No soy tan zen
Read moreTitle No soy tan zen Author Montelongo, José Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764914 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 224 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I'm Not So Zen is an existential comedy whose protagonist is caught up in a struggle between words and things. A strident internal battle takes place in the mind of Julián González, a cultural journalist, as he tries to pay attention to a string quartet that seems endless. The protagonist wants silence but life is stubborn and noisy and intrudes, and there are tacos and seafood and corn gorditas with green sauce and a lot of work and a lot of hurry. In a world like the one we live in—inside and outside the novel—it is not fair to remain silent, although, sometimes, accessing silence is just what we need. To accompany us on this journey of self-knowledge, a motley catalogue of characters circulates through the narrative: a tenor with a remote serenade service, a woman who gets lost for years inside a library, a Dionysian and erudite veteran of cultural journalism, a husky dog with a contemplative temperament. With this entertaining novel, José Montelongo offers us a concise satire of the cultural environment and the fauna that inhabits it, while inviting us to pay attention to the music of everything that surrounds us. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Juan y sus sombras

However, their routines are altered by strange and inexplicable events. At first, they are insignificant and even go unnoticed, but they intensify until they create an overwhelming atmosphere. The story of this family, similar to many that inhabited northern Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s - told in a realistic style that describes their environment and customs - takes a turn that reveals the dark causes of these enigmatic events, which only the most daring temperaments will endure. foreign rights contact Estela Ruiz Torres E-mail estela.ruiz.torres@grupo-sm.com -
Examen extraordinario
Read moreTitle Examen extraordinario Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667659 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 312 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis A mariachi with serious identity conflicts, quarrels between writers that go back to bellicose youthful encounters in writing workshops, emails sent from somewhat uncertain planes of existence, the countercultural odyssey of a father to ingratiate himself with his daughter, multiple modalities of that variation of masochism known as romance, the anthology Examen ejemplar, prepared by the author himself, condenses the techniques, strategies and narrative motifs of one of the most outstanding literary careers of today. More than a gesture of triumphalism, this volume has a desire for a second chance. The stories gathered here await a second encounter with the reader, the final arbiter of all literature. But this revenge is not granted due to any failure, but as confirmation of the qualities of an extraordinary pen. The vision of the chronicler, the scope of the novelist, the subtle ability to move the playwright: the arsenal of resources of an author as unique as Juan Villoro is presented in this volume to an extraordinary examination in which, without a doubt, the one who will come out ahead is a genre that does not allow distractions: the short story. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Todo lo que amamos y dejamos atrás
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
