Two New Novels Explore Self, Body, and Distance

February 2025 brings a wealth of new literary offerings, including two compelling novels that promise a profound exploration of the human condition. Irene Pujadas and Núria Perpinyà are simultaneously releasing their latest works, ‘El cos invisible’ and ‘La intrusa’, respectively, inviting readers on a “double journey” into the depths of self, body, and distance.

A Dual Release for Introspective Readers

Both ‘El cos invisible’ and ‘La intrusa’ delve into the complexities of identity and the physical realm. The novels offer distinct perspectives on how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. This simultaneous release presents a unique opportunity for readers to engage with these themes through the eyes of two talented authors.

It's been noted that February 2025 is shaping up to be a great month for book lovers. Alongside Pujadas and Perpinyà's works, new novels by Ferran Garcia and Marta Orriols are also hitting shelves, as well as an essay by Raül Garrigasaig. Not to mention the reissues of classics by Plató and Martí Rosselló.

Exploring the Inner Landscape

While the exact plot details remain under wraps, the titles themselves offer a glimpse into the novels' core themes. "El cos invisible" (The Invisible Body) suggests a focus on the unseen aspects of our physical existence, perhaps exploring illness, aging, or the feeling of disconnect from one's own body. "La intrusa" (The Intruder), on the other hand, hints at themes of invasion, alienation, and the intrusion of external forces on our sense of self.
