Análisis de la alteridadd en "La piel fría" de Albert Sánchez Piñol

La alteridad es una construcción social que surge de la necesidad de ordenar la realidad en entidades conocidas y desconocidas para dotarla de sentido. La representación de la diferencia, mediante clasificaciones culturales y estereotipos, configurará la forma en que una sociedad entiende el mundo y la mirada intencionada con la que lo representa. Partiendo de esta premisa, analizaremos el texto…

Hello friends, I am back with more reading recommendations for your agonies! Next up we have the long awaited and much requested Sad Boat Fiction list. As with all of my lists, this is NOT exhaustive and there WILL be great books left off, and also you may or may not like these books! I only rec things that I've personally enjoyed or that come highly recommended by trusted friends, but taste in books is incredibly subjective, especially with fiction. If I missed your favorite, please add it in the comments or drop it in my DMs!

Now that I'm feeling more settled in my new job, I will hopefully have a lot more time to make book lists and do more virtual Readers' Advisory. I have lists in the works for women in polar exploration and companion reads for the HBO War series, but if there's something else you would love to see, please send me a message!

[useless-catalanfacts]

Hi, I hope you haven't answered this question already, but do you have any books to recommend about catalan history? Like biographies/autobiographies or just something general. Thank you 😊

Hello! I assume you mean books that have been published in English.

There are many history books in Catalan of course, way less in English, but still some. As you will understand, I have read history books about Catalonia in Catalan, and not the ones made in English, so I can't recommend much from first hand. However, there are some that I can recommend.

I have heard very good recommendations of the book A People's History of Catalonia (2022) by Michael Eaude.

Another classic is George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia (1938), his autobiography from his years fighting in the Spanish Civil War. It's clearly written by a foreigner but definitely very interesting.

For more recent stuff, there's The Case of the Catalans: Why So Many Catalans No Longer Want To Be Part of Spain (2020) coordinated by Clara Ponsatí.

@guillemelgat also recommends Monturiol's Dream: the extraordinary story of the submarine inventor who wanted to save the world (2003) by Matthew Stewart about the Catalan inventor and revolutionary Narcís Monturiol, and also talks to the context where he lived in, 19th century Barcelona when the Eixample was being built.

Lastly, I would also like to add a novel. It's a historical fiction but it's very very well researched and has been translated to English. It's Victus: The Fall of Barcelona (2012) by Albert Sánchez Piñol, set during the War of the Spanish Succession, which together with the Civil War is the most important moment in Catalan collective memory.

[no-passaran]

Hi! Don't feel obligated to answer, but I've been learning catalan & I'd love to read some novels originally written in catalan, but i'm having a bit of a hard time finding ones that aren't 'classics'. Any recs? (I usually like literary stuff, like, authors irritatingly showing their skill, i eat that shit up, but anything contemporary or psychological or fantasy or anything will absolutely do :,) )

Oop sorry, I hadn't seen the message until now.

You won't have difficulty about this because Catalan literature is very lively and there's lots of great books coming out very often. Catalan literature has been praised around the world for having such vitality and quality, considering that it's a relatively small language community.

Personally the first recommendation that came to mind is Manuel de Pedrolo but idk if you're considering that a classic? He's relatively recent but many 20th century authors have become classics. His Mecanoscrit del segon origen is definitely considered a classic even though it's only from 1974, but I don't think the other ones are usually. Anyway, I really like his sci-fi short stories book Trajecte final, and my dad has spent years obsessed with his theatre play Homes i no. Talking about theatre scrips, I have a really soft spot for La cançó de les balances by Josep Maria Carandell ❤️.

I'm not usually one to read many short stories books but I also recommend Albert Sánchez Piñol's Homenatge als caiguts (stories of about 2 pages long and usually funny, very entertaining to read).

For a completely different vibe of short stories, I also thought El Cafè de la Granota by Jesús Moncada was excellent, the characterization and events feel like hearing your grandparents telling stories of when they were young. I still haven't read his most famous novel Camí de sirga though, honestly I don't know what I'm waiting for lol.

