This section was created with the (good) intention of collecting those books that, with few exceptions and in a cultural publication, will never reach the status of 'bestseller' and whose authors,

sometimes known, other times unknown, deserve recognition for their excellence. I will reference publications that pique the curiosity of those readers less prone to follow the conventional.

Desktop publishing is common. What is not so common is for a journalist who is in charge of the corporate communications of a large company such as Ferrovial, to write an asphalt  novel entitled 'A few streets' (Caligram). Juan Francisco Polo (1957) has done it with youthful enthusiasm -although he has left behind that time of surprises - describing a neighborhood, surely his own, in which domestic, small, everyday things happened, but that he knows how to turn into pleasant stories, reflecting that popular time of the sixties-seventies of the last century that later deepened into an urban revival. Polo writes with experience and reliability because it is not his only book, but I think it is his first novel.

The joint initiative of the author and Caligrama, have achieved the desired result: a fiction in black and white that has both nostalgia and that little story that moves us.
