Peces del aire altísimo
Read moreTitle Peces del aire altísimo Author Quirarte, Vicente Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667079 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 237 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The main idea of Peces del aire altisísimo is that poetry, as a vital impulse and ultimate vocation of a life, is not restricted exclusively to the texts of those who construct it with their incessant work. On the contrary, this inclination towards the construction of new corridors and rooms of our home that is language, extends into the daily life of every poet. Gilberto Owen, Carlos Pellicer, Luis Cernuda, Rubén Bonifaz Núño, Alí Chumacero and Efraín Huerta are some of the poets whose life and work are woven together by Vicente Quirarte in this book, to show that the daily choices, the poet's own habits and obsessions, as well as his vices and virtues, are not only the inexorable consequence of his personality, but extensions of his literary work itself; expansions of the prodigious worlds that they built with their pen. Thanks to the erudition of a committed and passionate reader, but also with the closeness and intimacy of a friend, Quirarte offers wonderful portraits of characters whose words have already found their place as the pinnacles of Mexican literature. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Retrofuturismos
Read moreTitle Retrofuturismos Author Yaszek, Lisa Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. 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 -

No contiene armonías
Read moreTitle No contiene armonías Author López Mills, Tedi Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851539 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 136 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis What does it mean to contemplate the world in a room full of everyday objects where cats, neighbors, social media, or furniture become a subtext for reflection on the real and imaginary? What lies at the intersection of morality, interpretation, absence, time, and existence itself? Divided into five counter-songs, No Contain Harmonies is a book that investigates the evolution of poetry, the use of language, consciousness, guilt, reality, and memory. From reflections on the use of conscience as a shield to debates between poets on political issues and subsidies for poetry, a rhapsody on the word "compass" or intimate scenes and introspective moments that mix philosophy and poetic images, this collection of poems by Tedi López Mills tries to inhabit, from what remains in the words, the nature of an existence where the dividing line between reality and imagination begins to fade, where dark forces seem to attack human intelligence. With a language devoid of flourishes, the voice that runs through No contains harmonies forces us, with ironic melancholy, to rethink our place in the world, which is also the place we inhabit through words. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

El encarguito
Read moreTitle El encarguito Author Sheridan, Guillermo Publisher Trilce Ediciones Imprint Trilce Ediciones ISBN 9786078745036 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages – Format Digital THEMA Language and Linguistics Synopsis This work brings together the chronicles that Guillermo Sheridan published in the magazine Letras Libres between 1999 and 2006, and some that have appeared in the newspaper Reforma. A deeply rooted custom and inextricable usage that speaks to the Mexican confusion about the uses of affection, the "encarguito"—thing and message, object and symbol—is an elaborate form of nightmare. The choice of the object to be commissioned falls within what in the theory of Mexican identity is known as "ocurrencia" or "detallito" (little detail), a phenomenon that consists of applying ingenuity to the meticulous concoction of a nonsense. foreign rights contact Déborah Holtz E-mail deborah@trilce.com.mx -

The former passes away days after the premiere of his Sixth Symphony (Pathetique), giving rise to controversial theories on the cause of death —cholera or suicide?—, a dilemma that we try to elucidate here. Puccini, in turn, survives a serious automobile accident, to die years later in an emergency hospital in Belgium, far away from his homeland and friends, without finishing his last opera: Turandot. foreign rights contact Alejandro Cruz Atienza E-mail a.cruzatienza@colnal.mx -

Otro día…

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667093 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 104 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In 1977, the Voyager probes were launched into outer space. Inside, the Golden Record carries sounds and images of life on Earth, waiting to be found and deciphered. On the other hand, a hundred years ago, José Juan Tablada published Un día… (poemas synthetics), an advanced and subtle artefact composed of haikus and illustrations made by the poet, in which nature is shown as the muse of avant-garde writing. Simple as a gesture, but complex in its implications and references, Otro día… (poemas synthetics), by Verónica Gerber Bicecci, is an exercise in crossings and rewritings that contrasts with the figure of the muse to make a sharp testimony of our present and a deep questioning of the future: a time that may have ceased to be ours. At the same time, it allows us to think about what kind of memory we leave about ourselves and imagine poetry as a satellite, a vestige that could be interpreted by a new civilization. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764709 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Nefando revolves around a video game from the Deep Web; a digital enigma that has caused a scandal for containing images that dislocate all morals. As an investigation, the novel is built with testimonies from those involved in the creation of the game: a Spanish programmer, two Mexican literature students and three Ecuadorian brothers, all living in the same apartment in Barcelona. In this way, different plots unravel to reveal stories whose wounds remain raw: nonconformity with biological gender, an abusive father, an overprotective mother. As a complement to this complex narrative framework, the writing of a pornographic novel by one of the characters finds a place in Nefando: in it, two sadomasochistic teenagers –Diego and Eduardo– find in Nella, a new student at the boarding school where they live, the accomplice and challenge of their desire. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Ciudad fantasma
Read moreTitle Ciudad fantasma Author Esquinca, Bernardo; Quirarte, Vicente Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667390 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 288 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Like most Mexicans, we grew up listening to ghost stories. Whether it was our grandmothers, aunts or older siblings, their conversations and anecdotes recreated a nearby world, as mysterious as it was intangible. In our formative years, literature deepened this sentimental education, because ghosts teach us that the hardest thing is to learn to let go, to let go of the things we have lost. Mexico cannot be explained without its relationship with the supernatural. If the first thing the Conquistadors heard when they set foot on these lands were tales of terror, without a doubt the last thing that will be heard before the final cataclysm, in the empty and relieved streets, will be the chorus of souls. Ghost Town is a love letter to Mexico City. To all its vicissitudes, enigmas and legends, because a city is made up of its revelations, but also by the secrets it holds. It matters little whether this set of "events" is true or false: if they feed the imagination, then they are more vital than History itself. At the end of the day, when we turn off the light and go to sleep, the facts are not as necessary as our ability to dream. We are convinced, like the authors mentioned in these pages, that ghosts - and all creatures of the night - make this world a more habitable place. Without them, reality would be too simple, too obvious. They are mirror and shadow. They show without showing themselves. They teach with wisdom: Ghosts tell us where we come from, and where we are going.

