In her debut title, Other People's Beds, Anna Punsoda shines a
light onto the darkest corners of the soul with a clean, sharp
prose that is punchy, devastating, and tender at the same time.
Punsoda beautifully highlights her protagonist's body, a body that
has been carved out of stone by her father's alcoholism and her
mother's frustrated apathy. This character's stolen innocence leads
to her to losing herself in other people's beds. As shocking and
sad as it is funny and liberating, Anna Punsoda's Other People's
Beds has won unanimous plaudits in her native Catalonia. This
powerful debut is written so beautifully and with such ease and
fludity that Punsoda is most definitely one to watch.
The Seven Deadly Sins is an ambitious project bringing together
seven of the most exciting, vibrant voices in Catalan literature to
write seven essays on what are perhaps the most enigmatic – and
least understood – aspects of religion and morality. Drawing on
many different sources, the essayists tell each sin’s story and
origin in their own unique way to produce a collection that is
frequently hilarious while always entertaining and informative. In
Mara Faye Lethem’s stunning translation, these are essays that
can be enjoyed as part of a whole or individually.
