mujeres que solo buscamos sexo en nuestras relaciones, nos suelen acusar de frías y de no tener sentimientos. Sin embargo, si sigues leyendo, tal vez me conozcas un poco mejor. Me llamo Miriam, tengo veintiocho años y acabo de conocer a Kira, una chica guapísima de la que llevo tiempo colada y que ¡me ha pedido una cita!Aunque Kira me va a volver loca; a veces me quiere y otras pasa de mí. No logro comprenderla y eso me resulta más tentador. Lo sé, ¡no tengo remedio! Por si fuera poco, también he conocido a Jessi. Una chica encantadora, compresiva y dulce. Aunque la veo más como una amiga que como una historia de amor, ¿o no? ¡Ay, estoy hecha un lío! ¿Apuesto por lo prohibido y sexi o por alguien que me escucha y me comprende? O, quizás, si sigo tan indecisa, pierda a las dos. El amor no está hecho para mí… ¿o sí?Escaping Mr. Rochester

Así pues, los tres consiguen convivir bajo el mismo techo en una sociedad rural que, a priori, no admite una relación entre dos hombres.

Pero Julia tiene otros planes y una poderosa herramienta: Sabiero el autómata, la creación de su amigo Teodoro. Una novela pincelada con las luces y oscuridades de los primeros librepensadores españoles, en una tierra que se recupera después más de cincuenta años de guerra civil, mientras avanza a traspiés ante el cambio social y tecnológico de aquella no tan lejana época. Una novela ambientada en el costumbrismo sobrenatural de siglo XIX y en las raíces de la intrahistoria española. La crítica ha dicho...«Una novela costumbrista que se inmiscuye en una pequeña logia de Buñol (Valencia), para hablarnos de un siglo XIX íntimo y la relación entre personas, máquinas y naturaleza.»Fantasymundo «Buscaba algo diferente y lo he encontrado. ¿Sabes esos argumentos tan locos que no sabes si va a serun completo fracaso o un acierto absoluto? Pues en este caso al autor le ha resultado positivo.»Diario de una Chicka Lit «Una novela genial, increíble e imaginativa.»La historia en mis librosSorry, Bro

Par James Hannaham. 2022
Winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award In this &“dangerously hilarious&” novel (Los Angeles Times), a trans woman reenters life on…
the outside after more than twenty years in a men&’s prison, over one consequential Fourth of July weekend—from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods. Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she&’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn&’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce&’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served.Love & Other Disasters (Nashville Love #1)
