La octava plaga
Read moreTitle La octava plaga Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764488 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 232 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis When the idea for The Eighth Plague began to float around in my head, one thing was clear: its protagonist would not be a conventional detective. I came from the world of journalism, where I trained as a writer for many years; the vicissitudes of reporters and the atmosphere of newsrooms were familiar to me, so it seemed like an act of congruence for Casasola to have that profession. However, I never worked in crime fiction, something I would have loved; having my journalist in charge of covering the police beat was a settling of scores: that, among other things, is what literature is for. I also knew that I wanted to mix genres: reality has never been enough for me to put together the stories I want to tell. Although it was a rarity in the tradition of detective novels, especially in the one made in Mexico, my novel would fuse a police plot with the supernatural. The Motel Killer, the fantastic entity that Casasola faces, behaves like a praying mantis: she decapitates her lovers during sexual intercourse. Finding out why she – and apparently the rest of humanity – acts like an insect is the subject of a mystery with apocalyptic overtones. But there was something else: Casasola had to look like me and, therefore, he would be an exile. He had to go from the culture section of the newspaper where he worked to the crime section: a universe unknown to both him and me. A path that we would travel and discover together. In the end, we had such a good time that The Eighth Plague became a saga. Mexico City is the ideal setting because, as we already know, in its streets and nooks and crannies the strange and chilling are part of the landscape.

What is behind the lavish celebrations dedicated to their deities? From the experience of the O'dam people of northern Mexico, life is seen as a debt to the gods who granted it. To maintain it, human beings repay them through an elaborate ceremonial, observing arduous abstinences such as fasting and the ritual action of shamans, their privileged intermediaries. This book explains the process of shamanic initiation and describes the character of the various ancestors with whom humans engage in relationship and negotiation." foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667383 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 236 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The first thing I could say about Orlando Malacara - the character who gives order and chaos to this novel - is that his favorite pastime is hiding. I couldn't even say it's a pastime, but something more important or transcendent: a necessity. He finds pleasure in hiding and spying, and when he appears in public he does so with the sole purpose of pretending to be a normal person and not arousing suspicion. He takes his modesty to unhealthy levels and his main hobby is hanging around from the window of his house, located on the edge of the Tacubaya neighborhood: a curious way of observing the movement of the world. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

When the sun sets, these things undergo a literal and metaphorical metamorphosis that pushes us unto a suffocating fear. These events should only be whispered, so as not to summon something terrible.

Although all countries in the region experienced a similar initial phase, linked to the reproduction of the American rock scene, the development of each type of rock music is deeply connected to the forms that modernization took in each society in the 1960s: contradictory and varied modernizations, related to “regularly exceptional” political histories. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

Las vigilantes
Read moreTitle Las vigilantes Author Elvira Liceaga Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Lumen ISBN 9786073826662 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 280 Format Printed THEMA Narrative theme: Social issues Synopsis After spending a few years abroad, Julia returns to Mexico. She settles in her mother's house, Catalina, chasing the traces of her past as a way of finding herself again. Upon her return she meets with Silvia, a young pregnant woman who lives in a foster home waiting for the moment she has to give birth and hand her son to other parents. The three women mirror each other in a way that places the reader in front of some of the great questions that assail us all, such as our relationship with that origin that is signified in the mother figure, and caring for others, from time to time somewhat in a vigilant way. Subtle and clever, Liceaga's prose asks who we are in the rupture of everyday life... and searches deeply to caress our wounds. The critics say: "Anchored in the bond of sisterhood, this book suggests that a woman's journey to writing involves a return to herself. It is a solitary return no more, but a luminous fury reaching a moment of highest purity in the collective harangue. This is what Julia, who has undertaken many trips to get closer to writing, discovers and she finds out that the most important question is lodged in the body other woman, in the silence she comes from and the silence she is headed to." Andrea Cote "A stranger in her own house, the narrator wants to bring order into chaos with her writing but present, past and future farewells bring her back to orality and margins, where she meets other women going through different processes and duels. The guardians of this beautiful novel live in me, because there are no heroines or epics, but hope in small gestures. 'Here are survivors and embroidered complicity'."

