The temptation to recreate a fictitious and beginningless past.

That is what

Las tempestálidas

is based on , the book by the Bulgarian Gueorgui Gospodinov, which narrates how the creation of clinics to produce the past that, as a "refuge", alleviate the effects of Alzheimer's and senile dementia, gives way to a world in the one that the countries are the ones that, in their capacity as patients of history, want to recreate what have supposedly been their best moments.

In another reviewed book, Irene, a widow, is an angel of love.

And she expresses herself through the picturesque ritual of sleeping with strangers to reach, at the moment of orgasm, the celestial vision of Marce, her late husband.

The latest book by Manuel Vilas,

Nosotros

, starts out as a perfect novel to extol immaculate and eternal love, but ends up questioning it.

Another notable title is

El sótano

, the posthumous novel by the Asturian writer Begoña Huertas, who died last November.

It is a beautiful exercise in drawing strength and courage from where they no longer exist, and in which he talks about his illness, his body, and if it makes sense to "dedicate efforts to writing a novel with a sordid and criminal medical plot." .

In addition, Babelia

's critics

have reviewed the collections of poems

Deseo de ser árbol

, by Ángelo Néstore, and

Corpórea.

Poetry 2010-2022

, by Marta Sanz;

the fiction that passed for a reality that

Marbot recounts.

A Biography

, by Wolfgang Hildesheimer;

the essay

A kidnapped West

, by Milan Kundera;

and Ideas Notebook, by HP Lovecraft, a book with brief notes, drawings and ideas that served the American writer to develop his fictions.
