Philologist and former member of the Congress of Deputies for En Comú Podemos, Mar García Puig (Barcelona, 1977) surprised a lot with his first book, The history of vertebrates –which received the Ciutat de Barcelona Award in the essay, humanities, and history categories–, where she openly shared her experience with the little-explored connection between motherhood and mental health. Two years later, the Barcelona-born author has captivated Marta Orriols with his second book, This is so scary, published, like its predecessor, by La Magrana.

Philologist and former member of the Congress of Deputies for En Comú Podem, Mar García Puig (Barcelona, ​​​​1977) surprised a lot with his first book, The history of vertebrates –which received the Ciutat de Barcelona Award in the essay, humanities, and history categories–, where she openly poured out her experience on the little-explored alliance between motherhood and mental health. I was captivated by its stark sincerity and because it was filtered through the lens of her literary training, and the result was a very balanced combination of sanity and rapture, between stark experience and thoughtful awareness.
