Reading Lists Amy Key recommends books from across the world about solitude and its pleasures, desires and conflicts I thought it would be easy to compile a list of books where women live alone. And it was, but what is considerably less easy it to think about books where women live alone and don’t fall into, or emerge from, a completely deranged state. I asked friends, and one replied, “the first thing that came to mind was Marian Engel’s Bear, then I remembered she has sex with a bear.” We...

En teoría, todos los ciudadanos de un país somos iguales ante la ley y contamos con los mismos derechos, pero basta con recorrer los barrios de la ciudad de México para comprender que en la práctica las cosas son diferentes. Mientras que muchas familias viven al día sin acceso a la educación y a la salud más elementales, otras acumulan fortunas superiores a los mil millones de dólares. México constituye la doceava economía del mundo y también una de las sociedades más desiguales del continente.

Het enige kind van de Mexicaanse auteur Guadalupe Nettel is het verhaal van de twee vriendinnen Laura en Alina. Geen van hen wil kinderen, maar als Alina van gedachten veranderd, wordt hun vriendschap op de proef gesteld. En als Laura betrokken raakt bij haar buurjongetje, gaat ook zij hierover anders denken. Vanaf het begin is het woordgebruik in Het enige kind heel erg mooi. De schrijfstijl is vloeiend en je wordt het verhaal ingezogen.

Near the beginning of Guadalupe Nettel’s STILL BORN, Laura writes that she and her twenty-something friends could be divided into two camps: those who imagined one day having children and those who, like Laura and her friend Alina, “were prepared to accept the disgrace heaped on them by society and family as long as they could preserve their autonomy.” But as Laura and Alina enter their mid-30s, their paths begin to diverge.

The story so far: Baby Pascal is strikingly beautiful, brown in complexion, with grey-green eyes like the sea. But where does he come from? Is he really the child of God? So goes the rumour, and many signs throughout his life will cause this theory to gain ground. From journey to journey and from one community to another, Pascal sets off in search of his origins, trying to understand the meaning of his mission.
