A New Friend
A Spanish novella
Nacho Blanco
Rs 30; ISBN: 8188811033
Critical praise:
Half an hour is all that it takes to read the novella A New Friend. But, by the time you reach the last page, a part of you yearns for more, and before you realise it, you are back to page one and reading the short story again — pausing and pondering over the feel-great phrases and the reach-out-for-the-sky parts.
— Gitanjali Sharma, The Tribune
The gleam of Blanco’s message in this novella will unerringly catch the eye.
— Aparna Jacob, Views Unplugged
Under a Quicksilver Moon
A collection of poetry
Abhilash Warrier
Rs 100; ISBN: 8188811041
This small collection of poems remains thematically confined to the poet’s personal reflections. However, delicate constructions, finely-tuned lines and the aura of freshness in the author’s approach to day-to-day issues make the poems quite readable.
