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'."

Part of it, it is true, but it reaches many other places. Not only because of a question related to Pepe's travels, but because of that emphasis on understanding language as an end in itself that still has a utilitarian nuance foreign to Pepe, the need to understand it as a feat of possibilities, many of them still unexplored.

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851614 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis With whom and why do we form our deepest bonds? Where are the words that speak of life after the death of a body we love? And how do we deal with absence? In Isabel Zapata's first novel, the observation of details that we sometimes call poetry and the precision of the words of those who have explored silence coexist delicately, as if on an altar of language. Divided into halves that are like two sides of the same coin, Troika tells the extraordinary relationship between a girl and her dog, the story of a woman who travels to another city to find work and try to survive the mourning with her dead, and how their lives become fatally intertwined. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Una ballena es un país

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667864 Edition number 2 Publication year 2020 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In this collection of poems, Isabel Zapata advances along the path of what I will call the ethics of consideration: the ability to take into account the experience of others and act accordingly. While some of us are barely testing this terrain—David Foster Wallace wrote a chronicle to consider lobsters and I wrote a long time ago a consideration of manatees—Isabel Zapata has immersed herself in this ethics with an entire book of animal considerations. At the beginning, regarding shark eggs, she recommends: “Consider their violent geometry,” and in this verse resonates the tiger that William Blake also considered long ago. In A Whale Is a Country, Zapata considers cetaceans, felines, rhinoceroses, pets, and extinct beasts. I see in this book by Zapata the seed of a new heterodox humanism, a humanism that, in the recognition of our animal condition, unites us with the beasts and plants that our voracity is ravaging. I recognize myself in each of these poems, because they give voice to the desire, more human than any other, of not being left alone in the world, isolated, furious and repressed.

Antología de Enrique Dusse. La Filosofía de la Liberación
Read moreTitle Antología de Enrique Dusse. La Filosofía de la Liberación Author Dussel Ambrosini, Enrique Domingo; Bautista Segales, Juan José; Colmenares Lizárraga, Katya Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786078683628 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 992 Format Printed THEMA Critical philosophy Synopsis This anthology shows the fundamental thesis of the Philosophy of Liberation as a thinking that arises from a locus enuntiationis (place of enunciation) located in the exterior, on the geopolitical, cultural, economic, political, military periphery of the global South, with an active position in living in a dependent, neocolonial world. As an act of decolonizing rebellion, the Philosophy of Liberation observed in dominated peoples, excluded from modern civilization—and, therefore, from its thought—the opportunity to display a broader horizon than that of mere Eurocentrism. Starting from world history, Dussel situates philosophical thinking from the otherness of the Other, nothingness, non-being, “the widow, the orphan, the stranger” (as Hammurabi describes them in his Babylonian code of law) and the poor, an alterity from which criticism can be made of any system (economic, political, epistemological, philosophical, gender, cultural, racial, etc.) that closes on itself. Dussel is inspired by his favorite authors (Latin American and European, from Salazar Bondy or Freire to Sartre or Heidegger, including Hinkelammert, Levinas, Zea, Ricoeur or Benjamin) and subsumes them in a new decolonizing and critical discourse. The result is not only a new vision of world history, but also new philosophical categories that are refined, specified, as the debates, the years, and the existential places from which one thinks. The intercultural interpellation of indigenous peoples is strengthening the original theses of the Philosophy of Liberation. This work is dedicated in memory of Dr. Juan José Bautista (+2021), who left us too soon, and his wife Dr. Katya Colmenares who prepared this anthology and wrote its introduction. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -

André Breton once said that Mexico was the country of choice for black humor. He was not exaggerating.

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 -

It is the touching space of childhood, that brightens and incessantly lays down a vital spot. But it is mostly the place of natural wonder, described with talent, always marked by fine rays of light, sparkles and reflections that covers it, simultaneously, of a sharp clarity and a just as sharp certainty of fleetingness. As in this space, in this garden, this life is supported by the roots of death. This book was translated into Italian and published by Edizioni Kolibris in 2015 foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
