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.

Who hasn't played with it, trying to capture and contain it? To eliminate its mutability and make it permanent? This desire, which could well be described as universal anthropological, is the theme explored and dissected in each poem that makes up Inalterable luz, a book that can rightly be described as luminous, for light is contained within it and emanates from it to remain unalterable in the reader. foreign rights contact María Fuentes E-mail edicion@vasoroto.com -

El vértigo horizontal
Read moreTitle El vértigo horizontal Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764761 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 456 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Convinced that Mexico City may not be the most advisable region to live in, but also that it is so intricate and exciting that it is impossible to leave it, Juan Villoro proposes this book written from the devotion of the recalcitrant and amazed urbanite that unfolds like an infinite puzzle: the shortcuts, the wrestling movies, the national heroes, the Tepiteño commerce, the government paperwork, the enigma of the tire repair shops, the countless crowds, the consumption of chili, the ancestral temples. The author also narrates certain autobiographical passages, such as the last walk with his grandmother or the memory of the neighborhood of abandoned houses where he grew up. With an attentive gaze and a firm pulse, Villoro unfolds as a journalist, passerby, pen buyer, nostalgic adult, responsible father, emergency brigade member, and offers us a testimony of the multiple adventures that the city has in store for each and every one of its members. Whether from his own experience or through listening to and investigating other people's realities, Juan Villoro composes a great fresco of the endearing and eternal chaos that makes up the country's capital. The space in which nothing fits anymore, but nothing is ever left over: Chilangópolis. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

At the same time, the cavern is the magical archive of all rites, all dreams, all stories: the cavern is the origin of literature and, by going back to it, we return to its most resistant form and to all its branches. In this book we find characters haunted by ghosts, but also those which, when they reach the other edge of their lives, end up becoming spectres themselves. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

In headless times like current ones, without laws or mythologies, the author offers this rigorous and delicate fable of a wild animal, in danger of extinction, called Country. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Formas de vida en el barrio Zen de Palermo Author Ferdinando Fava Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593238 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 358 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis It deals with a stigmatized suburban neighborhood of Palermo (Italy) that has been the object of political and urban planning projects. The author confronts the logic of stigmatization to the point of dismantling the images that configure the “strangeness” of its inhabitants, a neighborhood populated by “savages”, without faith or law, submerged in promiscuity and anomie. These imaginary walls, daily constructions of the media and of institutional and socio-political devices, weave ruptures and abysses, crack personal identities and present individual trajectories as failures. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
Los culpables
Read moreTitle Los culpables Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667123 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 145 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis When I started working with Almadía, almost three decades ago, they already conceived their collections as a gift for readers. Los Culpables was the first book I designed for them, in 2007. I thought of a graphic proposal that would surprise: the challenge was to bring the colorful, tactile, and artisanal atmosphere of Oaxaca to paper. I knew I had the opportunity to do something different in terms of graphic design. I read the book and had a lot of fun; the stories are short and have an exceptional sense of humor. Talking with the team, we agreed that the emblematic image on the cover should come from the phrase “It was the iguana’s fault,” which opens the fifth story in the book, “The Mayan Twilight.” The double cover of Los Culpables started a double game that survives to this day. At that time, Juan Villoro commented that just as the iguana changes its skin, Almadía’s books are skinnable and the shirt is a second skin that reveals the secret image on the cover. I took a risk with the design because Almadía was open to change. Perhaps the shirt die is the most daring one we have ever printed: the reptile was too big and in the first edition the “second skin” was very fragile. Since then, this work has been reprinted and reissued many times, becoming the one with the most readers in the history of the publishing house. From the first reprint, I modified the design and added a branch that runs through the body of the sauropsid to give greater resistance and strength to the cardboard. To celebrate its seventh anniversary, Almadía published a commemorative edition of this same work in large format, hardcover and illustrated by me. These drawings are tangential glances at Juan’s funny stories. It seemed to me a cacophonous gesture to bring images that are described in the story to the graphic, so I preferred to represent scenes that perhaps could have happened, turning the images into satellites of the author’s narrative universe. In this third edition and eighth reprint, the emblematic lizard lives more discreetly on the cover, and the fact that I wrote the little text you are reading right now is also, without a doubt, the fault of the iguana.

