Tom Hiddleston and Oye Sherman: what you can't miss this week

The week ahead, with Jordi Garrigós

Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I will listen To feel fulfilledThe first single from Minibús Intergaláctico's second album. The band from Girona remains deeply rooted in the psychedelia and post-punk of the eighties, delivering a song of chiaroscuro and sunglasses. Indebted to majestic bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, and Velvet Underground, they are one of the most original and brilliant names on the current Catalan music scene.

I'll go let's see Hey Sherman Time Tuesday at Espacio Texas. From the prolific generation of Catalan comedians who have normalized comedy shows in Catalan, she's among the most ingenious. An expert at delving into words and subtle details, she always finds an unexpected, funny, and absurdly clever conclusion. Also, on 3Cat you'll find the show she filmed on May 7th at El Molino.

I will read Charity of the RiverPep Brocal's novel, which won the first ARA Prize for Catalan Comics, is published by Garbuix Books and follows the life of the mother of Ramon Mercader, the man who drove an ice axe into Trotsky's head. A staunch communist, Del Río presents us with a controversial figure and a life riddled with half-truths and lies.

The week that is ending, with Thaïs Gutiérrez

Notes on what we have seen, heard, tasted and, in short, experienced in the last seven days

I bought the book The summer Mom had green eyesAfter several friends recommended this novel by Tatiana Tibuleac, published by Amsterdam, I decided to begin reading this story of love and death told through the protagonist's memories. These memories take him back to the last summer he spent with his mother in France, when he was a teenager trying to cope with the loss of his sister and feeling overwhelmed. Critics have hailed it as one of the most important debuts in contemporary European literature.

I have recovered the series The night managerStarring Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman, the series had a sequel released this year. Before watching this continuation, I wanted to revisit the original 2016 series, based on a John le Carré novel, which tells the story of a hotel worker who becomes involved in a British government mission to capture an arms dealer. Although that story had an ending, we now find the main character again, who in this season travels to Colombia, where he will participate in a counter-narcotics operation.

I've had dinner At Xanc i Meli, a small restaurant tucked away in the narrow streets of the Farró neighborhood in Barcelona, ​​you'll find a perfect spot for a quiet meal—they have very few tables—in a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy quality dishes. Their patatas bravas are famous throughout the neighborhood, but they also offer more elaborate options based on Catalan recipes and made with locally sourced ingredients.

I haven't been able to stop thinking Among the stories and anecdotes emerging from the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, one of the most talked-about has been that of Norwegian skier Sturla Holm Laegreid. After winning the bronze medal, he staged a dramatic apology to his ex-girlfriend for cheating on her. Some found the spectacle tender and touching, while others suggested it was a manipulative strategy that placed the woman in the media spotlight under immense pressure to forgive the repentant skier. Indeed, more than an apology, the scene was a... red flag By the book.
