«Una aventura inesperada. Una sutil telaraña de historias y palabras que fascina y envuelve, que te atrapa inadvertidamente, como le ocurre al niño que escucha boquiabierto un bello cuento. Un debut poderoso e inolvidable». --Rosa Montero
«Uno sale de su casa, cuenta historias, ríe y descorcha botellas de vino con quien accede a acompañarle. Así pasan los días, hasta que vemos nuestro reflejo en otros ojos. Las miradas de los demás son espejos que no cabe desestimar».
En un viaje nocturno en tren entre Londres y Edimburgo una mujer comparte trayecto con dos desconocidos con los que mantiene una conversación sobre sus respectivas vidas. Uno de ellos habla de su ambigua relación con un joven que le confesó una infancia difícil que marcó su vida. Poco tiempo después el hombre escribió una novela que se parecía demasiado a ese episodio. ¿Es ético escribir sobre lo que nos cuentan en privado? ¿Cuáles son los límites de la ficción? Esta historia cautiva a la protagonista y aviva sus propios recuerdos, así como la necesidad de saber qué pasó realmente con estos dos desconocidos. Nada más ilusorio indaga en los relatos que nos contamos, en el papel de la literatura y en la sutil línea que separa lo real de lo ficticio, y nos brinda una envolvente narración de traiciones, pérdidas y culpa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel about the dangerous power of storytelling.
An unstoppable literary phenomenon with rights sold in eight countries even before it was published.
"We go out, tell stories, laugh, and uncork bottles of wine with whoever agrees to be our companion. And so, the days go by, until we see our reflection in others' eyes. The gaze of others is a mirror we shouldn't underestimate." On a nighttime train journey between London and Edinburgh, a woman and two strangers pass the time by talking about their lives. One man recalls his ambiguous relationship with a young man who confided in him about his difficult childhood and its effect on his life. Not long after, the man wrote a novel that closely resembled this episode. Is it ethical to write about other people's private confessions? The protagonist of Pérez-Carbonell's novel is fascinated by this question, which compels her to examine her own memories and find out what really happened between the two men. Nothing Is More Illusive questions the stories we tell, the role of literature, and the fine line that separates reality from fiction while weaving an evolving narrative of betrayal, loss and guilt.

The "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle.
The "Just Step-In" Reality
Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.
The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style
The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch.
Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day.
The Sizing Gamble
Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes.
The Breakdown
The Pros:
True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed.
Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal.
Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer.
Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear.
The Cons:
Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit.
Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness.
Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale.
Value for Money
Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.

Step In Look Good
Size: 11.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
I am wearing these shoes as I write this review, and they look and feel great. I have a bit of a disability with drop foot on the right leg and bilateral neuropathy and have been wearing step in shoes for about 10 years. But the first company that introduced leather dress and casual shoes stopped making them and now only makes sport and casual shoes. So I have been searching for some that meet my need for shoes like this and this company has given me three pairs, so far. Easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and good looking. And they take polish very well, too. (Remember how to do that?). We may buy another pair or two in different styles as well.

Runs tight. Skinny and smaller than other brands.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Comfy and lots of support. Cushiony. Beware: the brown I ordered runs small. Tighter than other brands.