It is not a history of philosophy from the phenomenological point of view, nor is it a search for “proto-phenomenological” authors. Rather, it is a broad exercise that integrates works in which some of the theses of phenomenology are discussed, dialogued and confronted with some of the peaks of the history of philosophy. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851188 Edition number 2 Publication year 2024 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Between 2003 and 2006, the corpses of elderly women appeared in lonely rooms in Mexico City, victims of a particular cruelty. One of the most venerated symbols of the Mexican idiosyncrasy had become prey to an elusive anger. With authorities incapable of putting a stop to this succession of murders, indignation and fear spread throughout the city. Thus arose the legend of the Mataviejitas, an entity created by crime news and urban folklore as responsible for the mysterious crimes. Faithful to his most notable obsessions, and without fear of exploring new narrative territories, Bernardo Esquinca returns to dissect this peculiar media phenomenon. Through the voices of various characters involved in the case – an obsessive criminalist, a gluttonous investigator, ambitious police agents, a committed crime reporter – the Mexican master of terror constructs an ambitious and ferocious polyphonic novel thanks to which we also learn the story of Chana Barrera, the woman behind the legend; an enigmatic wrestling fan who, after seeing all her hopes shattered, decides to undertake one last, brutal attempt to avoid ending up, herself, surrendered on the canvas. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

La sombra del sol
Read moreTitle La sombra del sol Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456240 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Escrita como una obra de teatro en la que los actores improvisan y crean una atmósfera que se va tornando opresiva y por momentos delirante, La sombra del sol explora los rincones oscuros de la condición humana. En esa puesta en escena el director, Eugenio Cortina, lleva al extremo su idea de que “el teatro es una mente y nosotros los intérpretes de un drama que jamás acabaría aun cuando estallara el mundo”. La sombra del sol, parte final de la trilogía iniciada con Nostalgia de la luz y continuada con El libro de las pasiones, deslumbra con la prosa y el oficio de Mario González Suárez para crear situaciones y personajes intensos, algunos tan ridículos como el gerente del supermercado, que aun en esas circunstancias –la llegada del apocalipsis– defiende con celo inaudito los intereses de la empresa y emprende el inventario de lo que se va consumiendo. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

André Breton once said that Mexico was the country of choice for black humor. He was not exaggerating. And contrary to what they say out there, literature also proves him right: from José T. de Cuéllar to Jorge Ibargüengoitia, to mention the classics, several national writers have successfully resisted the onslaught of "serious literature". foreign rights contact Estela Ruiz Torres E-mail estela.ruiz.torres@grupo-sm.com -

Historial clínico
Read moreTitle Historial clínico Author León Plascencia Ñol Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456639 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 144 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis A lo largo de estas páginas, la poesía adopta numerosas estrategias para abordar su electrizante materia de trabajo: el testimonio y el apunte, el listado y el álbum fotográfico, e incluso el diagnóstico, la farmacopea y el acta de defunción. El canto bien temperado es sustituido por la visión febril, y la poesía se vuelve delirio: una vez abierto el surco, metáfora no sólo del verso sino de la herida, toma distancia de él, una distancia crítica y de foco. No de otra forma se puede, ni más ni menos, arar en el vacío. Historial clínico no sólo representa el libro más personal de Plascencia Ñol; integra, además, un deslumbrante capítulo de nuestra poesía elegiaca. Historial clínico se alza con derecho propio, con la victoria pírrica de quien afirma que “el lenguaje no está dicho”. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764716 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis What will social media and the devices we use to communicate and organize our lives be like in the future? In this collection of stories, Andrea Chapela masterfully narrates a future where a collection of devices such as sensory screens, pings, ansibles, contact lenses and profilers – many of them installed inside the human body – allow people to connect to a cloud, control their perceptions of reality, know other people's thoughts, share and "live" the experiences of others, as well as calculate the success of a romantic relationship or make calls that reproduce the physical presence of the interlocutors. Technology seems inseparable from human experience, from decision-making and everyday tasks; however, the protagonists of these stories, far from having their lives figured out, face love, breakups, the complexity of their family relationships and the search for their own identity while the limits of reality are increasingly less clear. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
