Insomnio
Read moreTitle Insomnio Author Elsa Cross Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454611 Edition number 1 Publication year 2016 Pages 72 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis These poems walk from states of acute consciousness into foggy areas, go back into a fossilized time or fall into the underworlds of passion, violence and death, to finally rise up to the other shore where conscience itself, time and language vanish into light. With an ample range of formal resources and based on persistent consonances and alliterations, this poem’s rhythm keeps the thirteen cantos that compose the book within an almost classic form foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Solo somos sombras
Read moreTitle Solo somos sombras Author José, Pergentino Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851300 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In the midst of a smallpox outbreak that threatens to decimate the population of a Zapotec community, Lisnit and Néstor must fight to make their professed love for each other possible. Victims of state violence, the lovers deal with the traumas of the anger inflicted on their bodies and their memory. After Hormigas rojas, his celebrated collection of short stories, Pergentino José has written a first novel in which Spanish, inoculated from one language to another – Zapotec – acquires a unique vitality and rhythm. Built from ellipses and fragments, Solo somos sombras is a book about the opacity of memory, the veils that time runs over it and the fate of evanescence to which it condemns us. With a stylistic strategy as risky as it is precise, José offers us the contours of an intense plot; the shadow in which, thanks to its density and lyricism, we are able to recognize urgent issues for our societies: the colonial past, the displacement of entire communities for the extraction of natural resources, the annihilation of non-capitalist cosmogonies and the trauma of dispossession and misery that these processes entail. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Cameron
Read moreTitle Cameron Author Ronsino, Hernán Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667017 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 113 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Cameron, an elderly man with an artificial leg, has good reasons for not crossing certain precise boundaries of the city in which he lives. He spends his days contemplating the landscape, mountains, snow, a changing sky, and goes out for walks at night, sometimes to the pier, sometimes to the Jazz Club, sometimes to wander. One night, after a strange party and an early morning of which he remembers nothing, Cameron must take refuge in his neighbor Orsini's house, because the police are looking for him, although he does not know the reason. While he wonders what happened during the lost hours, the protagonist establishes a new relationship with his body and with the strange man who helps him. In this novel by Hernán Ronsino we find once again the Argentine region that the author has focused on mapping, one in which the past and the present are in permanent conflict, the stage in which individual identity and collective memory are played out. His narrative materials, volatile and enigmatic, sustain a tension that leads us through labyrinths of memory and perception toward the core of a mystery that reaches us to this day. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Alegorías capilares
Read moreTitle Alegorías capilares Author Rodríguez Blanco, Sergio Publisher Trilce Ediciones Imprint Trilce Ediciones ISBN 9786077663256 Edition number 1 Publication year 2010 Pages 160 Format Printed THEMA The Arts Synopsis Hair Allegories is a journey through the aesthetic universe that unfolds human hair as a material for art in the work of Mexican artist Gabriel de la Mora. Through his vibrant prose, Rodríguez Blanco guides the reader from Walter Benjamin's concept of allegory to Jacques Lacan's category of the real, from Julia Kristeva's abjection to Mario Perniola's sex appeal of the inorganic. Hair is revealed as a sublimated artistic material, as a receptacle for repressed desires, and also as a catapult to sinister places of memory. foreign rights contact Déborah Holtz E-mail deborah@trilce.com.mx -

Pantano
Read moreTitle Pantano Author Felker, Ana Emilia Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851706 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In the United States, the border does not end at the violent and hyper-surveilled riverbed of the Rio Grande; checkpoints persist within the territory in school hallways, on freshly cut grass where flags wave, in hospitals and in the kitchens of homes, in the parking lot of a Walmart. In the midst of the unprecedented increase in Latin American migration, attempts to contain it are intensified when racism and hate speech demand to be heard. In this scenario, Ana Emilia Felker decides to live four years in Houston to study for a doctorate. She knows that it will be difficult to feel at home in this country where war and death are negotiated with nationality and debt, but this land is also the place of origin and residence of half of her family. Setting out on a journey across water, desert, and highways, she questions how much the American dream costs, what defines whiteness, how to talk about mass shootings while respecting the dignity of the victims, while helping her grandfather sort out his stories and trying to reestablish with her father a conversation that seems stuck in the past. Through chronicles, essays, and personal diaries, Ana Emilia proposes a writing that is as intimate as it is rigorous to think about identity, question racism, and tell what happens when loved ones are separated by walls that cut across space, time, and desire. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