To conclude, the text deals with the limits of consumption, an issue that opens the work, reaching the understanding that there are clear limits to consumption, which are civic, moral and affective. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

One bad day he falls in love with Dorothy: an American stewardess whose voice we never hear, but we fear for her as if she were our friend or our mother, because in this collection of letters, the dirty, crude, annoyingly real writing of Francisco Hinojosa speaks through that false poet as the worst scoundrels of the country speak: those men who think that women are theirs; who commit violence without guilt or care because they live the privileges of an unpunished country, and who perceive government positions as simple pastimes. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764952 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In this novel, the extractive past and present of the Amazon are intertwined within the framework of a disturbing and lysergic environment. Fleeing from scandal, the protagonist of this story takes refuge in a laboratory where an enigmatic investigation is being carried out. With the intention of creating the most advanced virtual reality video game, a team led by the charismatic Dr. Dunn seeks to reproduce the hallucinogenic effects of an ancient plant known as “sky wing.” A duel of shadows soon begins in which it is difficult to discern who has more to hide. Perhaps only the mythical wing can guide the way out of this labyrinth of illusions. In The Gaze of Plants, Edmundo Paz Soldán manages to amalgamate a wide series of literary motifs to formulate urgent questions about our time, in which the seductive power of screens seems to trap us with their promises of satisfaction and plenitude. Dystopia and fantasy literature are enveloped by the dense foliage of the jungle – that fragile titan in danger of disappearing – to take to the extreme the minds of beings that wander through this world with their wounds open, raw. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Convinced that these disasters should be told with the most representative voices involved, Villoro took the stories of his fellow earthquake survivors and built a concert of impressions that is not lacking in suspense or absurdity. “After reading this heartfelt and vibrant book, one might think that the author did not tell the whole truth: 8.8 was written with fear still in the skin, and perhaps in that secret lies its extraordinary power.” -Leonardo Tarifeño foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Read moreTitle Todo lo que amamos y dejamos atrás Author Elisa de Gortari Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara ISBN 9786073851152 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 296 Format Printed THEMA Fiction: Traditional stories, myths and fairy tales Synopsis Grijalva is a reporter in a world that has gone backwards. In the middle of the 21st century, the Earth has acquired similar rings to those of Saturn after a cataclysm that extinguished electric light and melted the soul of transistors and circuits of all the devices on which humanity relied. Accompanied by her stepson, Grijalva travels to Tamarindo, a town in Veracruz where children suffer from a rare disease: they speak and behave like they are someone different from who they were, possessed by distant and painful stories. The need for an explanation is urgent. There are signs that delirium can be contagious—and disturbing to authorities. As the investigation moves forward, the story reveals what happened to the planet twenty years before, when young Grijalva was in love with her music teacher, and her father, a digital emanation in a meticulous virtual world. What we love and leave behind is much more than an amazing science fiction novel. With intimate and precise language, Elisa de Gortari has written one possible shipwreck, but most importantly, a secret love letter to all the things that give meaning to us: from music and poetry, to the brilliance of the first times and the various, sometimes arduous, ways of taking care of and loving ourselves. foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -

At a Lacrimosa concert in Budapest he meets three young men from Sarajevo: Edin, Kemal and Draga. Draga is not only possessed by the music, but the combination of Metal and the night brings her back to life. Then everything happens dizzily: a kiss, a long sleep, confusion, hunger for blood, an oracle, an intensified sense of smell. Pieces that, back in Mexico City, Fulvio will have to put together, entering the world of goths, darketos and other urban groups, not all of them harmless. foreign rights contact Estela Ruiz Torres E-mail estela.ruiz.torres@grupo-sm.com -
Mar negro

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667369 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 186 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis For a time I lived near the pyramids of the Templo Mayor. I walked every day through the streets of the Historic Center, paying attention to the signs. I am convinced that Mexico City wants to tell me stories, and that destiny is palpable in the stories of Mar Negro: the most emblematic building on the Eje Central called upon its different avatars in "Torre Latino", the eternal FOR RENT sign on an old building made me imagine the secret history of the city in "Like two drops of water falling into the sea"; a helpless neighbor and his suspicious attitude led me to invent a double life for him in "The Blind Man"; the Plaza de las Tres Culturas and its bloody past suggested a just revenge, in zombie style, in "The Other Night of Tlatelolco". Apart from my obsession with the place that once housed the Great Tenochtitlán, there is much more in these pages. Mutant creatures that thrive in the shelter of the Bacalar lagoon; A pair of twins connected to Neil Armstrong and the dark side of the Moon; a woman determined to revive her dead lover at any cost; a collector of haunted dolls who receives a mysterious gift; and a vampire who escapes from his grave in the Bulgarian town of Sozopol. This last reference to the Black Sea represents for me the spirit of the book: a state of the soul where the supernatural is possible. An extension that, above all, is located within the mind; in the superstitions and abysses created by the imagination. To understand it, it is necessary to swim in the depths of these waters.

If his previous book, Antinaufragios, invited to a vital celebration in spite of the disasters of History, Palabras ojos raises, from a different but also anti-nihilist perspective, the possibility of a true life. A praise of the imagination and the experience of poetry, shared with the reader. foreign rights contact María Fuentes E-mail edicion@vasoroto.com
