Malversaciones
Read moreTitle Malversaciones Author Bravo Varela, Hernán Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667086 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 144 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The least that can be demanded of an essayist is ingenuity in constructing analogies, elegant memory, a significant arsenal of references that are not entirely outlandish, although they are of an unexpected mold, and, crowning it all, an educated lust for prose. Hernán Bravo Varela conquered these virtues from his youthful writing. Now, with Malversaciones, he gives us eighteen essays of early maturity where the joy of the boy and the disenchantment of experience alternate and caress each other until they merge into a single and delicious breath, a drift that draws from the prose poem as well as from anecdotes, erudition, the little note in verse, literary criticism and the chronicle. Divided into four sections – Mexican poets; foreign authors; places and themes and practices of the poetic; The most beautiful final reflection on the ethos, praxis and politics of art, Malversaciones weaves a praise of deviation and madness, of the staging of corruptibility as a possible refuge for human descendants, of the cry as song and reflection, of hubris and cowardice as practices of the sublime, and it does not shy away from either the elegiac rage at the murder of the poet Guillermo Fernández or the self-parodic tenderness of a failed poetic-terrorist-adolescent attack against Jaime Sabines. It does all this, moreover, as an exhalation: a brief succession of lashes of lucidity, a –these are the author’s words– “patrimonial declaration”, a sort of freehand self-portrait of the reader as prince and beggar of the world.

Historia mínima del tequila
Read moreTitle Historia mínima del tequila Author José María Murià Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075646275 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 171 Format Print and digital THEMA History and Archeology Synopsis “Tequila has no history, there is no anecdote that confirms its birth”; such is the statement made by writer Álvaro Mutis in the text that serves as an extensive epigraph to this book. In search of that anecdote that would trace the path followed by “the most Mexican of drinks,” the author of this work has been rummaging through archives and libraries since 1970 to offer readers practically everything that has been clarified on the subject, from the most remote times to the present day. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764990 Edition number 3 Publication year 2022 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The pre-Hispanic remains of Mexico City, once the scene of extreme rites of a faith that we still have trouble understanding, are turned into crime scenes by a fanatic who seeks to restore the greatness of the great Tenochtitlan. The enormous metropolis suddenly pulsates to the rhythm of an ancient song that awakens a past of oppression and resistance, of integration and disagreement; the bloody trace of the clash of two worlds. After spending days living as a homeless person to write an investigative piece, Casasola, a reporter for Semanario Sensacional, is driven to follow the trail of The Ritual Killer. Elisa Matos, an archaeologist, hostage to an impulsive and chaotic love life, becomes an indispensable ally during his investigations, but also the object of his desire. Banished gods who refuse to die, characters determined to understand an enigmatic and distant past, authorities who suspect everyone. This novel has already become a classic of Mexican crime fiction in which crime, horror and fantasy literature come together in a thriller full of emotion and suspense. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

La región crepuscular
Read moreTitle La región crepuscular Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. 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
