Hace poco más de un año nadie quería publicar la novela 'La península de las casas vacías' de David Uclés. Su manuscrito, en el que llevaba trabajando quince años,  recibió el 'no' de la mayoría de las grandes y pequeñas editoriales. Nadie quería apostar por un autor joven con una novela de setecientas páginas sobre la guerra civil y escrita al más puro estlo del realismo mágico ¿Quien iba a leer algo así? Pero hubo una editoria que apostó por ella, Siruela.  Doce meses después se han vendido más de cien mil ejemplares, ha sido ensalzada por la crítica, encabeza todas las listas de mejor novela. Todos estos éxitos lo hemos celebrado en Hoy por Hoy con su autor, David Uclés. Además hemos hablado de otros libros. Dos donados por el propio Uclés a nuestra biblioteca: 'La muerte y la primavera' de Mercé Rodoreda (Club Editor) y  'Alfanhui' de Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio (Destino). Luego , nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio, aprovechó  la fecha del 25 de abril para hablarnos de cuatro novelas relacionadas con este día sea por su autor o contenido: 'Levantando del suelo' de José Saramago (Alfaguara), 'Robinson Crusoe' de Daniel Defoe (Sexto Piso) , 'Homenaje a Cataluña" George Orwell ( DeBolsillo) y  'Su único hijo' Leopoldo Alas 'Clarin' (Castalia). Además , Martínez Asensio nos dejó el libro que nos contará en su programa 'Un libro  una hora' :'El malentendido' de Irene Némerosky (Salamandra).   Tuvimos también novedades con Pepe Rubio, una de ellas reedición:  'Los caimanes' de Manuel Ciges Aparicio  (Montesinos) y 'Las voces del jilguero' de Eva Losada (Funambulista). El libro perdido, abandonado en la redacción de la SER, lo recuperó esta semana Eva Cruz y fue 'Cuantas noches son esta noche' de Juan Domingo Aguilar (La navaja suiza). Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes: 'Los garbanzos de doña Violeta' de Reyes Aguilar (Alfar), 'La lluvia amarilla' de Julio Llamazares (Seix Barral) y 'Maddi y las fronteras' de Edurne Portela (Galaxia Gutemberg)

Rose Auroras is a sorceress and seer, specialising in Faery & Elf-related issues and spiritual needs. She is part of a spiritual lineage of Celtic origin, but also trained in other spiritual traditions including Trolldom and Hoodoo/Conjure. Many people encounter issues or have spiritual needs related to the Good People (faeries) or the Alfar (Elves). Some may experience Faery-related activity, whether positive or negative, without understanding the reasons behind it, yet they wish to know why. Additionally, there are those courageous individuals who seek to establish a working relationship with the Fair Folk or the Alfar but are uncertain about how to do so safely. Addressing any of these Faery-related needs, and more, is Rose's area of expertise. In the Plus show we get into hybridism, how these entities can manifest. Rose tells us about her fascinating experiences with scrying and what she has seen surrounding people who have availed of her services, including Dark Man spirits. This is a brilliant conversation and hits the Spirit Box bullseye over and over again! Enjoy!

If you’re one of the country’s commuting public, it’s likely that you’ve been stranded at least once in your life, and almost always the cause of your troubles is brought about by some form of flooding that cannot, or would not, be explained by public works officials. Author Nikki Alfar offers a bizarre tale on being stranded, in this episode's featured story “ADRIFT ON THE STREET FORMERLY KNOWN AS BUENDIA”, narrated by veterinarian and animal lover Karen Vigo. It first appeared in the Philippines Free Press (2007), and then again in Bewildering Stories. The Bewildering Stories editors loved it so much that it became one of the recipients of the site’s most signal honor, the 2010 Mariner Award. This episode was originally released in March 2011.

Maria Isabella had just turned sixteen then, and each set of her padrinos had given her (along with the sequined brida du caballo, the dresses of rare tulle, organza, and seda, and the diadema floral du’l dama – the requisite floral circlet of young womanhood) a purse filled with coins to spend on anything she wanted.  And so she’d gone past the Calle du Leones (where sleek cats of various pedigrees sometimes allowed themselves to be purchased, though if so, only until they tired of their new...
