L'escriptor i artista plàstic Ricard Creus (Barcelona, 1928) no ha escrit mai cap ratlla sense la clara consciència de l'existència de l'altre, fins i tot en els poemes més pretesament personals. Per aq

La fotògrafa Valentina Morera té gent a sopar. Una trucada del Rat, un incòmode espectre dels anys setanta, esdevingut un politicastre que entra i surt dels jutjats per corrupció, ha fet que ressorgissin moltes coses. I avui Valentina el rebrà a casa, amb altres vells amics amb qui també fa temps que s'han deixat de veure. Hi seran la preciosa fugitiva basca, la buròcrata autonòmica, el dibuixant àcid i famós. Els fantasmes protectors de la llar de Valentina, Fluxus i la senyora Cogito, preparen el terreny. No parlis de mi quan me'n vagi explica aquesta història, però és molt més que aquesta història: una novel·la irònica i colpidora, que s'estructura en variacions i fugues, i en què la veu narradora es va fent plural, acompanyada de cançons, mentre trena passat i present.

As a young woman living in the wondrous city of New York, Inez Champlain has always aspired to be like Carrie from Sex and the City, sans the tulle skirts and poor financial decisions, of course. Inez has it all: great friends, her dream job as a notable beauty writer, a studio loft on the Upper East Side, and no messy romantic drama to get in the way. But life takes a surprising turn when Inez catches the eye of the charming and handsome Jason Parkson, who fearlessly introduces himself the moment he sees her. Romance is the last thing on Inez?s mind, but there is something about Jason she can?t resist, and before long she?s hooked?that is, until she?s introduced to his brother, Jimmy, and the two share an instant connection she can?t quite understand. Inez wants to get along with Jimmy, but there?s no denying the feelings growing between them. Her mind and heart are at odds?will she stay with the man she thinks she loves, or surrender to a more precarious yet alluring fate? When Inez is pulled away from New York, the balance of her life shifts yet again. Soon she is caught in a web of confusion and hearta

Aquesta és la historia d'un home que només espera poder gaudir de la jubilació. Amb seixanta-un anys, anhela disposar de prou temps per llegir novel"les històriques, escoltar una mica de jazz i tenir cura del jardí. George Hall és un home discret. Potser una mica distant, potser una mica massa recelós a l'hora de mostrar afecte. Però passen massa coses al seu voltant com perquè l'anhel es faci realitat. La filla, Katie, anuncia que es torna a casar amb un home que no agrada a cap membre de la família. «Té mans d'estrangulador», sentencia el germà de la Katie. La mare s'ha buscat un amant... Al marge de les disputes familiars, George Hall descobreix que té al maluc una malura que li fa témer el pitjor. La nova vida tan desitjada sembla ensorrar-se del tot juntament amb la seva salut. Però conseqüent amb el seu tarannà, George mirarà de ser un malalt, abans que res, educat. Després de l'èxit, tant de públic com de crítica, d'El curiós incident del gos a mitjanit, Haddon es fixa ara, a estones amb humor, a estones amb un punt d'amargor, en la bogeria que pot comportar la vida domèstica.

He descubierto mucho. Y hasta ahora no me ha traído nada bueno. Quizás más error fue comenzar a investigar. Ahora mismo estoy en compañía de un esclavo enorme, un enano deslenguado y una cría de dragón. Estamos perdidos, sin rumbo, en una ciudad que no conocemos y delante del cadáver de Rodek Maulo. Para colmo de males, nos persiguen. Prueba feaciente de que estamos bloqueados es que me he puesto a escribir un estúpido diario. Quizás, la respuesta a todo resida en Mely. Una muchacha tan bella como misteriosa que parece ser la pieza que completa este extraño puzle Sin embargo, dicen que cuando el amor puede más que la razón hasta la mente más fría termina cayendo y juega con el diablo.
