1. The man nomad. Jacques Attali.
Physical inactivity is a brief interlude in the history of mankind. Man is born of the trip, is the career of a biped-Australopithecus-coming down from the trees, straightens and begins to walk across Africa, Europe, Asia, India, Indonesia and China. This exciting book is the story told from the point of view of the nomads.
2. Summer. JM Coetzee. What writer writes his autobiography to be stick? JM Coetzee in this autobiography does sui generis, which is not an exercise in masochism but modest: the important ones are always the others, understand that is what makes a truly great writer.

EYE TO THE BLADE. DAVID CORREA JUAN
El Espectador, December 24, 2010. (Scanned NTC .... So far in December. 27, 2010 - 6:34 am - not on the website of the newspaper)
Tonight is possible that many trees are filled with unnecessary plastic utensils in gratitude and affection, which is not paradoxical and metonymic. But anyway, those are the rules of the game. So I bet for the only object capable of locking up hundreds of thousands of lives and open doors and maybe impress or annoy the recipient. I bet these books written by Colombians.
Three white coffins. Antonio Ungar accomplished in his third novel to get a sober balance between the public and private sectors. and how. In this satire of a country called Miranda, a tragicomedy of entanglement in a country very similar to this, one feels the work and dedication of the writer, winner of the Novel Herralde 2010.
The Triumph of Death. Mauricio Bonnett recently published novel on it, a thriller refined and worked as a moral novel, manages to reveal the twists and turns of a few characters lost in London and joined by an infamous death. Ruins
family. In this short novel Charry managed a tone sought in his earlier books and not always achieved. This story looks at the relationship between a parent and a child the meaning of old age and death in a way overwhelming.
. Antonio García got a story book balanced, well written, follow your intuition to find the particular speech of his characters. The last story that gives the book its title is the best.
Doze. I do not agree that any first novel is an autobiographical atonement, as I believe all writing is, in this novel Melba Escobar manages a story that transcends the family relations from the perspective of a woman seeking her place in the world.
That silence. The transcript of this short novel by Roberto Burgos Cantor is Puerto Escondido, the heart of paramilitary wars fought in the 90's and this decade. No thesis or convoluted explanations, Burgos does a story which feels all that stress through five-minute monologues. Abraham
between bandits. This novel Tomas Gonzalez has been held by the voices that get to tell the time of the violence of the 50, but has not insisted that the writer of Antioquia, in novel after novel, has revealed a mood, a way of being and the world perhaps ultimately to understand who we are. Coda
Save me, Joe Louis. Although it was published in 2007, its author, Andrés Felipe Solano , deserved to be this year on the Granta list of the best storytellers in English, thanks to the black comedy, Written with impeccable skill, showing him as a writer and an eye on what matters: to write. Merry Christmas. +++++
Books
For Patiño Germain.

In these days of year end, suitable for meditation and relaxation, there's always a few books that we reconcile with the finer things of the human condition. I think of the following:
1. 'Dublinesca' of Enrique Vila-Matas. In my opinion the best novel published in Castilian in the current year. An ode to good literature. Vila-Matas leads to an extremely risky idea that good fiction does not depend on the plot. Here there are no complicated plots or exotic adventure stories, and descriptions that seek to become screenplays. There are other, creating complex characters, recreating memories, reflections and a steady turn to the literary experience. The centerpiece of the novel is about a journey made by friends of James Joyce's Dublin, which actually does not happen more thing worth mentioning. But between travel planning, fulfillment and returns, witness a fascinating display of literary inquiry and the spectacle of a brilliant intelligence navigating through the maze of human nature. Vila-Matas fly higher and farther than any writer in today's Castilian and shows a novel that generated in the same literature, must use an artistic language that movies will never come, and that takes the banalities the texts which follow exactly the canons of contemporary best-seller.
2. "Three white coffins' by Antonio Ungar. a surprise year-end, award-winning novel Herralde, one of the most prestigious in English. Surprising for several reasons: there are echoes in the pages of 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole, the ability to romanticize the recent events in Colombia and the well-crafted literary. A devastating critique of Uribe in power, a joke no concessions to careerism and hypocrisy of the Colombian elite, keen sense of humor and a good dose of philosophical skepticism, so necessary in these times of illusions made from power. Although international criticism has been noted that may relate to the status of any country in Latin America, it is clear that its referent is the Colombia of the Uribe administration and Ungar tells you when reproduced on page 154 letter the song 'Noches de Cartagena' and tells us that it was composed by a compatriot of President Thomas of Pito-fictional name of Alvaro Uribe, referring to Jaime Echavarria Antioquia. Certain excesses of language and the ability to mock everything and everyone, make this novel a good example for Colombian writers, especially for those who are engaged in national reality fictionalizing and are not able to let go of his fascination violence. Ungar goes stomping on the literary scene in English.
3. 'The Cemetery of Prague "by Umberto Eco Nothing is what it seems in this provocative novel. Some of hedonism with respect to the fine French cuisine and a nineteenth century French challenges to contemporary European conventions. Politically incorrect, is literature at its best: writing as a work of art.
Unfortunately, these three gems are not very visible at the National Library, as usual. Their shelves dominates fashion, not literature. --------
While those two books and some other voices joined in, find only 10 books representative or emblematic of our time was really difficult because the list included many authors. Some poetical works mentioned were: Leon of Greiff: Complete Works, Poems major, Jaime Jaramillo Escobar, Poetry, William Ospina, Duration and legend, Giovanni Quessep, the love, 1982-1987 and Ceretano Triptych, Raúl Gómez Jattin.
