Somewhat labored ( no pun intended) look at the town of Marinaleda in southern Spain (Andalucia) a hold out against Spain's mainstream political landscape. More Anarcho-syndicalist, making it a throwback to the 30's but also proving to be very relevant in the political dynamic of Indignados movement.

Author of "Gomorrah" takes a look at the larger issue of drug trafficking through its most persistent product, cocaine. Savianos style may be quirky to some but given its length and breadth I found it well worth the read.
