Manhattan Transfer, the best novel by John Dos Passos, is above all a testament to what New York was and a manual on how it got to what it is.
Foster Wallace embarks on a cruise to portray society, its mechanisms and, in this case, the machinery of one of the most popular vacation options in the world.
We review Crematorio, a fabulous book by Rafael Chirbes, a writer who, along with On the Shore (among others), has portrayed today's Spain better than anyone else.

Ada o el ardor is the maximum expression of Nabokov's particular detailed style taken to its maximum consequences. A work of art.

Essays, stories, alternation of plots and characters, narration in the third and first person.
