de ser nai, a protagonista desta novela atópase inesperadamente na disxuntiva de decidir se quere volver selo ou non. O recordo doloroso do primeiro ano de crianza do seu fillo devolvelle un reflexo da experiencia que non resulta doado encaixar, atravesado pola culpa e o arrepentimento. Desde o relato das derradeiras semanas do ano, onde as reunions familiares se mesturan con acontecementos repentinos, a narradora falanos da familia e da parella, dos lazos que non se escollen, pero tamen do loito, da amizade e da capacidade da literatura para recoller aquilo ao que nos custa poñerlle nome. Berta Davila configura en Os seres queridos, Premio Xerais de Novela 2021, un autorretrato incomodo sobre o que significa o amor maternal, unha historia que afonda nas arestas controvertidas da maternidade e confronta o relato edulcorado. Pero, por enriba de todo, a autora construe unha novela sobre os vinculos que nos atrapan e nos sosteñen, sobre se iso que somos e tamen o que queremos ser.

Based on the available information and the data hitherto collected, my hypothesis is that the further I stay away from love, the better off I will be. 'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners*When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D.candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope. What the five star reviews are saying about The Love Hypothesis:'Did I read this in 24 hours? Yes.''Funny. Snarky.Intelligent. Real.''If you're even slightly thinking about getting this book to read, just go a head and do it''Adam is just *swoon*''Ali Hazelwood has made herself an auto-buy author''It was just... perfect.''A heroine you will instantly fall in love with'

Oliver Marks has just served ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends - a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he''s released, he''s greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened ten years ago. As a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off - villain, hero, tyrant, temptress - though Oliver felt doomed to always be a secondary character in someone else''s story. But when the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life. When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.
