C'est pourtant ce qui lui est arrivé, et voilà que maintenant, il est un super-héros, un super-héros qui se fait quand même virer de son travail et dont la petite amie décide de « faire un break »... Heureusement, le voisin de Javier, José, l'aidera à utiliser ses pouvoirs pour faire le bien, à cacher son identité secrète, surtout auprès de sa petite amie journaliste qui enquête sur Titan, le mystérieux super-héros... C'est important, d'avoir un bon voisin.

"Ambiciosa, sólida, arriesgada: vuelve Sara Mesa con una novela en la que las pulsiones más insospechadas de sus protagonistas van emergiendo mientras la comunidad construye su chivo expiatorio. La hiistoria de Un amor ocurre en La Escapa, un pequeño núcleo rural donde Nat, una joven e inexperta traductora, acaba de mudarse. Su casero, que le regala un perro como gesto de bienvenida, no tardará en mostrar su verdadera cara, y los conflictos en torno a la casa alquilada -una construcción pobre, llena de grietas y goteras- se convertirán en una verdadera obsesión para ella. El resto de los habitantes de la zona -la chica de la tienda, Píter el hippie, la vieja y demente Roberta, Andreas el alemán, la familia de ciudad que pasa allí los fines de semana- acogerán a Nat con aparente normalidad, mientras de fondo laten la incomprensión y la extrañeza mutuas. La Escapa, con el monte de El Glauco siempre presente, terminará adquiriendo una personalidad propia, oprimente y confusa, que enfrentará a Nat no solo con sus vecinos, sino también consigo misma y sus propios fracasos. Llena de silencios y equívocos, de prejuicios y sobrentendidos, de tabús y transgresiones, Un amor aborda, de manera implícita pero constante, el asunto del lenguaje no como forma de comunicación sino de exclusión y diferencia. Sara Mesa vuelve a confrontar al lector con los límites de su propia moral en una obra ambiciosa, arriesgada y sólida en la que, como si de una tragedia griega se tratara, las pulsiones más insospechadas de sus protagonistas van emergiendo poco a poco mientras, de forma paralela, la comunidad construye su chivo expiatorio"--Amazon.com. Ambitious, solid, risky: Sara Mesa returns with a novel in which the most unsuspected drives of its protagonists emerge while the community builds its scapegoat. The story of Un amor takes place in La Escapa, a small rural town where Nat, a young and inexperienced translator, has just moved. His landlord, who gives him a dog as a welcome gesture, will soon show his true face, and the conflicts around the rented house - a poor construction, full of cracks and leaks - will become a true obsession for him. The rest of the inhabitants of the area - the girl in the store, Píter the hippie, the old and insane Roberta, Andreas the German, the city family who spend there on weekends - will welcome Nat with apparent normality, while mutual misunderstanding and strangeness beat deep down. La Escapa, with the Mount of El Glauco always present, will end up acquiring a personality of its own, oppressive and confused, which will confront Nat not only with his neighbors, but also with himself and his own failures. Full of silences and misunderstandings, of prejudices and misunderstandings, of taboos and transgressions, Un amor addresses, in an implicit but constant way, the issue of language not as a form of communication but as exclusion and difference. Sara Mesa once again confronts the reader with the limits of his own morality in an ambitious, risky and solid work in which, as if it were a Greek tragedy, the most unsuspected drives of its protagonists gradually emerge while, from In parallel, the community builds its scapegoat.

With the Hegel Lecture 2010, held by Homi K. Bhabha, the Dahlem Humanities Center is launching the Open Access publication of the series. In his talk, Bhabha evokes the spirit of Hegel in an attempt to understand contemporary issues of ethical witness, historical memory and the rights and representations of minorities in the cultural sphere. Who is our neighbour today? What does hospitality mean for our times? Why is the recognition of others such an agonizing encounter with the alterity of the self? The lecture examplifies how the "Third Space" - one of the key theories of Postcolonialism - helps us to establish a new understanding of cosmopolitanism and hospitality in a globalized world, based on the right of difference in equality.
