Sara Mesa

Sara Mesa (Madrid, 1976) has lived in Seville since she was a child. In Anagrama the novels Cuatro por cuatro (finalist for the Herralde Novel Prize) have been published since 2012: "A naked and cold writing, full of powerful images that unsettle to the same extent that they magnetize" (Marta Sanz, El Confidencial); Cicatriz (El Ojo Crítico Prize for Narrative): “A true revelation” (J. M. Guelbenzu, El País); «Sara Mesa creates high-voltage literature worked with goldsmith precision» (Rafael Chirbes); the recovered An invisible fire: «she proves to be a very demanding creator. A novel that works like good stories because it contains much more than what it says »(J. M. Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC); Bread Face: «A small masterpiece of narrative» (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Qué Leer); A love: «Its edges are presented under a prose of disconcerting cleanliness, concise, agile: it is read with the speed that we associate with enjoyment, but when we close it we find ourselves helpless. A magnificent novel »(Nadal Suau, El Cultural) and The Family:« she has written some of the darkest stories in current literature. Now he attacks the false dreams of well-being in The Family... In his new book, humor qualifies the restlessness that runs through all his work... There is a constant in his work since his beginnings that, in addition to abuses of power, has to do with the double life of the characters." (Laura Fernández, El País - Babelia) the highly celebrated volume of stories Mala letra: «Cuatro por cuatro, Cicatriz and Mala letra by Sara Mesa have been starring in the Spanish literary scene for months» (Christopher Domínguez Michael, Letras Libres); and the short essay Administrative Silence: «A reflection on the brutal impact of poverty on the individuals who suffer from it and on the prevailing attitudes towards them in our society. Especially suitable for those who think that they do not have prejudices" (Edurne Portela, El País).
