Sabina Urraca’s comment: “This book, published posthumously by La uña rota, is an absolute marvel. It is several things at the same time: an essay, an investigation and a story made from the ends of books, grouped by theme or common characteristics. Camila Cañeque, an artist who worked around the idea of tiredness, existential fatigue, became obsessed with the endings of books (long live the obsession) and built this book around the idea. “The first sentence is a great seductress, or so is expected of it,” says Cañeque in this book. Instead, she adds, “the greatest charm of starting a novel is knowing that it ends.”

Sabina Urraca’s comment: “This book has become for me a kind of contemporary missal on faith in magic and the fantastic. Laura Fernández immerses herself in the story of the Loch Ness monster and makes a chronicle and a personal rewriting that reflects on the act of imagining, believing and creating reality, the thin line between fiction and reality, and the monstrous and the elusive like keys that open the floodgates to the many worlds that make up one world. “An absolute delight for lovers of magic.”
