In "Lovebook", il primo romanzo, è quello di una bambina di otto anni che vede un ragazzo e capisce che lo amerà per tutta la vita. In "Il teorema del tempo perso" è quello di un uomo in carriera che sniffa cocaina e passa da un'amante all'altra finché non arriva una donna a ridare colore e significato alla sua esistenza. Simona Sparaco racconta storie come queste, storie del nostro tempo. Il tempo veloce di "Lovebook" e dell'amore nell'epoca di internet, in cui, nonostante tutto si consumi in modo rapido e bulimico, può sbocciare lo stesso un sentimento intenso e sofferto, capace di attraversare gli oceani.
E poi ci sono la concitazione e la follia di "Il teorema del tempo perso", in cui la frenesia spazza via ogni cosa, e solo lo sguardo di una sconosciuta può far battere il cuore al ritmo giusto. Per la prima volta raccolte in un unico volume due romanzi, due storie vere, semplici e complicate come l'amore, che non smetteranno mai di farci sognare.
"Il teorema del tempo perso" è stato precedentemente pubblicato nella collana "Anagramma" con il titolo "Bastardi senza amore".
SURVIVING DIVORCE: A Divine Love Story " ‘A Divine Love Story’ is not a subtitle you expect to find for a book describing the aftermath of divorce.
Divorce seems like the very antithesis of a love story. But when I think about that incredibly difficult time; the one thing that stands out most as I look back, is the enduring love and tenderness of my Lord. Therefore, although this book alludes to the end of a love story between a man and a woman, it also marks a new beginning. The beginning of me recognizing that the God I served was not just up in the sky looking down, an absently benevolent God. He is ‘El Roi’ The God who sees me (Genesis 16:13). I came face to face with a God who is caring and present in all the vicissitudes of life – just as interested in the life-altering events as He is in the small details. A love story is about as true a description as I could give to my experience because it accurately describes the kind of attention and care and unconditional love that every girl dreams of finding in a lifelong partner; and it portrays the fledgling romance that began there on my knees as I poured out my broken heart...." Divorce can send you into a tail-spin down into the depths of despair, but you don't have to stay there After her 16-year marriage ended, Simone Miller went through an intense period of distress and anguish even while crying out to God for relief.

Tracking and killing demons is all part of the job for the Hand of God, Victor McCain, God's bounty hunter. In this fast paced sequel to The Hand of God and The Watchers, Victor learns facing his inner demons may be deadlier than the real ones. Turning to the bottle to drown out the memories of a lost love, he begins to take risks which could get him killed. One night, drunk and alone in a bar in Tennessee, he's ambushed by members of the Church of the Light Reclaimed.
He would have died in the attack, if not for a beautiful stranger named Elizabeth. Later he learns the attack was orchestrated by an old nemesis, Preston Deveraux, and Cyrus Tyler, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives. Victor must lean on the alluring Elizabeth to find the truth behind their plans-only she has secrets of her own which could doom them both. When yet another player shows up on the scene hunting Elizabeth, Victor must find a way to convince the two of them to work together to help him stop Tyler from reaching his ultimate goal: to throw the world into chaos and war.
A imagem de uma orelha descomunal bem poderia ser o emblema deste livro. De fato, ele parece ser o resultado de um ouvido absoluto para as vozes deste mundo e, de certo modo, até do outro. O partido compositivo – tão próprio aos impasses da modernidade – derevolver nas falas mesmas a realidade social e histórica que se deposita, como sedimento, na linguagem vai, aqui, a sua potência máxima. O livro é, assim, o lugar no qual, como em ondas de linguagem, essas vozes todas, múrmuras ou veementes, vêm quebrar. O rumor que então se levanta, engrossado do eco de tantas falas, emanadas de tantas vidas, faz sua atmosfera e clama aos céus por um sentido. Em vão, que o céu está vazio. Em um gesto de infinita piedade, o livro recolhe o imenso vozerio e seu clamor, porém não mais pode resgatá-los nem lhes dar um destino: com uma ironia dolorida e isenta de malignidade, pode apenas endereçá-los aos “Santos Anônimos”, patronos de uma inacreditável capelinha, cuja imagem verídica o leitor – ele também um “Santo Anônimo” – encontrará ao lê-lo.
Verificamos, então, que esse livro tão difícil de se classificar pertence, afinal, à grande família do romance, que, como se sabe, abriga a busca decepcionada de todos os desamparados do sentido, os exilados da pátria transcendental. Um romance-limite,no entanto, porque as falas de que é tecido ameaçam formar grupos temáticos e tramas subjacentes, ao mesmo tempo que se esgarçam em todas as direções. Ficamos pensando se é um romance em formação ou em decomposição, para logo descobrirmos que é um romance que se faz desaparecendo, ou que se forma suprimindo-se – linhagem tão central quanto ignorada nas letras brasileiras. Essa estrutura paradoxal, de si tão abstrata, que tem na morte seu ponto de fuga, acolhe aqui, entretanto, a exalação de um mundo bem determinado – o da grande comarca interiorana (caipira, melhor se diria), que se estende por São Paulo, Minas, Goiás, pedaços do Mato Grosso e do Paraná. Suplantado por um mundo que, pior que ele, não o redimiu nem transcendeu, esse dificultoso mundo caipira, meio rural, meio urbano, às vezes no limite do surreal, encontra-se agora em vias de desaparição. Em as visitas que hoje estamos, tudo o indica, ele dá o seu último suspiro. José Antonio Pasta
