Aquí encontramos al Jon Bilbao más crudo y eléctrico. Las tres primeras colecciones de cuentos que Bilbao publicó antes de llegar a Impedimenta, reunidas por primera vez en un solo volumen. La piedra fundacional de una de las voces mas poderosas de la narrativa breve en español.Antes del volcan es el mapa subterraneo de una erupcion. En estos relatos extraidos de tres libros ya miticos y largamente inencontrables: Como una historia de terror, Bajo el influjo del cometa y Fisica familiar, a los que se añaden tres relatos ineditos en forma de bonus tracks Jon Bilbao explora el momento en que lo cotidiano se resquebraja y deja entrever una fisura. Una mujer sueña que su casa es tomada por ardillas. Un padre teme la arquitectura mental de su hijo. Un cometa altera el ritmo de un pueblo costero. Una pareja de mirones observa como sus vecinos rezan cada noche la Biblia. Y siempre, por debajo, subyace el temblor de lo desconocido: la amenaza larvada, la violencia que acecha bajo lo visible, el extrañamiento que asedia lo domestico. Publicados por primera vez en un solo volumen, Antes del volcan reune los cuentos con los que Jon Bilbao redefinio la narrativa breve española contemporanea.Historias que basculan entre la tension invisible y la grieta emocional, la amenaza natural y el delirio intimo, lo gotico y lo cotidiano. Relatos que, como lava detenida, conservan intacta su temperatura. Una cartografia del miedo que nos habita. El punto exacto en el que todo empieza a moverse bajo nuestros pies.CRITICAJon Bilbao escribe con tal calidad y es poseedor de una imaginacion tan portentosa que el lector le acompaña admirado. Jose Maria Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC CulturalFiccion y no ficcion se abrazan como ingredientes fundamentales, confundidos en el ejercicio mas ludico de contar historias, en uno de los hitos mas redondos que ha alumbrado la narrativa española en este siglo. Pablo Bujalance, El Diario de SevillaJon Bilbao perfecciona, a cada nuevo libro, su peculiar y, a ratos, muy anglosajon don para aquello que Roberto Bolaño llamo el ejercicio de esgrima. Laura Fernandez, BabeliaLa escritura de Jon Bilbao no es inocente ni gratuita, no escribe solo por darse el gustazo de contar (que tambien), sino que busca un cierto sentido trascendente a la literatura. Santos Sanz Villanueva, El CulturalEl universo de Jon Bilbao edifica una metarrealidad poblada por seres y conflictos representativos de arraigadas inquietudes existenciales. Jesus Ferrer, La RazonJon Bilbao esta levantando una obra que podra ser leida con respeto dentro de cien años Alberto Olmos, El ConfidencialEl gran merito de Bilbao es, ademas de retratar con todas sus virtudes y flaquezas unos personajes impactantes, su notable agilidad, ese ritmo trepidante que nos lleva sin descanso de una historia a otra, sin darnos cuartel. Rosa Marti, EsquireJon Bilbao es autor de una obra solida y perturbadora, donde es capaz de crear una realidad alternativa. Cine y LiteraturaUnas narraciones redondas que avalan que nos cuestionemos la costumbre de vivir, con sus derivas. Ricardo Martinez Llorca, Culturamas

Una fábula sobre la manipulación social, sobre ideales y mentiras, sobre el miedo y la violencia.Esta es una novela sobre conejos. O más bien, sobre un conejo irrepetible y su impacto definitivo en la Gran Madriguera.Esta es una novela sobre la diferencia entre recibir un nombre o elegirlo, sobre la creacion de las instituciones y rituales, sobre la manipulacion del miedo, la instigacion al odio, la promesa politica de la felicidad, la obsesion con la seguridad, el uso dialectico del placer y la ficcion de la identidad colectiva.Para unos un paria, para otros un peligroso agitador, para todos un lider, Auge y caida del conejo Bam repasa los hechos que dieron pie a la leyenda del conejo mas importante de la Gran Madriguera, narrados por su fiel compañero Copito, quien se esfuerza por separar el mito de la realidad en un ultimo gesto de traicion o de amor sublimado.En un texto poderoso y sin fisuras, Barba suma esta conmovedora novela a la tradicion animalistica que va de Esopo a Richard Adams, pasando por la orwelliana Rebelion en la granja, en un emocionante festin politico en el que se reconocen muchas de nuestras mas peligrosas inclinaciones contemporaneas, como el populismo y la posverdad.

The things that hold life in place have been lifted off and put away. Uprooted by circumstance from city to deep countryside, a woman lives in temporary limbo, visited by memories of all shes left behind. The most insistent are those of Xavier, who has always been certain he knows her better than anyone, better than she knows herself. Xavier, whom she still loves but no longer desires, a displacement he has been unable to accept. An unexpected letter from an old acquaintance brings back a torrent of others shes loved or wanted. Each has been a match and a mismatch, a liberation and a threat to her very sense of self. The ephemera left by their passage a spilled coffee, an unwanted bouquet, a mind-blowing kiss make up a cabinet of curiosity she inventories, trying to divine the essence of intimacy. What does it mean to connect with another person? What impels us to touch someone, to be touched by them, to stay in touch? How do we let them go? In yet another tour de force of fiction, Claire-Louise Bennett explores the mystery of how people come into and go out of our lives, leaving us forever in their grasp.
