No resulta fácil encontrar, en la logia mayor de la literatura española contemporánea, una observadora de la cotidianidad tan aguda, profunda y lúcida como Carmiña Martin Gaite. Nadie como ella para reparar en ese detalle, aparentemente nimio, que revela una dependencia, subraya un ejercicio de poder, señala con el dedo un terror, un ataque de angustia o de soledad. (Luis Alberto de Cuenca). Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Title: Past Imperfect Author: Julian Fellowes Narrator: Julian Fellowes Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 10-30-08 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Contemporary Publisher's Summary: Damian Baxter is very rich and dying. He lives alone, attended by chauffeur, butler, cook and a housemaid, a life of everything and nothing. Before he goes he needs to know if he has a living heir. At stake is his fortune - in excess, he reckons, of 500 million. By the time he married he was sterile (the result of adult mumps in his early twenties), but what about before that unfortunate illness? Had he fathered a child as a young man? An anonymous letter from twenty years before suggests so. But finding the truth will not prove easy, as the only man who knows where to look is Damian's sworn enemy. Often funny and on occasion even shocking, the twists and turns of Past Imperfect will leave readers as intrigued as Damian at the eventual outcome. Just as in his bestselling book Snobs, Julian Fellowes shows himself a wonderful storyteller with characters superbly observed. Here is the Jane Austen of the twenty-first century with more than an acerbic dash of Evelyn Waugh.

Title: Imperial Bedrooms Author: Bret Easton Ellis Narrator: Andrew McCarthy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-10 Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Fiction, Contemporary Publisher's Summary: In 1985, Bret Easton Ellis shocked, stunned, and disturbed with Less Than Zero, his extraordinarily accomplished first novel (New Yorker), successfully chronicling the frightening consequences of unmitigated hedonism within the ranks of the ethically bereft youth of '80s Los Angeles. Twenty-five years later, Ellis returns to those same characters to Clay and the band of infamous teenagers whose lives weave sporadically through his but now, they face an even greater period of disaffection: their own middle age. Clay seems to have moved on hes become a successful screenwriter but when he returns from New York to Los Angeles, to help cast his new movie, hes soon drifting through a long-familiar circle. Blair, his vulnerable former girlfriend, is now married to Trent still a bisexual philanderer and their Beverly Hills parties attract excessive levels of fame and fortune. Clays childhood friend Julian is a recovering addict running an ultra-discreet, high-class escort service, and their old dealer Rip, reconstructed and face-lifted nearly beyond recognition, is involved in activities far more sinister than those of his notorious past. After a meeting with a gorgeous but talentless actress determined to win a role in his movie, Clay finds himself connected with Kelly Montrose, a producer whose gruesomely violent death is suddenly very much the talk of the town. As his seemingly endless proclivity for betrayal leads him to be drawn further and further into this ominous case, it looks like he will face far more serious consequences than ever before.

When the neurotic law student meets his cosmic match in Fiona Haeberle, an impulsive spirit and burgeoning soap star, all seems well - the two fall fast in love, and spend three years navigating their twenties in wide-eyed wonder. But once the fantastical woman who had defined his future bolts to pursue a fantasy life of her own, Leo is forced to come to terms with a reality that more closely resembles an epilogue than the story he'd hoped it might be. Now a junior death row advocate, Leo immerses himself in the esoteric world of his condemned client, a born-again Georgia inmate named Michael Tiegs. As both men become consumed by the the question of an afterlife - and as Leo becomes increasingly confused by his own future and past - Tiegs' fate hangs in the balance. Leaning on his friends and grappling with his memories, Leo must try to save a client who may not want to be saved after all, even as he struggles to confront the prospect of his own mortality. At once obsessively listenable, philosophically probing, and verbally acrobatic, The Life of the World to Come announces Dan Cluchey as a fresh new voice in fiction.
