Curling

Curling es una ácida novela de humor, una distopía laboral y un ejemplo de costumbrismo lisérgico que sigue las peripecias de Eusebio Morcillo, nuevo miembro del equipo de Facilitadores de Experiencia en el teatro de ópera más importante de la ciudad, el Gran Teatro del Walhall. Un escenario que acaba de reabrir sus puertas y que, con el objetivo de llevar a los espectadores a cotas de placer nunca antes alcanzadas, ha ideado un Nuevo Espectáculo. Del éxito que este tenga depende su continuidad y los directivos no escatimarán en medios para garantizar el disfrute de sus clientes. Mientras Eusebio se somete a formaciones laborales pioneras, conoce a un grupo de facilitadores que urden un complot para acabar con el Walhall… Un texto corrosivo que explora las precarias condiciones de este mundo laboral asfixiante que nos toca sufrir. ¿Es la explotación laboral la forma definitiva de ascesis? ¿Dios ha muerto o ahora está en los Power Points?

Útěk (Matematika zločinu)

Napínavé reportážně-detektivní čtení. Odehrává se v českých soudních síních a vězeňských celách. A stále běží. V roce 2012 napadal reportérce Magdaleně Sodomkové z Asie cizí muž, že prchá před českou spravedlností. Verdikt podle něj nebyl spravedlivý, a to kvůli chybě soudního znalce - přezdívaného matematik zločinu. Zatímco po něm pátrají lovci lebek, reportérka se spolu s dánskou dokumentaristkou Brit Jensen snaží odhalit, kde se stala chyba. Zjišťují, že to zdaleka není poprvé, co se expert přepočítal. Pár vzorečků a jste v místnosti, která zevnitř nemá kliku. V cele.

Questo sangue masticato

In his debut novel, Francesco Aloia comes to terms with the past and his family, keeping his grandmother Ada's teachings firmly in mind. After leaving home and finding his own path, he returns to the places of his childhood during a summer and confronts a particularly "overbearing" grandfather, Tanino 'e Bastimento, a man of honor who, after a couple of murders and many years in prison, after challenging a Camorra boss, now must face one final duel "in absentia"—this time with his grandson.

Grondwerk

Grondwerk [Groundwork] (2025) explores climate change, collective action and attempts to make the world habitable in poetic and sensory language. In the novel, a naked mole-rat is sent on a mission from her colony in the Horn of Africa to a square in Brussels. Waiting for a briefing that fails to arrive, she observes the curious ways of the homo sapiens and starts digging tunnels in Brussels’ underbelly. As sinkholes grow all over the city – fragmenting the infrastructure of the political heart of Europe – a meeting and growing friendship with a climate activist produces an unexpected twist. Grondwerk was shortlisted for the Boekenbon Literatuurprijs and very positively reviewed in the Belgian and Dutch press.
