Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hostile mother-daughter relationship stands at the center of this astonishing, blackly humorous novel by the acclaimed author of First Love. Helen Grant is a mystery to her daughter. An extrovert with few friends who has sought intimacy in the wrong places, a twice-divorced mother of two now living alone surrounded by her memories, Helen (known to her acquaintances as “Hen”) has always haunted Bridget. Now, Bridget is an academic in her forties. She sees Helen once a year, and considers the problem to be contained. As she looks back on their tumultuous relationship—the performances and small deceptions—she tries to reckon with the cruelties inflicted on both sides. But when Helen makes it clear that she wants more, it seems an old struggle will have to be replayed. From the prize-winning author of First Love, My Phantoms is a bold, heart-stopping portrayal of a failed familial bond, which brings humor, subtlety, and new life to the difficult terrain of mothers and daughters.

Book excerpt: "Permafrost es el sorprendente debut de Eva Baltasar, una historia contundente, íntima y carnal de una protagonista con pulsiones suicidas que se protege del exterior pero se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte. El permafrost es esa capa de la tierra permanentemente congelada y es también la membrana que cubre a la protagonista de esta novela. Escrita en primera persona, nos presenta a una mujer en etapa de formación que se protege del exterior, que percibe la superficialidad en todo cuanto la rodea y huye de un entorno que nada tiene que ver con su manera de entender la vida: una madre obsesionada con la salud, omnipresente y controladora, y una hermana que afronta su existencia convencional con medicación y un positivismo irritante. La protagonista, que siente pulsiones suicidas, no permite que nadie se le acerque demasiado, pero al mismo tiempo se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte. El pulso entre el hedonismo, los placeres más carnales y la muerte es constante en esta novela, así como el tono mordaz de una protagonista que nos gana con su inteligencia y su humor negrísimo desde la primera página. Repleto de imágenes poéticas, contundentes y muy físicas, este carácter tan palpable del texto no es gratuito en una novela que nos habla del cuerpo, del sexo, del yo; una obra aguda y directa que reivindica la libertad femenina en el placer y en la soledad. Eva Baltasar inicia con Permafrost un tríptico de protagonistas femeninas que quiere explorar distintas etapas en la vida de las mujeres"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Harold Pinter provides an introduction to one of the world's leading and most controversial writers, whose output in many genres and roles continued to grow until the author's death in 2008. Harold Pinter, winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature, produced work for the theatre, radio, television and screen, in addition to being a highly successful director and actor. This volume examines the wide range of Pinter's work (including his recent play Celebration). The first section of essays places his writing within the critical and theatrical context of his time, and its reception worldwide. The Companion moves on to explore issues of performance, with essays by practitioners and writers. The third section addresses wider themes, including Pinter as celebrity, the playwright and his critics, and the political dimensions of his work. The volume offers photographs from key productions, a chronology, checklist of works and bibliography.
