About me: Albert Güell Juanola (Barcelona, 1964). Graduated in Humanities, Master in Education and ICT, secondary school teacher, photographer and writer. My professional life include from audiovisual production, photography and media, the development of publishing and educational projects to historical research, teaching and, of course, writing. I write to rehearse impossible relations of ideas, complementary contradictions, insensibility as feeling and other singularities in the attempt to understand the incompressible: a bit like cubist art that aspires to simultaneously show all points of view, especially interiors Soon I will reach almost twenty published works. As for photography, vital in my creative systems, for me it is a kind of research tool in which the image obtained can be a trigger, a process or a result, but it is rarely an object autonomous, disconnected or merely aesthetic

Susanna has never looked for a problem, it
seems that the problems are those who look for her; He has even learned to
vanish during the break time. In this book that nobody would want to have to
write, Susanna tells us that she has some problems, in the form of class
"classmates", that can tear out the happiness of anyone. Fortunately,
there is always someone you can trust.
Not to do any spoilers, I just want to add
that, this "someone you can trust" is more than one ... even that
someone is not here form a long time ago much.
