  • UN ESCRITOR JOVEN, EXPLOSIVO Y CON UN FUTURO MUY PROMETEDOR: UNA HISTORIA EMPAPADA DE LLUVIA Y DE MAR QUE TE ARRASTRA COMO UNA MAREA«Una novela muy valiente, salvaje, de grandeza blasfema, y que cala hasta los huesos», Manuel Rivas · «Cantabria encerrada en una gota de lluvia. Luis Mario (nos) cae del mismo cielo», David Uclés · «Una de esas novelas raras y extraordinarias que contienen un mundo», Layla Martínez · «Una voz que te arrolla y te lanza al mar», Anna Pacheco · «Se te pega al cuerpo como la lluvia fina. Cuando te das cuenta ya estás completamente empapada», Ángelo Néstore · «Señala a Cantabria en el mapa y con un idioma nuevo pero antiguo nos dice: aquí nace la poesía y la brutalidad», Júlia Peró · «Una especie de la jodimos con vistas a la bahía». Conchita, abuela de Luis MarioEn Cantabria «calabobos» responde a una llovizna menuda que cae de forma imperceptible, por eso en esta novela llueve todo el rato y sus personajes están mojados permanentemente. Rodeado de paisajes bellos a la par que violentos y a través de una oralidad descarnada, maleducada, y un cántabru tosco y fiero, el protagonista de esta historia habla de la brutalidad silenciosa de un pueblo desamparado, que cala poco a poco en su gente sin que ni siquiera se den cuenta, mientras trata de encontrar a su hermana antes de que llegue la pleamar.Han tenido que pasar varios años para que Luis Mario se diera cuenta de que vivía empapado y, una vez seco, ha podido escribir sobre la Mujer Oso, el Hombre Pez, mujeres que amamantan a perros, hombres que destripan vacas y vacas que caen al mar. Sobre Mariuca y Nanda La Chona, infusiones que todo lo matan, percebes con el sexo descomunal, gorriones que brotan de la tierra, vainas llenas de dientes, viejas que se alimentan de críos o un feto dentro de un mejillón. Pero, por encima de todo, ha escrito sobre un sitio que se niega a cambiar. Calabobos supone la invención de un nuevo relato mitológico, hermosísimo y afilado como las rocas de un acantilado.La crítica ha dicho:«Un festín de sensaciones. ... Una lectura torrencial que es remolino y os llevará hasta lo profundo del mar».David Uclés, La Vanguardia«Una fiesta verbal del lenguaje que no está en los diccionarios y que se ríe de lo normativo».Berna González Harbour, El País«La forma hace Calabobos, pero, evidentemente, es el fondo lo que también importa: ... la historia de cariño, de lazos familiares y vida. ... Dura y tierna al mismo tiempo. ... Una Cantabria cerrada que, a ratos, resulta asfixiante».Paloma Cortina, El ojo crítico (RNE)«La nueva novela de Luis Mario no se parece a nada. Su autor es tanimprevisible como las galernas; no dobla las sombrillas de la playa, pero provoca el mismo efecto en el corazón».Beatriz Russo, Zenda«Un libro terrible y fascinante, violento y cruel pero también lleno del difícil y fiel amor de las bestias. Una obra arriesgada y única. Un ejemplode esos libros que, cuando los leo, me recuerdan que nunca será capaz de escribir algo así. Recomendación absoluta».Público«Una lectura imprescindible que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia de recuperarlas raíces, escuchar los silencios y dejarnos empapar por la magia de las buenas historias».Lucía Núñez, Cosmopolitan«Me encantó».Luciana de Luca

“I bought Huckberry Flint & Tinder blazer at Ubuy. My request for a return was rejected at first but later I received an apology message willing to resolve the matter without placing any burden on me. I really appreciate their resolution. The blazer was collected yesterday by DHL couriers on behalf of Ubuy. They can only do a refund and not offer a bigger size as i expected, but i am fine with that too. ”
