Amor al pueblo de Carboneras

La princesita en el asteroide B612La princesita en el asteroide B612 by Noemí Trujillo


Veintún poemas de amor al pueblo de Carboneras en Almería (España), y a la persona que identifica como la "rosa" que tiene que proteger para que ningún cordero se la come, como en "El prinicipito" de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Abundan las referencias a lugares y personalidades de este pequeño pueblo costero, incluyendo notablemente el faro de Mesa Roldán y su farero, el también escritor Mario Sanz Cruz, pero la "rosa" a que se refiere es el escritor Lorenzo Silva, referido en la dedicatoria.

Geoffrey Fox's short story collection Welcome to My Contri (1988, enlarged e-book 2010) was described by The New York Times Book Review as a "short and impressive work" in which "Mr. Fox [...] has created a memorable set of players who, while not natural antagonists (they often share the same dreams and goals), are still somehow bent on confrontation. Watching their sometimes vicious, often darkly humorous interactions leaves us thoroughly wrung out and aware that we are in the presence of a formidable new writer". Novels: A Gift for the Sultan (2010), Rabble! (2022) His articles, op-eds and book reviews have appeared in The Nation, The New York Times, the Village Voice and other publications. Since 2008, Fox has been living with his partner, architect Susana Torre, on the edge of the Mediterranean in the village of Carboneras in Andalusia, Spain, where his short stories (in Spanish) under the pen name "Baltasar Lotroyo" ("el otro yo" = alter ego in Spanish) have appeared in anthologies and online publications.