Poesía eras tú
Read moreTitle Poesía eras tú Author Hinojosa, Francisco Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667192 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I once had a company (I was the boss and had only one employee) dedicated solely to publishing a literary magazine. One of the things I did frequently was fill out power of attorney letters. At that time I went out to buy them at the stationery store, until one day it occurred to me to capture it on my computer and, when necessary, print it. Towards the end of 2007, in a moment of leisure, I reread that document that almost all of us signed without fully understanding the legal terms it contained (“dilatory and peremptory exceptions,” “auctions,” “interlocutory and definitive matters,” etc.) and I decided to compose a love “poem” with those words as a solitary game without the purpose of publication. In June 2008, I was invited to a writers’ meeting in San Luis Potosí. To conclude, we participants were asked to read something from our work. Each one would have a maximum of three minutes. Of course, the poets had plenty to choose from. A writer of short fiction could have read his complete work, but we, the narrators, were left defenseless. Then I remembered that the “poem” entitled Carta poder was on my computer. I transcribed it on a sheet of hotel letterhead and read it. Some of my colleagues liked the game and there was even someone who asked me to give them the manuscript. Back in Mexico City, I asked myself: And who is she, the recipient? From that question was born Poesía eras tú. Francisco Hinojosa foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Retrofuturismos

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851522 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 240 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis How much does our present resemble the future imagined by the writers of the last century? Does enthusiasm or caution regarding the use of technology persist? Have our problems changed, or is it that our dreams, fears and wounds remain? Under the title Retrofuturisms, the second installment of the collection The Future is Woman! brings together stories written between 1931 and 1966 by Sonya Dorman, Leslie F. Stone, Elizabeth Mann Borgese, Margaret St. Clair, Leigh Brackett, Carol Emshwiller, Rosel George Brown, Leslie Perri, Katherine MacLean and Andrew North, which allow us to explore the tensions between the future and the past through stories in the purest pulp style, centered on adventures in space. The first alien civilization that won a war against humans; a species of extraterrestrials that comes to Earth to share its knowledge but faces a violent and racist human population; a hunting dog in the middle of an existential dilemma on a frozen planet; Space travelers who contract strange diseases; a genderless civilization that disguises itself to coexist with humans; mothers who must maintain harmony between their children when a child from another planet joins their carpool; reckless women who do not hesitate to perform heroic acts in space. These stories demonstrate that science fiction writing is a great exercise in empathy. The writers in this collection imagined new worlds based on understanding and solidarity with other beings, perhaps based on knowing themselves to be representatives of a certain otherness in their time. The stories contained here reaffirm that moving the conventional center of the stories we tell not only refreshes our narratives, but invites us to move our own center and thus glimpse new discussions and ways of living in community. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Planetas habitables
Read moreTitle Planetas habitables Author Diaz Castelo, Elisa Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851409 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Each reader is a world, and if we pay enough attention, so is every entity that surrounds him: the chair that supports him, the lamp that lights up his reading, the book he holds in his hands, the tiny nematode that flies over his head. Between each of these worlds, an incessant exchange takes place, an affective and material economy that transforms them. There are even encounters between them of such violence that we can think of them as collisions, great impacts that generate new worlds, with unprecedented links and flashes. In Habitable Planets, Elisa Díaz Castelo traces, thanks to a writing in which the words of science take on an unexpected sensuality and the subtleties of life spread the pleasure of irony, a meticulous map that seeks to account for the intricate network of connections deployed around us at every moment. If today there are those who think that, in the face of the announced disaster, the solution is the search for new worlds, in this collection of poems we are invited to find in language the reasons to keep habitable the singular complexity that shapes us and of which we are a part. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

La panza de Tepozteco
Read moreTitle La panza de Tepozteco Author José Agustín Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara Juvenil ISBN 9786073820899 Edition number N/A Publication year 2022 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Fiction: Traditional stories, myths and fairy tales Synopsis The fantastic adventure that some children undertake when they enter a secret cave in Tepozteco celebrates 30 years. Excited because a long weekend is approaching, Homero, Tor, Érika, Alain, Selene, Indra and Yanira decide to go to Tepoztlán to rest. There they meet Pancho -a local boy- who invites them to climb Tepozteco, but on a not so usual path, which will take them to the heart of the mountain where they will learn, first hand, about pre-Hispanic mythology and many of its customs. The presence of the children and their entrance into the sanctuary will unleash a struggle between deities: some, like Tonantzin, will seek to protect them, while others will try to sacrifice them, leaving behind the teachings of Quetzalcoatl. José Agustín narrates the adventures of the protagonists with great ease: his agility in narrating their adventures, intertwining them with the ancient world, is surprising. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz
