Works[edit]

  • 2019. All this space (poetry, Prensas Universidad de Zaragoza). All this space is a collection of poems about the absence, not only of what once was and was not but also of the inherent emptiness of the human condition. It is an ode to nothingness, to the extinction and loss of both love and life, from acceptance and melancholy.
  • 2018. The dark mouth of the world (novel, Lacre) This novel was the winner of the Alejandría Literary Award in 2018. Synopsis: Since Vicente began his political career his goal had been the most ambitious: to become President of the Government. An only son and orphan from an early age, he had buried all sentimentality to become a skeptical and practical man. But the irony of life hits him again when, just before his dream is fulfilled, he is diagnosed with terminal cancer that disrupts his apparent stability. A stark novel that reflects the growth of increasingly savage loneliness at the end of life.
  • 2016.Notebook of Asia (poetry, Amargord). This collection of poems narrates the wild journey of a couple around Thailand, India, China, Vietnam, and Laos. Bill Murray once said "if you think you have found the person, travel with him around the world to places that are very difficult to reach and from which it is very difficult to leave. If when you return, are you still in love, get married at the airport." Taking the statement as a challenge, the couple starts their trip. "Notebook of Asia," tells the gradual degradation of the relationship.
  • 2016.Dolores-Manhattan (poetry, La Fea Burguesía). This collection of poems was Finalist of the Adonais Poetry Award. It is a journey through the cities of the biography of Ana Vidal Egea, from Dolores de Pacheco (Murcia), where the author grew up, until Manhattan, New York, where she has lived for several years. According to the author; "It is an autobiography narrated through poetry, it is divided into the different cities where I have lived and loved, each poem reconstructs a part of my existence"
  • 2012.Arctic Nights (novel, Baile del Sol). Starting from a real relationship, Arctic Nights narrates the relationship between a woman in love with a homosexual man and that same man who fights daily against his own mind. Using words, images, smoke, and music, they spend all their time building a story that, however, it cannot be consummated. An encounter that takes place for months in Finland, where snow, cold and fear of white accentuate the loneliness of the characters, that slowly destroy each other, unable to accept the impossibility of loving with the body.
  • '2010.The other Life' (short-stories Traspiés). In The Other Life, Vidal shows us that poetic prose is a powerful tool for narrating love and that it can microscopically describe our fears. The other life is a volume of stories where the human soul is stripped in each text, with a resounding, implacable, sensual look at times, cold others. Ana Vidal makes dissection of the relationships between people and the fuels that drive them: love and fear.
