Nineteen Minutes: A novel (Center Point Platinum Fiction (large Print) Ser.)
by Jodi PicoultIn nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five.... <P><P>In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it. In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge. Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens -- until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath, the town's residents must not only seek justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role they played in the tragedy. For them, the lines between truth and fiction, right and wrong, insider and outsider have been obscured forever. <P>Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, could be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. And as the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families. <P> Nineteen Minutes is New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult's most raw, honest, and important novel yet.

Niños aparte
by Julieta ValeroEl debut en la ficción narrativa de la poeta Julieta Valero arma el puzzle emocional que une a dos mujeres con una prosa mágica y sensual. «Una evidencia que nos asombra.» Una de las definiciones de Poesía que más me gustan vale igual para el deseo. El deseo y su objeto, que con la energía del verbo hacemos uno, eran cosas distintas antes de acontecernos. Yo conocía a Elena como a otras docenas de personas relacionadas con la educación de mi hijo. Qué maja, piensas, yendo hacia el coche; y ese mismo atisbo de simpatía cumplida ya es una película que plastifica a los interlocutores en su papel dado; somos padres, madres, somos nuestra función. El nombre propio y lo que pudiera desatar una mirada se obvian, como un vicio extraño. Pero sucede a veces que el plástico se funde. No por un calor que emana de la persona observada desde el yo. Nada cambió en Elena; mi deseo la encontró.” Con una prosa enérgica y sensual, Julieta Valero entrega una novela que se despliega en diferentes relatos y un libro de relatos que se lee como una novela. La forma y el tono varían, pero un tema se impone: adultos que crían al margen de la crianza, y los márgenes de la niñez como espacio que nos sigue hablando cuando ya somos adultos. Niños aparte dibuja un país en cambio constante, con sensibilidades enfrentadas y sin embargo familiares.
