Seleço de versos nascidos entre 1998 e 2022, soletrados principalmente em noites cujas imperfeiçes, em meio a escurido, conseguiram se camuflar com duvidosa eficiencia e nas quais as rimas se conheceram aos tropeços, impunes e desavergonhadas. E fato que algumas tardes intrometidas colaboraram; guardanapos rascunhados em mesinhas de bar com o velho papo de sempre: tempo, saudade, paixo, amor, todos esses elementos com os quais os versos costumam sonhar. E aos quais nos, pobres criaturas sentimentais, nos submetemos com indevida, mas necessaria, intensidade como se no houvesse amanh.

A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form, deft and humorous in its use of the Scots language, courageous in its characterisation and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie, one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset song, Gibbons finest achievement, the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons, the weddings, the funerals, the grind of work, the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll, machines repalce the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. The triology as a whole is a major achievment, a picture of society undergoing traumatic and far-reaching transformation. Always readable, never sentimental, A Scots Quair is one of the most important works of Scottish literature.

Si pudieras viajar en el tiempo, ¿qué momento de tu pasado cambiarías? Una original y conmovedora novela sobre un padre dispuesto a renunciar a todo para recuperar lo que más quiereTeresa cumple años dos veces cada año: una con mama y otra con papa; una en Madrid y otra en Benidorm. Cosas de tener padres divorciados. En Madrid siempre es lo pasa mejor, con sus amigas del colegio, pero este año en Benidorm le espera una sorpresa: su padre, Daniel, la llevara a bucear. Y ese dia en la Cala de los Amarillos, con Teresa sonriendo en el agua, pasara algo que lo cambiara todo. En Abril o nunca acompañamos a Daniel tras ese dia clave, y recorremos con el una crisis de los cuarenta marcada por la culpa, la posibilidad de un nuevo amor, la amistad en la madurez, la noche hortera de Benidorm, los foros de internet y sus teorias conspiranoicas y, una y otra vez, ese dia en la Cala de los Amarillos que vuelve como una obsesion: la de viajar en el tiempo para cambiar el pasado.
