Nobody better than Albert Espinosa to make us travel through vital narrative proposals that exude resilience. The generous and optimistic stamp of this author is reflected on each page. A real pleasure to discover one of the creators who best opens us to empathic worlds, to shipwrecked humor in an ocean of maddening individualism, inflated egos and superfluous pain ...
In this reality of ours, overcoming adversity always has something romantic, an insulting script with which to take back the reins of a destiny subjected to anxiety. And good old Albert knows a lot about that that without writing Self Help to use it is used to find springs of each one.
But the best of all is that Albert writes like few others. Apart from the genre of humor itself, it is currently difficult to find plots that awaken that positive feeling of reading as a sublimating act. The black genre is what triumphs now. And welcome too, why not.
But reading a current novel with that almost spiritual character in its simplicity and in its deepening of the benefits of living, beyond everything else, has its merit..., and its hook. Thousands and thousands of readers endorse it.
3 recommended novels from Albert Espinosa
If we were taught to lose, we would always win
Albert already tells us that if we look closely at life it doesn't make any sense. The inner gaze is the maximum possible proximity, the clouded observation of our inner core ends up leading us to the most fruitless navel-gazing and the loss of all perspective.
Albert's precision in bringing out our emotions is something almost surgical, typical of someone who has operated on himself after the hardest surgeries of the soul. And coming out of the battle unscathed or at least recomposed is the best guarantee of a life philosophy built bombproof.
If you add to all this the optimism that is inherent to life, because there is only one and it is useless to lick your wounds, each new book by Albert is that wisdom that moves between fictions and your reality, the most direct, the most surrounds you Because the wisdom of the survivor is the best teaching for the dying beings into which we sometimes transform like zombies.
Small stories, samples of survival, the kind that makes you stronger because it has not finished you, examples narrated with the virtue of modern parables. Healing from the example that implores you to stop so much nonsense and assume your life as the way to encounter moments of happiness.
What I'll tell you when I see you again
In this novel, I would highlight above all that delving into oneself without fear, that jumping one's own barriers until finding the deepest motivations. If we love someone it is always because of something very deep. If we can be absolutely sincere, life will be a wonderful journey.
Summary: The purest initiatory journey is the one that moves you to know yourself. If you can also get to know what moves someone who accompanies you on the trip, the route becomes a satisfying transcendental plan, a perfect vital communion.
It may be that, deep down, our dearest people are just strangers whom we do not know in those circumstances that require us to become who we really are, beyond our daily routines and costumes. We may also not know ourselves amidst the closed circles that define our day-to-day existence.
Albert Espinosa it does not speak of an easy journey with well-marked stages. Walking to know ourselves and to know who accompanies us requires a total openness, a sharing of pasts and longings, a journey through the sadness of losses and longings without solution.
The mere fact of sharing all that, the good, the bad, the hope and the melancholy leads to comprehensive knowledge. The process of knowledge between a father and a son, their sharing of their souls becomes the background of this story.
But Espinosa, in addition, knows how to provide the necessary action, and the precise arguments for the plot to advance, so that we notice the characters very alive, until we are soaked in their perspectives and get completely moved by them, as if we were advancing by their side.
The blue world. Love your chaos
Loving your chaos means respecting yourself, your abilities and your time. Supermen and women capable of everything do not exist. Chaos is that emptiness of helplessness. Assuming that loss and chaos can befall us is necessary.
The metaphor or allegory of this assumption of disorder is given to us in this novel by some young people who face various adventures, like those that life offers us on another more prosaic scale but similar in the acceptance of what there is. , of the media, and improvement as the only way out. With a positive spirit and some humor, any David can defeat any Goliath.

How good you do me when you do me good
The juiciest intra-stories blend well into the brief format that ends up composing a volume of independent but intertwined existences that do not depend on a single knot. AND Albert Espinosa He already exercises mastery in that of narrating from the closest allegories and metaphors that end up placing us in front of the mirror. With a bit of a moral in each case, the stories in this book end up melting into a melting pot of experiences saturated with color and life.
How good you do me when you do me good is my third book of short stories after Finales that deserve a story (2018) and If they taught us to lose, we would always win (2020). It is the end of this trilogy of stories that are still stories to heal the soul. My goal in writing them is to entertain and enjoy with some stories that, for one reason or another, have preferred to reside in a few pages.
