Prosas de guerra y esperanza: Efraín Huerta en “El Popular” (1939-1944)
Read moreTitle Prosas de guerra y esperanza: Efraín Huerta en “El Popular” (1939-1944) Author Ugalde Quintana, Sergio Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667437 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 592 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis During the years when the threat of the extreme right was taking on a global scope, the public scene in Mexico was disputed between the progressive faction affiliated with the government of Lázaro Cárdenas del Río and a reaction that opposed his policies and did not hide the sympathy that the fascist regimes of Europe inspired in it. In accordance with the demands of the times, the young poet Efraín Huerta did not hesitate to appeal to a “moral, psychological and aesthetic” definition of the artist or the intellectual. It is not surprising, then, the combative tone of many of his contributions to the newspaper that the Cardenistas founded to counteract the attacks that the media conglomerates launched against his government: El Popular. In the not inconsiderable universe of these spaces, until now forgotten by literary historiography and which are presented in this necessary volume, the different facets of a fundamental trajectory for Mexican letters can be read. Although it would seem that political commentary was the main driving force behind Huerta's pen in these columns, they also have room for a diverse spectrum of registers and interests: popular speech, urban spaces, literary reviews, among others. Of all the scenarios outlined in Huerta's more than one thousand one hundred contributions to El Popular, two stand out for their centrality: on the one hand, the political denunciation of world and Mexican fascism; on the other, the response of poetry - and of literature and art in general - to this overwhelming reality. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Señales distantes
Read moreTitle Señales distantes Author Vásquez, Antonio Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667963 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 163 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In “Prima materia,” a young acolyte suffers from a strange illness – or curse – due to which his body slowly takes on the texture of a rock. In “La jaula,” the gift that a suitor buys for a girl is rejected, which turns it into a symbol of failure. A Mexican tourist is taken by a young Japanese woman to her small coastal town, where they will take an unexpected role in an ancestral rite, in “El sueño de la esposa del pescador.” “Señales lejanos” tells the story of a mother who is looking for her missing daughter. In “Insomnio,” a man is kidnapped after a sleepless night; his memories let us know that his sleepless nights have a tragic origin. In “Déjà vu,” a woman and her writer husband find themselves trapped in a time loop. “Gestación” tells the story of a young couple who work in a pozolería to guarantee the material support of the child they are expecting; Here, the child and the raw material of his work end up coinciding in a terrifying way. “Gnossienne” has as its protagonist a musician made a prophet by a post-apocalyptic humanity that does not know noise. Finally, “Rebis” is an intense mystical journey full of hermetic allusions. Antonio Vásquez surprises us again with his narrative mastery, this time with a book of short stories whose stories are intertwined with each other, like the sounds of an orchestra that amalgamate until they become an extraordinary symphony. The characters in these stories seem to assure us that where the deepest human pains and obsessions exist, its most fervent desires, a door opens for the extraordinary to take place. The fantastic in Antonio Vásquez's stories is not presented as a handful of magical acts but as a way of seeing and feeling the world, as the mythical thread that connects our intimate daily deaths and resurrections with the mystery of creation: the cycle of the origin of life and its inevitable destruction. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
