Cuenta hasta diezby Isabel Garzo "I do not like sevens or nines. I get confuse by them, I forget them, they make me feel uncomfortable. They are provocatively uneven, proud, arrogant. Perhaps for that reason the tear that broke my eyes when I had only counted up to seven hurt especially. Or perhaps they were the one hundred things that I did not do with him, or those that I did wrong, or those that I did by halves. Or the rage of having spend days and nights counting up to a ten that never comes." Cuenta hasta diez is a book of contemporary stories of suggestive titles that do not follow a concrete format. The common thread that unites them is a young reflective style, focused in objects and sensations, aiming to help us understand a little better those small things than overcome by greater ones. The stories are addressed to those minds that are looking for a trigger to re-invent themselves and to draw their own conclusions. "A book that engages you is a good company,
but it is a demanding company. Cuenta hasta diez
has the virtue of unconditional company. (...) Isabel Garzo
leads us
though the pure and powerful love of the forgotten ones, the unseen, of
those who secretly yearn but with absolute determination. Through the
word, the figure of the unwanted one, becomes a giant that raises from
the ground its enormous charm." (from the prologue by Marcos
Andres, lead singer of Vinodelfín) [Read an extract] (Spanish) |

Doce enerosby Lorena
Álvarez de Sotomayor and Belén
Espiga
Two friends that meet up in a café each January to know about each other and another one that sketches each meeting are the components that shape these texts. In all of them, adolescence's doubts and fears; the changes after moments already lived; the thoughts about world and time; the mark that has been companion to mankind. Here it is simbolyzed as a transit from a white soul to a black one. Doce eneros are twelve years of conversations, published by Incógnita Editores. "Their sights crossed each other. For an instant, only for an instant, they noticed how their souls melted while their bodies vanished, dissappearing in a sea of feelings, emotions, pain...". [Read an extract] (Spanish) |

Micromundosby Arturo Caprara (Artwork by I. G.-Colavidas)
There are a lot of worlds within one, and this book is a peculiar evidence of it. Micromundos awakes the certainty that the present is the only thing we have. It invites us to question ordinary life in the form of short, tiny, mini, short stories. Tender, intimate, irreverent, this book shows new perspectives for these troubled times, where everythings seems to develop at fast pace, with the rythm of a pill that here is called microstory. There are a lot of worlds within one. Come and see. [Read an extract] (Spanish) |

Los semáforos en rojoby Alfonso
Lozano and Óscar
Mulet
From the distant September's afternoon at the office that the three of them shared, evenings were scrapped and nights consumed till dawn in order to make real the first work of Incógnita Editores, Los semáforos en rojo. Los semáforos en rojo is a shared project among Alfonso Lozano, Óscar Mulet and Rubén Iglesias during Fall 2004. Short stories and pictures wave everyday tales, describe ordinary landscapes. Cities and characters gathered along with a pen and a camera shutter. "...or we just lied down at Regent's Park, in a slightly hidden place, maybe from Victorian moral. And everything was great: the grass, her belly, the sunny day. But of course, my allergia came back and I couldn't stop sneezing...". Los semáforos en rojo are twelve short stories illustrated by pictures "...small written moments catched by the shutter. Foggy colours, the essence of an instant stood still in time...".