Canto jo i la muntanya balla by Irene Solà has also been very popular in the past few years and she definitely shows off her literary prose. I found it very lovely and I recommend it for when you want something more experimental. It's a book where each chapter is narrated by someone or something different (a shepherd, the rain, a witch who was killed centuries ago, a deer, a dog...) and it's very well written, it has also won some international awards.

And listen for some reason I still haven't read them myself (I plan to change that soon) but the best contemporary author is probably Jaume Cabré. I've only heard the highest praise for his Les veus del Pamano, and other of his books like Jo confesso. I'm planning to finally read Les veus del Pamano this summer and I'm very excited for it.

Another one I've heard lots of praise for and which I'm excited to read (hopefully soon) is Les històries naturals by Joan Perucho. I wasn't going to include books I haven't read besides Cabré (because, let's face it, with a question like this one must include Jaume Cabré) but since you asked for literary fantasy I think you might like it. It's about a knight/botanist who looks for one of Jaume I's knights who is a vampire.

Others that I've had recommended but haven't had time to read yet: Junil a la terra dels bàrbars by Joan Lluís-Lluís, Nicolau by Antoni Veciana, Guilleries by Ferran Garcia, and lots of people have loved Eva Baltasar's Permagel, Boulder and Mamut though it doesn't seem like my style they seem interesting.

I don't know if any of my followers wants to share some more in the comments/reblogs, but I'd be interested to hear them too 👀

Cold Skin

I liked it, despite being disappointed with it by the end. I enjoyed it, I must repeat this, despite missing its source material's bite in almost every scene. I enjoyed it! I enjoyed it. It was not as good as it could have been.

I miss Gens' misanthropy. Bring it back. Be angry with us. Smack us around. We deserve it. I suspect that the birth of his son caused him to try to inject warmth into Albert Sánchez Piñol's novel. That was a mistake. Freda, not warmth.

Making the narrator forgivable, never mind making him likable!, removed the point of the story from its plot. Humanity, in La pell freda, is the monster. Undoing this relationship removes its inescapable discomfort. The novel forces its reader through a bleak trial of unwilling self awareness that requires contemplation, while the movie replaces this mental process with an uncomplicated and wearily primitive fear of being killed. I so wanted Xavier Gens to trick me with this. I kept waiting for the trick. He makes some attempts at complicating a motive of just staying alive, injecting anticolonial sentiments and some surprisingly common philosophical questions. They're not unwelcome, but they are in the end overly simplistic. Treatment of racial xenophobia and the horrors of war is unexceptional, perhaps problematic if taken as direct metaphor, and, frankly, pointless - since we see from the very beginning, without any doubt, that these creatures are not "beasts". The film's musical score is typical, and forgettable.

Cold Skin's cast, visual craft, and moody location set are where its cinematic value is found. The script was unfinished.

Still I would recommend it, for the imagery alone, including the absolutely perfect performance of Aura Garrido, who embodied both Lovecraft's Deep Ones and the timeless sirens of myth, so well that I was brought to emotion several times. She is without question the star and center of this film, and she's worth seeing it, all by herself. More elaborate and expensive fish-person costumes never captured it the way she did in this performance. Many will compare Cold Skin to The Shape of Water, it's inevitable, but it's unfair. Water, it goes without saying, will be remembered for as long as cinema is relevant - but it lacked Aura Garrido.

Ray Stevenson, RIP, also delivered an excellent and thoughtful performance, as ever. I'm glad his star rose high just before he passed; I hope it leads some viewers to seek this movie out.

Xavier Gens; to regain your title, you must recall why you felt such loathing for human beings. Then you must marry that feeling to your newfound love of us, in some way. I think you'll shine brighter than ever, when hatred and love for humankind have merged inside you, their differences erased.

When that happens, please hire Ms. Garrido again.

It’s October! The month in which I watch even more horror movies than usual. Each year I tend to have a theme to help narrow down what to watch. So far I’ve done Zombie Films, Werewolf Films, Vampire Films, Slasher Films and Ghost Films. This year’s theme will be Cosmic/Eldritch Horror (or as most know it as Lovecraftian Horror.

This list isn’t going to contain every film in the world that is base on H.P. Lovecraft's works, have elements of it or is inspired by it. These are just the ones that I liked the most (that doesn't necessary mean they're all good though) and would recommend to others if they’re interested in this subgenre. So, in no particular order check out these films...

