He also includes a list at the beginning of his book that lists the sins and the foods that must be consumed to make them forget. These foods are the names of the chapters. This ...

From an encyclopedic wisdom, in his complex narrative constructions Powers enters with astonishing authority in fields as diverse as neuroscience, theoretical physics, musicology, molecular genetics, game theory, information technology, the advances of the artificial intelligence or the mechanisms of virtual reality. All these disciplines play a key role in his narrative corpus as a whole, made up of 12 novels, most of ...

Hubert Selby Jr., an American writer, did not forgive God for abandoning his people. Maybe that's why, as he wrote one morning in a very furious Psalm he understood better the demons in his country.

A world that humiliated and tore their souls and joy to pieces with every passing day. Maybe that is why he was so concerned about "comforting his friends", with helping them "find all their detached, tortured" selfs", washing their wounds on their knees, ...
