Ah, the old days! The old days are always better. The present knows this and chooses to punish us out of jealousy.

I'm not a book awards girlie but I will say if you were considering reading anything off the Booker Prize list then I'd highly recommend Boulder by Eva Baltasar
It's a hundred-ish pages of internal monologue about what happens when a restless soul almost accidentally settles down, and how love and resentment can exist in the same space in your chest when two people don't want the same things. It's beautifully written and the way the narrative voice translates her life through her love of food and the sea is just 🤌🤌🤌
#and i love this cover sm#the writing is so good#its not very often i read a translated novel and dont feel like im missing some intrinsic details in the sub text#the translater did a beautiful job#boulder#eva baltasar#translated by julia sanches#i will absolutely be seeking out more by this translator#booklr#book recs#booker prize

When I close my eyes, I’m in another world—the always perfect world of the past, which nostalgia has wiped clean of every blemish and bruise.

finished boulder by eva baltasar today and am a bit conflicted. i really related to the disgust the pov character, a queer woman, felt towards all things pregnancy and childbirth related. it was so genuinely refreshing to read the way the author wrote never couched that disgust or ever shamed her for it. the despair i felt while reading as the noose of her situation gradually closed in with no way out was an incredibly unique experience. and then it flipped on its head to ‘i didn’t love my child until i held it and now i want nothing more’. i recognize that it’s a subversion of a heteronormative trope, where it’s the father who feels increasingly alienated from and confused by his changing partner throughout a pregnancy but then he holds the baby and finally Gets It. i didn’t want her to get it. i wanted her to get out, with that same utterly refreshing lack of condemnation

“Loneliness may not make us intelligent, but it does force us to smarten up and choose life. And it imposes an enormous love of the most important kind: self-love.”

It is easier to put up a facade than it is to loosen the bolts you’ve been tightening, turn by turn, day by day, inside a house.

Personality is a dress made of scraps that I never stop washing or mending; it clothes me, might even suit me, but it will never, ever define me. The nakedness I conceal is what makes me a person.

The truth is we’d never made any plans, we’d just taken huge bites out of life.

[Mammut][Eva Baltasar]
Mammut di Eva Baltasar non è l'ennesimo romanzo sulla fuga nella natura, bensì una bomba a orologeria sul malessere della società contemporanea, la storia di una donna che impara ad attraversare senza risentimento l'angoscia, il dolore e il fallimento
La protagonista di Mammut è una donna arcaica intrappolata nella vita moderna. Lavora in un gruppo di ricerca di Sociologia e passa le giornate nelle case di riposo a sottoporre agli anziani questionari sulla longevità. Non sa bene cosa vuole, però sa di cosa ha bisogno, e questo la spinge a fare sesso con uomini. Per il suo ventiquattresimo compleanno organizza una festa con amici, conoscenti e…

@ hispanoparlantes (o hispanoleyentes), ¿cuáles fueron sus libros favoritos del año? Hoy me di cuenta de que no he leído mucho en español últimamente... el único género que no me gusta demasiado son los thrillers, pero fuera de eso agradecería mucho algunas recomendaciones para mi lista de lectura del 2023 :)
#todas mis lecturas en español del año me dejaron un poco decepcionada#permafrost de eva baltasar; república luminosa de andrés barba y sobre todo un verdor terrible de benjamín labatut#goodreads no dejaba de recomendarme el libro de labatut pero tenía un mal presentimiento y tenía razón#alguien en goodreads lo ha resumido muy bien: ''es como un collage de TMIs''