In the Mouth of Madness (1994) -- is an American supernatural horror film directed and scored by John Carpenter and written by Michael De Luca. It stars Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jürgen Prochnow, David Warner and Charlton Heston.

When horror novelist Sutter Cane goes missing, freelance insurance investigator John Trent scrutinizes the claim made by his publisher, Jackson Harglow. He's to retrieve a yet-to-be-released manuscript and ascertain the writer's whereabouts. Accompanied by the novelist's editor, Linda Styles, and disturbed by nightmares from reading Cane's other novels, Trent makes an eerie nighttime trek to a supernatural town in New Hampshire.

In the Mouth of Madness pays tribute to the works of author H. P. Lovecraft in its exploration of insanity, and its title is derived from the Lovecraft novella At the Mountains of Madness.

Color Out of Space (2019) -- is an American science fiction Lovecraftian horror film directed and co-written by Richard Stanley, based on the short story "The Colour Out of Space" by H. P. Lovecraft. It stars Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, Elliot Knight, Madeleine Arthur, Brendan Meyer, Q'orianka Kilcher and Tommy Chong. 

The Gardner family moves to a remote farmstead in rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century. They are busy adapting to their new life when a meteorite crashes into their front yard, melts into the earth, and infects both the land and the properties of space-time with a strange, otherworldly colour.

The Void (2016) -- is an Canadian Lovecraftian horror film written and directed by Steven Kostanski and Jeremy Gillespie, and produced by Jonathan Bronfman and Casey Walker. It stars Aaron Poole, Kenneth Welsh, Daniel Fathers, Kathleen Munroe, and Ellen Wong.

In the middle of a routine patrol, officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital staffed by a skeleton crew, only to become trapped by a gathering of hooded cultists, and grotesque creatures.

The Lighthouse (2019) -- is an American film directed and produced by Robert Eggers, from a screenplay he wrote with his brother Max Eggers. It stars Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson as nineteenth-century lighthouse keepers in turmoil after being marooned at a remote New England outpost by a wild storm.

Cold Skin (2017) -- is an French-Spanish science fiction-horror film directed by Xavier Gens and based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Albert Sánchez Piñol.

On the edge of the Antarctic Circle, a ship approaches a desolate island, far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man who is on his way to assume the post of weather observer and live in solitude at the end of the earth. He finds no trace of the man he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. For the next twelve months, his entire world will consist of a deserted cabin, trees, rocks, silence and the surrounding sea.

Note: I wasn't gonna include this but after watching The Lighthouse I figured why not. It certainly fits with the theme.

Underwater (2020) -- is an American science fiction action horror film directed by William Eubank. The film stars Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel, Jessica Henwick, John Gallagher Jr., Mamoudou Athie, and T.J. Miller.

After an earthquake destroys their underwater station, six researchers must navigate two miles along the dangerous, unknown depths of the ocean floor to make it to safety in a race against time.

Offseason (2021) - is an American supernatural horror film written and directed by Mickey Keating. It stars Jocelin Donahue, Joe Swanberg, Richard Brake, and Melora Walters.

Upon receiving a mysterious letter that her mother's grave has been vandalized, Marie quickly returns to the isolated offshore island where she's buried. Just as she arrives, the island closes for the season as the bridges get raised until springtime. Left stranded, Marie soon realizes that something is not quite right as she has one strange interaction after another. She must now unveil the mystery behind her mother's troubled past to make it out alive.

Annihilation (2018) -- is an science fiction psychological horror film written and directed by Alex Garland, based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer. It stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac.

The story follows a group of explorers who enter "The Shimmer", a mysterious quarantined zone of mutating plants and animals caused by an alien presence.

Lena, a biologist and former soldier, joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside Area X -- a mysterious quarantined zone that is expanding across the American coastline. Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscapes and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and their sanity.

Event Horizon (1997) -- is an science fiction horror film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and written by Philip Eisner. It stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan and Joely Richardson.

Set in 2047, it follows a crew of astronauts sent on a rescue mission after a missing spaceship, the Event Horizon, spontaneously appears in orbit around Neptune, only to discover that a sinister force has come back with it.

