Para Sarah Hepola el alcohol era «la gasolina de toda aventura». Beber significaba ser libre, era parte de su derecho como mujer fuerte y progresista del s. XXI. Pero tenía un precio. A menudo se despertaba con lagunas y un espacio en blanco en el que debería haber habido cuatro horas. Empezó a dedicar las mañanas a hacer trabajo detectivesco: «¿Qué dije anoche? ¿Quién era ese tipo? ¿Dónde estoy?». Lagunas es una autobiografía con una sinceridad imperturbable y un emotivo humor que provoca carcajadas. Es la historia de una mujer que entra a trompicones en una nueva aventura: la vida sobria que nunca había deseado.

Las enseñanzas de Don B. reúne algunos de los mejores relatos de Donald Barthelme. En ellos se abordan, con humor, agudeza y una increíble audacia, muchas de las problemáticas centrales de la sociedad contemporánea. Entre sus páginas encontraremos gigantescos globos que se expanden entre las calles de Manhattan, personajes históricos, conocidos villanos, brujas, ingenieros, amantes versados en tecnología militar, esmeraldas parlantes, conejitas de Playboy e incluso las primeras imágenes del alma humana (en ascensión). Todo ello da forma al singular collage en el que Barthelme ve reflejado nuestro tiempo y que, al igual que el conjunto de su obra, constituye un auténtico alarde de renovación lingüística y literaria, en ocasiones divertido, en otras perturbador, pero siempre desafiante.
