Recommendations 2011 and goodbye 
The time has gone by and ten months ago, the last entry in this blog. For that reason and some others think it's time to close down this coffee from Trieste which opened April 13, 2006. Each case has its time, and ideas that shone for almost five years have been moth-eaten fresh in a stale film of dust. Sixty items after one is no longer the same and is cheaper to demolish the nightclub that reform.
I closed the comments because the spam I had burned, but the email address of the blog is still running. So if you want know me or inform you of future projects, you know where to find me.

A hug.

National Comedy Award 2010 is a chilling tale. Altarriba Antonio tells his father's life like a flash, because it is very difficult to release the book after one has started (notice).

- Chesil Beach (Ian McEwan) (Anagram)
McEwan has the early hours of the life of a newlywed couple in England in the early sixties. Far from merely telling a story, accomplished from the outset that the reader assumes the anxieties and fears of the characters. The truth is that I would recommend not just this book but all McEwan.
- Sister (Sandor Marai) (The Salamander)
If I say Marai's novel is a sober reflection on the illness and death that reminds a little of the melancholy of The Magic Mountain is dismayed readers? Well, I'm afraid I have said.
- Lies pm (Gesualdo Bufalino) (Anagram)
The novel hinges on an argument that looks like something out of a Borges story: four members of a secret organization spend their last night in prison before being executed. If one betrays the leader of the organization, will be released. To pass the time, each tells his story ...

Nth Bolaño's posthumous work (another is on its way, Anagrama should be spending a paste mediums) written in diary form of a peculiar obsession with a complex German strategy game. The tension that runs almost forced to read in one sitting.
"Anatomy of a moment (Javier Cercas) (Mondadori)

"The passenger Montauban (José María Ridao) (Galaxia Gutenberg)
José María Ridao reflects on the literature on travel and the history of Spain in this splendid essay in which the reviled figure serves as a leit Manuel Azana motiv. The book ends with a visit to his grave in the cemetery of Montauban.
-Antichrista (Amélie Nothomb) (Anagram)
Nothomb plays with the myth of the double. In this case Mr. Hyde appears as an angelic college friend who happens to be twisted to nausea.
