Dos años después de la publicación de “Yo Leo Indie”, el autor revisa el estado actual de la autopublicación en España. La situación ha evolucionado bastante (y en la buena dirección, en casi todos los aspectos) y cada vez hay más autores que se deciden por la edición independiente. Sin embargo, el rechazo de la industria editorial y la falta de soporte institucional, unidas a la limitada capacidad de estos autores para tener una visibilidad frente al público en general no permite que esta actividad económica se afiance, complementando (que no sustituyendo) a esa industria ...

This book of personal essays documents the relationship Fiza Pathan has had with the many libraries, secondhand bookshops, boutique bookstores, and writing haunts that have made her into the writer, ...

« Mes grands-parents ont grandi à l’Est de l’Europe, dans des pays de grands froids. Ils ont connu le chaos, les persécutions et l’exil. Plus qu’un désir, une fascination, la France fut pour eux une intuition. Même si tout cela m’est inconnu, cela ne m’est pas étranger.

He compellingly argues that hatred can have a self-destructive edge, and can do just as much harm to the person who harbours it as the subject of it. At its heart, hatred is merely a coping mechanism to manage our own shortcomings.
