Quan un ésser estimat desapareix de la nostra vida, com conciliar la necessitat d'oblidar amb el fort desig de no fer-ho mai? Com conjugar el record i l'oblit de la millor manera possible? Què és el que fa durar, sovint incompresiblement, l'amor en una parella? Són les preguntes que es fa una dona de 43 anys al llarg d'aquestes pàgines i alhora, amb humor i vitalitat, fa un repàs a la singular personalitat de l'home amb qui va conviure durant setze anys, les anècdotes que van envoltar la seva relació, els viatges, l'adopció de la seva filla, la complicitat intel·lectual que es va crear entre tots dos... Una novel·la que és un singular tractat del dol, i un intent de reconstruir la presència de l'esser desaparegut a base de paraules i humor, les úniques armes que poden guanyar la partida a la mort.

Roger Genestar viu a Menorca en un temps en què els pirates turcs i barbarescs saquegen ports i vaixells i amenacen totes les costes de la Mediterrània. Ell, però, és molt jove i un hàbil caçador ocells. La seva vida consisteix simplement a caçar i a no ser caçat. Un dia, però, l'amor per una esclava l'atrapa en una font. Embruixat, travessarà mars i terres, horitzó enllà, per trobar-la. La recerca el duu fins a Istanbul, al palau del temut i arrogant Hayr al-Din, conegut arreu com a Barba-rossa, «el rei del mal». Quan, anys després d'haver-ne marxat, torni a Menorca, Roger Genestar serà una altra persona. Ha viatjat, ha vist. Ara té terres. Però, malgrat tot, l'amor encara l'empeny a desafiar el seu destí. Barba-rossa és una novel·la intensíssima, exòtica i d'un profund lirisme.

"Vaig néixer culer i moriré culer. No hi ha res comparable a vestir-se amb la samarreta blaugrana. Acabo de fer l'última roda de premsa com a jugador del Barça i tinc una sensació ben estranya: de felicitat i nostàlgia, tot alhora. Sé que no tenia altre remei que marxar per trobar la felicitat. Si no era feliç al futbol no ho podia ser a la vida. El futur encara s'ha d'escriure, però dotze anys després d'haver arribat al Barça, ara que estic a punt de pujar a l'avió que em porta a Roma, una pila de records se m'amunteguen i em ve al cap una pregunta: com he arribat fins aquí?"

Carla Flores, a homeless ex-cop, is living her nightmares. Her mind - a juxtaposition of real life, night terrors, and cocaine - leaves her isolated on the streets of Albuquerque. She constantly struggles to rid herself of the memories overlaying her waking hours: a traumatic shootout, being overpowered and taken hostage while her partner lay dying. The dangers of the long nights seem ready to swallow her completely until she is found by an unlikely companion - a stray dog named Rivet. Carla's only salvation in a city that has forgotten her walks on four feet - a life line out of the darkness and into the light.
