Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667222 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 445 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In Is There Life on Earth? Juan Villoro offers us a broad sample of his ability to analyze our present and manages to make sense of the untamed daily life when organized into a story. In these pages, the author analyzes the strange mystery of being Mexican, undertakes the arduous task of changing his mattress, develops a theory of mariachi, witnesses a confession by the Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oé, meets two turtles in the Dachau concentration camp, opens a suitcase that contains the pain of Republican exile, faces the enormous challenge of asking for a cappuccino and is mistaken for a priest. With Is There Life on Earth? Almadía reached one hundred published titles. Therefore, it was only logical to celebrate with a volume made up of one hundred stories characterized by addictive prose and a hilarious catalog of paranoias, misunderstandings, annoyances and illusions that make up daily life. Seven years after its appearance in our publishing house, and after the publication of two hundred other titles, we are pleased to see that Is There Life on Earth? remains one of the most sought-after titles in our catalogue, which shows us that there are and will continue to be new readers willing to search for the forms that life takes on Earth. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Baptized as Monica and sheltered by Rosy, a kind of adoptive mother, she feels fulfilled and learns the tricks of her new world: a place full of betrayals, happiness, euphoria and addictions. A couple of years later, Mónica will go from the security of hotels and inns to the hostility of the streets and the Jungle, the most sordid and unknown place in Tijuana. With her dry body and her mother's voice in mind, she manages to lick her wounds and return home. Her way back will be a viacrucis, the arrival, a blessing. All this, the true beginning. This body of mine is an honest and scatterbraines novel, full of humor and music, love and sisterhood, that still leaves space for pain and hatred. It is full of drugs, danger and hypocrisy; of oil injections, sequins and high heels; of sex on street corners, hotels and virtual spaces. Uri Bleier writes a novel that smells like the streets, tastes like the beach and sounds like cumbia; a story that his character gallops with all her fierceness and tenderness. «Uri Bleier investigates, listens, spoons and gathers each voice, each character, each scene. Pure sweet and bitter poison." -Sabina Urraca foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -
