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

The tragicomic novel of the summer, a 'dark and insane gem' from the author of the critically acclaimed TikTok sensation Bunny 'A dazzling wild ride of a novel - daring, fresh, entertaining, and magical.' - George Saunders 'All's Well is an utterly delicious novel of pain and vitality, Shakespeare and the uncanny.' - Lauren Groff Miranda Fitch's life is a waking nightmare. The accident that ended her burgeoning acting career left her with excruciating, chronic back pain, a failed marriage, and a deepening dependence on painkillers. And now she's on the verge of losing her job as a college theater director.Determined to put on Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well, the play that promised, and cost, her everything, she faces a mutinous cast hellbent on staging Macbeth instead. Miranda sees her chance at redemption slip through her fingers. That's when she meets three strange benefactors who have an eerie knowledge of Miranda's past and a tantalizing promise for her future: one where the show goes on, her rebellious students get what's coming to them, and the invisible, doubted pain that's kept her from the spotlight is made known.With prose Margaret Atwood has described as 'no punches pulled, no hilarities dodged... genius', Mona Awad has concocted her most potent, subversive novel yet. All's Well is the story of a woman at her breaking point and a formidable, piercingly funny indictment of our collective refusal to witness and believe female pain.Longlisted for the 2023 Dublin Literary Award.

Martin Heidegger i Hannah Arendt es van coneixer el 1925 a la Universitat de Marburg. Ell era professor i ella, la seva alumna. Ell estava casat i ella era soltera. Ella tenia divuit anys i ell, trenta-cinc. Aixi comença Amor sense mon, l'extraordinaria novel·la de Miquel Esteve sobre la relacio que van mantenir fins al final de les seves vides malgrat tots els obstacles. Amor sense mon narra de manera trepidant i, alhora, amb una extrema delicadesa, el tumultuos idil·li entre dues de les grans figures de la filosofia i el pensament europeu. Com poden estimar-se una sensible intel·lectual jueva i un professor de maxim prestigi que va militar al partit de Hitler? Marcada sempre per una angoixant tensio, la relacio entre Arendt i Heidegger evoluciona de manera tempestuosa i es converteix en un exemple d'amor espiritual i filosofic que va mes enlla de vincles terrenals: amor sense mon. Miquel Esteve ha aconseguit plasmar una de les histories d'amor mes increibles, contradictories i apassionades de l'ultim segle, encara avui sorprenentment oblidada, que avança amb el telo de fons d'uns episodis crucials que marcaran per sempre l'esdevenir de la humanitat. Una lectura ideal per a endinsar-se en la vida i lobra de dos intel·lectuals claus per a entendre el mon contemporani.
