“Lost objects” (Karla Suárez)
Fifth novel by Karla Suárez, Lost objects Follows Giselle’s journey, an lost thirty -something in Barcelona after an argument with her boyfriend and a trap where her bag was stolen from him. It is also a good pretext for the Cuban author to go up the thread of the young woman to the predestined first name since she swears by dance. But life not being a long, quiet river, his career to impose his choice to follow only his dreams is dotted with obstacles. That it will overcome thanks to a Cuban art of the Patentée. (M.-A.G.)

“Ascendant Beauf” (Rose Lamy)

An initiative followed by more than 250,000 subscribers who led to the publication of several books. Today, “In the continuity of its reflections”Rose Lamy publishes this essay in order to question a somewhat vague concept, popularized in particular by Cabu: Beauf. And at the same time class contempt and domination. A book to go to all his contemptuous intellectual friends who is affected by the franchise of her author. (J.Besn.)
