New Novels Explore Self and Body

February 2025 brings a wealth of literary options, with critics highlighting a diverse range of books. Among the recommended reads are new novels by Ferran Garcia, Marta Orriols, and Irene Pujadas. Also featured are an essay by Raül Garrigasaig, and reissues of works by Plató and Martí Rosselló. But two novels in particular are generating a lot of buzz: Irene Pujadas' 'El cos invisible' and Núria Perpinyà's 'La intrusa'.

Two book covers side by side, one titled 'El cos invisible' and the other 'La intrusa', in a modern bookstore setting.

A Double Dose of Introspection

What makes these two novels so compelling? Both 'El cos invisible' and 'La intrusa' delve deep into the human experience, exploring the complexities of the self, the physical body, and the often-vast distance between our inner thoughts and outward realities. It's a double journey into the interior, offering readers a chance to reflect on their own lives and perspectives.

“The novels offer a unique perspective on the human condition,” says one critic. “They are not just stories, but explorations of what it means to be human in the modern world.”

Exploring the Invisible and the Intrusive

While both novels share thematic similarities, they each offer a unique narrative voice and perspective. Pujadas' 'El cos invisible' (The Invisible Body) likely examines the often-unseen aspects of our physical and emotional selves, perhaps touching on themes of illness, aging, or the disconnect between mind and body. Perpinyà's 'La intrusa' (The Intruder), on the other hand, may explore the intrusion of external forces – whether societal pressures, personal relationships, or even the body itself – on our sense of self.
