Yas
by Eduardo De Los SantosTodos buscamos algocuando se hace de noche. «Un libro maravilloso [...]. Lo mejor y más sorprendente que he leídoen mucho tiempo en la joven literatura en español.Inés Martín Rodrigo «Yas» es el título de la canción perfecta. Y es también el apodo de la esquiva Tania, una joven trompetista y cantante a la que buscan casi todos los protagonistas de este libro. Yas es además una forma más simple de escribir jazz. Yas solo tiene tres letras pero muchos significados. En esta novela de debut se relata la noche de insomnio de Manu, un joven librero y periodista que recorre Madrid en una madrugada desierta encontrando o evocando a todos los que rodearon su historia de amor perdido, mientras su pareja actual, Irene, despierta a solas en la casa vacía. Aquí suena música, suenan pasos en la oscuridad, suenan las lecturas que laten tras este texto de madurez inesperada y arrolladora, y suenan también puertas que se abren y se cierran, en locales o en casas lejanas donde podría estar Yas, o el yas. La crítica ha dicho...«Esta no es una novela sobre jazz, es jazz hecho novela. Las voces de Yas son solos y melodía, ritmo y verso, personajes que tejen un intrigante relato sobre el amor, el abandono y sus cicatrices.»Edurne Portela «De los Santos baila un tango con la precariedad en una novela de formas elegantes y espíritu punk. Yas suena a Leonard Cohen tocando un tema de Parálisis Permanente.»Alba Carballal «Yas es una de esas raras novelas -también pasa con algunas canciones- que dan ganas de quedarse a vivir en ellas al mismo tiempo que de cerrarlas y salir ahí fuera, a ver si la vida de la que nos hablan existe de verdad. Asume todos los riesgos de reescribir a Bolaño y le hace al chileno un regalo póstumo: una escuela, o la posibilidad de una escuela. Yas es un Los detectives salvajes madrileño en el que las referencias literarias -esto es de agradecer- escasean y dejan paso a las musicales; mejor dicho, a las jazzísticas. [...]. Es un texto inteligente y bien estructurado que hará resonar en cada lector una nota diferente; en algunos, con suerte, también u blue note o una disonancia inolvidable.»Munir Hachemi

The Reason for the Darkness of the Night: Edgar Allan Poe and the Forging of American Science
by John TreschOne of The Christian Science Monitor's ten best books of JuneAn innovative biography of Edgar Allan Poe—highlighting his fascination and feuds with science.Decade after decade, Edgar Allan Poe remains one of the most popular American writers. He is beloved around the world for his pioneering detective fiction, tales of horror, and haunting, atmospheric verse. But what if there was another side to the man who wrote “The Raven” and “The Fall of the House of Usher”?In The Reason for the Darkness of the Night, John Tresch offers a bold new biography of a writer whose short, tortured life continues to fascinate. Shining a spotlight on an era when the lines separating entertainment, speculation, and scientific inquiry were blurred, Tresch reveals Poe’s obsession with science and lifelong ambition to advance and question human knowledge. Even as he composed dazzling works of fiction, he remained an avid and often combative commentator on new discoveries, publishing and hustling in literary scenes that also hosted the era’s most prominent scientists, semi-scientists, and pseudo-intellectual rogues. As one newspaper put it, “Mr. Poe is not merely a man of science—not merely a poet—not merely a man of letters. He is all combined; and perhaps he is something more.”Taking us through his early training in mathematics and engineering at West Point and the tumultuous years that followed, Tresch shows that Poe lived, thought, and suffered surrounded by science—and that many of his most renowned and imaginative works can best be understood in its company. He cast doubt on perceived certainties even as he hungered for knowledge, and at the end of his life delivered a mind-bending lecture on the origins of the universe that would win the admiration of twentieth-century physicists. Pursuing extraordinary conjectures and a unique aesthetic vision, he remained a figure of explosive contradiction: he gleefully exposed the hoaxes of the era’s scientific fraudsters even as he perpetrated hoaxes himself. Tracing Poe’s hard and brilliant journey, The Reason for the Darkness of the Night is an essential new portrait of a writer whose life is synonymous with mystery and imagination—and an entertaining, erudite tour of the world of American science just as it was beginning to come into its own.
