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'."

Pérez Sáinz examines how telework, automation, and digital platforms are transforming and precarizing labor. Algorithms act as invisible bosses, blending promises of efficiency with surveillance and control. This book is indispensable for understanding today’s digital work order, who benefits from it, and what alternatives might be built. foreign rights contact Gloria Negrete Rosillo; Rocío Martínez Velázquez E-mail gnegrete@sigloxxieditores.com.mx; rmartinez@sigloxxieditores.com.mx -

Moisés en la llanura
Read moreTitle Moisés en la llanura Author Xuetao, Shuang Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851324 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 160 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Covered in snow, under the shadows that characterize the margins that progress has forgotten to illuminate, and guarded by the gaze of a gigantic concrete helmsman, these two short novels transport us to a cold city in the northeast of China. There, a murder weapon revives the case of a series of murders that went unsolved, and a man drowning in debt decides to show those he has defrauded that they were not wrong to trust him. With a lacerating sobriety, the prose of Shuang Xuetao, one of the most celebrated young authors in contemporary China, interweaves times in which violence and disenchantment are the common factor: a past of social turmoil and rampant industrialization, a present of abandonment and the intermediate days in which utopia was transformed into fierce competition. This volume is the presentation in Spanish of one of the most exciting writings of the Asian continent, a work whose assimilation of the best Western literature shows us that, in the midst of the crudest realism, an overwhelming hope for a future without adjectives can emerge. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Drenajes
Read moreTitle Drenajes Author Rodríguez Landeros, Diego Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851003 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 168 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The essays in Drenajes form an intricate network through which various narrative flows tell, from multiple perspectives and treatments, the story of water in the basin of the Valley of Mexico. The unexpected link between the drainage channel that runs through the municipality of Ecatepec and a global publishing consortium, the actions of resistance that several towns in the Valley of Mexico sustained against attempts to accumulate water from ancient Tenochtitlán, the hunt for a mythical creature in contemporary Texcoco, the neoliberal disaster that has brought dispossession and contamination to our water bodies; the stories and characters that cross the restless currents of this book are palpable examples of the ways in which writing can be decanted into a political stance and of how fiction manages to provide clarity to the dark events of a murky history. With an extraordinary ability to build relationships, Rodríguez Landeros manages in each of these texts to surprise the reader with the discovery that, in effect, there is a secret thread capable of linking everything: an underground pipeline that unites the intimate waters of our homes with a lake past and the grandiloquent future of a chimerical national project. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

This will lead them to live a tragic love story.

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851829 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I could say that this novel is about Gregorio Cárdenas, the first serial murderer of modern Mexico, whose crimes shocked a country that was trying to leave behind the embers of the Revolution. But in reality it is something more: instead of just talking about the figure of the murderer, I was also interested in delving into the social context that fostered it, and that seems to be repeated today. In these pages there is an attempt to understand where the sexist violence that plagues Mexico comes from. Why were women forced to commit crimes in the 1940s? Why were there clandestine abortions that put the lives of dozens of girls at risk? Why do the chroniclers point out that it was a man –detective José Acosta Suárez– who caught Gregorio Cárdenas, when there was an agent, Ana María Dorantes, whose work was fundamental in the case, and who is now unjustly forgotten? Why are serial killers a cultural construct for which we are all responsible? This book is a portrait of that era known as the Alemanism, but it also involves the present in an important way, with the epidemic of feminicides that the State of Mexico is experiencing, where some of the bloodiest serial killers of recent years have been conceived. It is important to note that it is not pleasant to read this novel, but it could not be otherwise. The twilight region is precisely that place that we avoid turning around, because we believe that it is better not to see, to ignore what happens around us while the victims accumulate. 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.

Pedro Friedeberg
Read moreTitle Pedro Friedeberg Author Pedro Friedeberg Publisher Trilce Ediciones Imprint TRILCE ISBN 9786078745562 Edition number 2 Publication year 2023 Pages 448 Format Printed THEMA Arts, forms of artistic expression Synopsis An obsession with furniture and objects without a function detached from boredom, along with canvases of architectural fantasies perfectly overloaded and detailed to the point of including, most of the time in a single work, references to tantric writing, Aztec codices, Catholicism, Hinduism and the symbols of the occult, are the distinctive features of Pedro Friedeberg's eccentric and very peculiar style. More than 400 images and succinct articles written by specialists make up this book, which is read in laughter and causes addiction; where even the most rigorously documented texts are crossed by the cramp and breakdown produced by the life and work of this great international artist. foreign rights contact Déborah Holtz E-mail deborah@trilce.com.mx -

La comuna mexicana
Read moreTitle La comuna mexicana Author Bosteels, Bruno Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786078683710 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 320 Format Printed THEMA Socialismo y sistemas relacionados Synopsis Mexico, 1521; Paris, 1871. What these dates summarize are not only violent stories, marked by brutal repressions at the end of each episode, they also contain in their resistance a concern for the potential explosion of the common—an explosion whose political form would be, precisely, the commune. Beyond or here of the workers massacred 150 years ago, or the Aztecs killed 500 years ago, what this book proposes to build is a partial history of that underground tradition of communal rebellions in Mexico. Bruno Bosteels traces the survival of a social form whose aspirations, if we follow Marx's most cited texts, were embodied in the Paris Commune and verified in Russia. However, Marx also wrote about Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco, and based on these ethnological notes, Bosteels recovers a communal tradition that remained firm throughout the colonial era and was present in the Mexican Revolution. If the calpulli was its first form, experiences such as those of Morelos, Acapulco and Edendale, to Chiapas and currently Cherán, prove that in Mexico the communal, more than a suspended time or an exceptional moment, opens an expansive form that escapes what It is thought to be immovable: an obstinacy that, through multiple isolated outbreaks, traces its path as a political ideal. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -
Rosas negras
Read moreTitle Rosas negras Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454260 Edition number 1 Publication year 2015 Pages 201 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis One night, a fat, sensual, greedy man dines with his friends and suddenly, without moaning, he collapses over the table. His body is examined, pronounced dead, cremated and deposited in an urn. But his ghost lingers; however, it can’t travel at will since it is trapped in an electric lamp. That is the anecdote that serves as an excuse to involve us in the life of a small city during the Porfiriato dictatorship at the end of the 19th Century. This story features the pleasures of serialized novels and of ghost stories, with the always present capacity of Ana García Bergua to find the deep wisdom of the naïve, of the good people. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Miroslav, el vampiro
Read moreTitle Miroslav, el vampiro Author Pedro Aparicio Herrera Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316503510 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 272 Format Printed THEMA Horror & supernatural fiction Synopsis Miroslav, the vampire is a novel that breaks the stereotype of the character created by John Polidori and polished by Bram Stoker in his works The Vampire and Dracula. Here the central character is a being whose vital drives are his very essence: love, temper and desire. A work of action and suspense that contrasts scenarios separated by the fracture between life and death, passion and loneliness, cowardice and unfettered friendship, framed by the dazzle of sensuality, whether in the form of the affable tasting of an exquisite wine, the deepest meaning of affection or the delight of the female body: the perpetual salvation of the soul.
