Talk on Sue Grafton's Y is for Yesterday, Casa Orlandai, Barcelona
On Wednesday 2 December 2026 at 19:00 the Centre Cívic Casa Orlandai in Barcelona hosts the talk Y de yesterday, on the novel by Sue Grafton. It belongs to an autumn cycle marking fifty years since the death of Agatha Christie, exploring how crime fiction evolved from the classic puzzles Christie made a reference to the reinterpretations of contemporary women authors. The cycle is organised by Tina Angrill of Tusquets. According to the listing, Sue Grafton takes the legacy of the classic mystery novel into contemporary American noir. With the detective Kinsey Millhone, an independent and complex investigator, she replaces grand theatrical effects with a more realistic and psychological search, without giving up the pleasure of the puzzle. The result is presented as a modern update of Christie's model. The general price is 3.28 euros. Prior registration is required, through the centre's website or in person at the house, and places are limited. A book talk like this is easy to enjoy alone, since readers come to share their opinions on the same author. «Sue Grafton recull l'herència de la novel·la de misteri clàssica i la trasllada al "noir" nord-americà contemporani.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

The listing gives the general price as 3.28 euros, with prior registration required and limited places.

El porqué de los perdidos, Auditori Sant Martí, Barcelona
On Sunday 13 December 2026 at 18:00 the Auditori Sant Martí in Barcelona presents Hop Sant Martí a Escena with the show El porqué de los perdidos, by Akira Yoshida. The listing describes a lost character who wanders with few memories of his past and reaches a light in the middle of nowhere, looking for answers in an existence that seems to have lost its meaning. In this bare place surreal events begin to happen: the space itself seems to have a will of its own and plays with him, drawing him into traps and tricks as if in a game of chess. The listing adds that the character does not yet realise that the real struggle is against himself. Entry is free, but tickets must be reserved in advance, and they are released between 10 and 15 days before the show via the centre. A single seat at a performance like this is easy to fill alone, since the audience is there to watch the same show. «Un personatge, perdut i sense rumb, passeja amb escassos records del seu passat.» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:00.

The listing gives free entry with ticket reservation required.
Host a game night
No table near you? Set one up in a minute.
Create a free invite (pick the Game night template), share the link, and the people who say yes bring the snacks. This is the whole host kit:
- A public table — a café, a bar's back room or a library room beats your living room for strangers.
- Two or three short games that take one minute to explain; save the four-hour epic for later.
- Cap it at 4–8 players per table and say so in the invite.
- Beginners welcome, in writing — it is the line that gets newcomers to say yes.
- Fixed end time, two to three hours, so leaving is easy and coming back next time is too.
