Sobre IBD

Dentro de una elegante casa de North Queensland, confortada por las llamadas de criaturas nativas y tonos clásicos, parece que los Baxters son una familia arquetípica, con un matrimonio feliz y un hijo diligente. Pero 1968 es un tiempo lleno de controversia religiosa, agitación política y la constante amenaza de la conscripción. La aparición de valores familiares conservadores debe ser mantenida rígidamente, pero ¿qué sucede a puertas cerradas? La obra de Aaron J. Clarke, presentada en un típico estilo elocuente que florece con un lenguaje sofisticado, abre el duro exterior de sus personajes para revelar sus deseos más íntimos, secretos... Y motivos. ¿Hasta dónde empujarías los límites para aquel que amas?

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...

  • The Cat
    Aaron J Clarke
    In the distant future, a man downloads an ancient novel and instead of instantly transferring the novel into his brain, the man does something profound, he reads the text.
