Pantano
Read moreTitle Pantano Author Felker, Ana Emilia Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851706 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In the United States, the border does not end at the violent and hyper-surveilled riverbed of the Rio Grande; checkpoints persist within the territory in school hallways, on freshly cut grass where flags wave, in hospitals and in the kitchens of homes, in the parking lot of a Walmart. In the midst of the unprecedented increase in Latin American migration, attempts to contain it are intensified when racism and hate speech demand to be heard. In this scenario, Ana Emilia Felker decides to live four years in Houston to study for a doctorate. She knows that it will be difficult to feel at home in this country where war and death are negotiated with nationality and debt, but this land is also the place of origin and residence of half of her family. Setting out on a journey across water, desert, and highways, she questions how much the American dream costs, what defines whiteness, how to talk about mass shootings while respecting the dignity of the victims, while helping her grandfather sort out his stories and trying to reestablish with her father a conversation that seems stuck in the past. Through chronicles, essays, and personal diaries, Ana Emilia proposes a writing that is as intimate as it is rigorous to think about identity, question racism, and tell what happens when loved ones are separated by walls that cut across space, time, and desire. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Ansibles, perfiladores y otras máquinas de ingenio
Read moreTitle Ansibles, perfiladores y otras máquinas de ingenio Author Chapela, Andrea Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. 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 -
Asesina íntima
Read moreTitle Asesina íntima Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. 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 -

Historia mínima del rock en América Latina
Read moreTitle Historia mínima del rock en América Latina Author Abel Gilbert; Pablo Alabarces Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646763 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 324 Format Print and digital THEMA History and Archeology Synopsis For the authors of this book, the history of Latin American rock intersects failed modernization processes with states of political exception. 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 -

El asedio animal
Read moreTitle El asedio animal Author Londoño, Vanessa Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764471 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In Hukuméiji, a town located in the north of Colombia, near the Don Diego River and the Caribbean Sea, the characters in the four stories that make up this novel are stripped of parts of their body—their tongue, hands, legs, eyes—they suffer the death of their loved ones, and they have even been stripped of their land or crops; that is, they suffer the mutilation of the different parts that make them up. Thus, the body becomes a system to explain loss, so that the author weaves a writing that embodies the pain and ravages of violence exercised by power anywhere in the world. Likewise, nature—present in the stories through the jungle, plants, crops, or torrential rains—links human bodies with the territory: violence is executed on bodies and land in an analogous way. If, as journalist Ana Teresa Toro says, in Latin America “the body makes culture, the body thinks, articulates and gestures ideas, manifests history in a forceful way, it is not a mere consumer or a product, it is an idea and a concept”, El asedio animal participates in the current conversation that links, for example, the struggles of women and indigenous peoples with the care of the land and the protection of natural resources, as part of the same process that considers bodies – individual, collective, natural – as territories of resistance against an economic system that seeks to manage life, death, flesh and its desires. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
