From a literary portrait of Pope Francis by Javier Cercas to Anna Caballé's biography of Rosa Chacel, and from illuminating explorations of Yoko Ono, J.S. Bach, and Césare Pavese
to new fiction by Dahlia de la Cerda, Enrique Vila-Matas, and José María Guelbenzu. A selection of the titles arriving in bookstores this month.
The die is cast. In a few days, on the new releases tables and also in the pages of Babelia, you'll be able to find sure bets such as Philippe Sands' investigation into the Pinochet case, Mònica Batet's fiction about our relationship with the past, and the profound monologue of a mother with her son presented by Claire Kilroy in Soldier Sailor.
This April, there will be quality crime novels (Philippe Claudel) and high-quality comics (Anzuelo by Emma Ríos), combative essays (el eterno Noam Chomsky), la voz serena del dietario (Juan Marqués), and stories about the problems of the suburbs (Los by Marina Perezagua). With three weeks to go until World Book Day, some of the most anticipated literary releases of the season are arriving; the fate of publishers is sealed.
