  • Title Nuestro mundo muerto
    Author Colanzi, Liliana
    Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V.
    Imprint Almadia
    ISBN 9786078764877

    Synopsis With great force and a very particular violence, Liliana Colanzi places the reader on the threshold of several worlds: the earthly and the fantastic, science fiction and indigenous idiosyncrasy, memory and nightmare. Making her stories mechanisms in which rural songs and testimonies of ethnographic studies operate, the Bolivian author constructs atmospheres in which there is always a longing - whether for home, childhood or even our planet - that is the product of the encounter with that which seems foreign to us, but where what is longed for contains at the same time illness and poverty, mystery and death. Thus, the magic of exoticized Latin America is replaced by the crudeness of the Colony and extractivism, by fanaticism and superstition. A woman on a colonization mission on Mars, someone waiting for her lover in a Paris hotel, a young man possessed by the murderous impulse of a Mataco Indian, are some of the characters that inhabit these stories, in which fantasy dissolves into terror and suspense. With this collection, the reader has the opportunity to witness the emergence of one of the most powerful voices from the south of the continent on the Mexican literary scene.

    Synopsis When I started working with Almadía, almost three decades ago, they already conceived their collections as a gift for readers. Los Culpables was the first book I designed for them, in 2007. I thought of a graphic proposal that would surprise: the challenge was to bring the colorful, tactile, and artisanal atmosphere of Oaxaca to paper. I knew I had the opportunity to do something different in terms of graphic design. I read the book and had a lot of fun; the stories are short and have an exceptional sense of humor. Talking with the team, we agreed that the emblematic image on the cover should come from the phrase “It was the iguana’s fault,” which opens the fifth story in the book, “The Mayan Twilight.” The double cover of Los Culpables started a double game that survives to this day. At that time, Juan Villoro commented that just as the iguana changes its skin, Almadía’s books are skinnable and the shirt is a second skin that reveals the secret image on the cover. I took a risk with the design because Almadía was open to change. Perhaps the shirt die is the most daring one we have ever printed: the reptile was too big and in the first edition the “second skin” was very fragile. Since then, this work has been reprinted and reissued many times, becoming the one with the most readers in the history of the publishing house. From the first reprint, I modified the design and added a branch that runs through the body of the sauropsid to give greater resistance and strength to the cardboard. To celebrate its seventh anniversary, Almadía published a commemorative edition of this same work in large format, hardcover and illustrated by me. These drawings are tangential glances at Juan’s funny stories. It seemed to me a cacophonous gesture to bring images that are described in the story to the graphic, so I preferred to represent scenes that perhaps could have happened, turning the images into satellites of the author’s narrative universe. In this third edition and eighth reprint, the emblematic lizard lives more discreetly on the cover, and the fact that I wrote the little text you are reading right now is also, without a doubt, the fault of the iguana.

  • Title A cada cual su cielo
    Author Fabio Morábito
    Publisher Ediciones Era

    Edition number 1
    Publication year 2020
    Pages 120
    Format Printed
    THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry
    Synopsis A cada cual su cielo is written, in a way, against the idea of importance. Minimal situations acquire an unexpected superiority: the poet has expanded his method of looking at things in such a way that he can’t find considerable differences between them. The feet of Turkish women; bed sheets hung up at the rooftop that free us from the idea of God; the consent to lose a tooth for each well-written poem are some of the glimmers that strike the poet from different angles, forcing him to dig every time in a new direction to find meaning in his life.

    THEMA Violence and abuse in society
    Synopsis Osorno captures something more than the simple resistance of those who suffer the attacks of the Violent Mexico: the heroic dimension of those who decide to oppose impunity; the individual, lonely feats of the people that fight against the current to salvage what still hasn’t succumbed to the shipwreck. El valiente ve la muerte sólo una vez is a homage to the courage of a few inhabitants of Northern Mexico that, despite adversities, have known how to maintain dignity even if that means they could lose their prestige or their life