The Mist (2007) -- (also known as Stephen King's The Mist) is an American science-fiction horror film based on the 1980 novella The Mist by Stephen King. The film was written and directed by Frank Darabont. The film features an ensemble cast, including Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Nathan Gamble, Andre Braugher, Sam Witwer, Toby Jones, Frances Sternhagen, Buck Taylor, Robert Treveiler, William Sadler, Alexa Davalos, David Jensen, Chris Owen, Andy Stahl, and future The Walking Dead stars Jeffrey DeMunn, Laurie Holden, Melissa McBride, and Juan Gabriel Pareja.

After a violent storm, a dense cloud of mist envelops a small Maine town, trapping artist David Drayton and his five-year-old son in a local grocery store with other people. They soon discover that the mist conceals deadly horrors that threaten their lives, and worse, their sanity.

The Cellar (2022) -- is an supernatural horror film written and directed by Brendan Muldowney. It's an international co-production between Ireland and Belgium. It also starsElisha Cuthbert and Eoin Macken.

It follows a family whose daughter mysteriously vanishes in the cellar of the large estate they have just moved into.

Glorious (2022) -- is an American comedy horror film directed by Rebekah McKendry, and starring Ryan Kwanten and J. K. Simmons.

The film involves a heartbroken man who encounters a strange, all-knowing entity in a rest stop bathroom stall.

Bonus:

These are either based on Lovecraft's works, have Lovecraftian influence and references or gives off strong feels like one (even unintentionally).

Did you see what Jacqueline Piñol (The VA of Rio Morales in the Insomniac Spider-Man games) posted on Twitter? Don't worry, it's nothing bad.

*looks*

Huh. Well that's neat. Was a bit suspicious why you didn't say what it was or link to it but now I understand.

Context in case the Twitter post was deleted by the time y'all read this, because she did say that it would be deleted: the VA for Rio Morales in the Insomniac Spider-Man games shared a risqué 3D art piece someone made of Rio for New Years.

It was nice.

Sagrada Familia / Fachada. Natividad / Campanarios.

San Bernabe

José, más tarde llamado Bernabé, nació en Chipre y vivió en el siglo I. Fue judío perteneciente a la tribu de Leví. Fue uno de los primeros Apóstoles del cristianismo por la misión especial que le confió el Espíritu Santo, aunque no cuenta entre los doce elegidos por Jesucristo. Un arranque de generosidad hizo que vendiera un campo que poseía para poner el dinero de la venta a disposición de los Apóstoles. Estos lo apreciaban mucho por ser "un buen hombre, lleno de fe y del Espíritu Santo". Con sus prédicas aumentarán los convertidos en la evangelización de Antioquía.

La estatua fue realizada por el escultor Llorenç Matamala i Piñol.

[useless-catalanfacts]

What are your favourite Catalan books/literature?

Some of my favourite pieces of literature are theatre: El bon policia by Santiago Rusiñol and La cançó de les balances (by Josep Maria Carandell). I really like Rusiñol in general, I think he had a great sense of humour.

For novels, I know I'm very basic but Canto jo i la muntanya balla by Irene Solà (this one has been translated to English with the title When I Sing, Mountains Dance), La plaça del Diamant by Mercè Rodoreda (English translations have been published with the titles The Time of the Doves and In Diamond Square), and I also really enjoyed Victus (by Albert Sánchez Piñol, translated to English as Victus. The Fall of Barcelona, which is the only book that Sánchez Piñol wrote originally in Spanish instead of Catalan, but I'll include it because of the content/setting).

One of my absolute favourites is Trajecte Final by Manuel de Pedrolo which is sci-fi short stories. Other short story books I really liked are El cafè de la Granota by Jesús Moncada, everything by Pere Calders, and Homenatge als caiguts by Albert Sánchez Piñol.

And for poetry, Salvador Espriu without a doubt. I've also been reading some by Josep Piera that I'm enjoying a lot.

(I have not yet read anything by Jaume Cabré nor Joan Sales 🙈 I think it should be a priority to read Jaume Cabré at this point, there's a reason why everyone considers him one of our best writers of all times)
