    THEMA Children’s, Teenage
    Synopsis Jana is almost 10 years old and lives with her grandfather. For some time now, she feels as if she had stones of different sizes pressing her head. She even believed that stones would grow instead of hair. Now, this is nothing to worry about because, after her visits to the hospital, she doesn’t have a single hair on her head. With her grandfather’s support and a lot of courage, Jana faces her situation and hopes that the annoying heaviness goes away forever.

    THEMA Crime and mystery: hard-boiled crime, noir fiction; Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary
    Synopsis “This adrenaline-pumping novel subverts the purest noir genre, making Ámbar, a teenage girl, the executer of the revenge of the blood in her own way, turning completely around: from a possible victim of violence, to expert hand when it comes to taking over her own destiny. With Ámbar (Amber), winner of the 2022 Dashiell Hammett International Black Novel Award, Nicolás Ferraro has written a disturbing story about the affection between father and daughter, the horror of criminal life, and open wounds, both on the skin and on the conscience”.

    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.

    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'." Alejandra Moffat

    THEMA Social & cultural history
    Synopsis People of African descent, who came enslaved from Africa, were present in our territories from the very beginning of the conquest. Many were able to gain their freedom, others remained enslaved. They were also protagonists of the different processes of Independence that began to be experienced after 1810. Although historiography tends to take away the visibility of their presence, they are still there, and their existence brings us back to a series of questions that allow us to recover the original complexity of those events.

    THEMA Fiction and Related items
    Synopsis Pajarito works like a collector's cabinet, a display of small artifacts treasured for the uniqueness of their details, gathered according to a very personal taxonomy. Coat racks that are immense men, words that fall like shavings in a sawmill, trees that with their strength provoke the fury of the wind, a sea contained in a plastic bottle, sheets stained with secrets; with these elements, stories are told starring men and women whose character does not fit with the cold schedules of productivity and the routes they find to escape from it. They are vivid snapshots of loneliness and foreignness through which both the latent fatality in our lives and the capacity of language to endow it with other meanings appear. The stories in this collection find their greatest power in the irruption of a poetic imaginary in the details of the most routine everyday life. In their brevity and precision, they propose continuous escapes towards the territories of the lyrical and unexpected. There is in this book an insistent invitation to look around us with different eyes, to seek and put into practice the subtle – and often cruel – sensitivity of Claudia Ulloa Donoso.

    THEMA Political ideologies
    Synopsis To be fruitful, criticism must not attack a man, but rather work on ideas. The strength of the present analysis arises from the example that Atilio Boron (Buenos Aires, 1943) provides to his readers: the beauty in the discourse should not distract us from the approach or the arguments (if they exist). It is under this conviction that before us—and without anesthesia—a political dismantling is carried out with rigor and demand, at the level of a legend. Thus, with the intention of entering the core of Vargas Llosa, we start from his praise of the neoliberal system—of which he has become a great public defender—to discover a long-winded person close to power and its ideology, a disseminator hidden behind the branches of literature and the Latin American boom. Boron himself points it out: “Despite his elemental and tendentious handling of the categories and theories of political analysis, or perhaps due to the mastery with which he handles sophistry and 'post-truths', Vargas Llosa is a fundamental piece in the "massive device of 'brainwashing' and conservative propaganda that is so carefully practiced by the ruling classes of the metropolises and their henchmen in the periphery."

    THEMA Narrative theme: Coming of age
    Synopsis With luminous brazenness, First Blood settles in an unavoidable segment of literature: that of the novels of initiation or formation. Inaugurated by Goethe, this segment boasts works as disparate and splendid as The Hidden Hunter and The Rabid Toy, but it is scarce in heroines: adolescent women who - why not? who - why not? - are also in search of their identity and their destiny.

    Synopsis What do all the men and women who have won the Nobel Prize in each of their categories have in common? Many things: their immense curiosity to discover the unknown, their need to share their discoveries and that most of them had a childhood full of books and an eagerness to find answers to their questions. This book is born with the certainty that children all over the world, and especially in Mexico, are called to great things and we hope that they will find the necessary motivation when they learn about the stories of the characters narrated here.

    Synopsis In these disturbing stories by Diana del Ángel, the fantastic merges with the everyday in a powerful brevity that only the best storytellers can achieve. Thanks to forced meditations, useless institutions or million-dollar companies that sell the unthinkable, we get closer to the terrifying presence of mystery in everyday life. As a sample of the discourses that exist outside, Periferia brings together the voices of the incomparable: here yogis, bosses, healers, public transport, academics and hitmen have something in common. They reveal with severity and irony the great contradictions of modern cities; what we are letting pass, what is already beyond our hands and what those who study humanity in the future will say about us—if the world survives.

    Synopsis What can science fiction be about, skeptics ask, mariachis in space? Maybe, but those are not the kind of stories you'll find in this book. Although the first work of Mexican science fiction dates from 1775, perpetrators of the subgenre have had to publish their work from the margins. With rare exceptions, the storytellers of the imaginative have formed a ghostly guild. To disseminate the work of this strange guild, illustrator and writer Bef offers us here a handful of his favorite Mexican stories inscribed in the so-called speculative fiction.

    THEMA Violence and abuse in society
    Synopsis Tenancingo, a small town in Tlaxcala, is known for being one of the epicenters of human trafficking not only in Mexico, but of the whole world. From there, entire families of pimps have spread their million-dollar business throughout Mexico and a good part of the United States. Mexican governments have done little to dismantle these networks, suggesting corruption and complicity with those who practice this sadistic trade. But some of these criminals have fallen. In this thorough investigation Juan Alberto Vázquez tells the story of five clans of padrotes who have been tried in New York courts. Their violent beginnings, their methods of recruiting vulnerable girls and women, their extortions, their criminal psychology. At the same time, the testimonies of female victims of this crime and their difficult path to integrate into society, the efforts of activists to confront trafficking, the legal ambiguities in which white slavery traffickers operate. Undoubtedly, Los padrotes de Tlaxcala is a hard and heartbreaking book that shows the perverse side of the consumer society, whose machinery has created a market for sexual slavery.

En estas páginas, Sánchez de Tagle nos regala, a manera de íntimos ensayos, una perspectiva muy personal sobre qué somos en el universo, pero jamás de manera conclusiva: muy atinadamente el autor, quien no pretende dar respuestas, acerca desde su óptica la única realidad tangible; somos ignorantes de dónde estamos y a dónde vamos, pero no por eso debemos dejar de vivir y agradecer a la vida cada bocanada de aire, así seamos como peces fuera del agua.

It seeks to understand the ontology of excess, characteristic of neoplatonism and the phenomenology of donation, through the proposal of a possible language of saturation. This project follows the footsteps of two great milestones of Christian neoplatonism: Dionysius Areopagite and Nicholas of Cusa.

    Synopsis How does the baby's body begin to organize itself in order to get to know its environment? What role do others, objects and movement play in the development of the body schema? The importance of the study of infancy within Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology lies in the desire to unravel the very genesis of our perception. In dialogue with the works of Jean Piaget and Henri Wallon, Merleau-Ponty analyzes child development from a perspective that considers the material conditions that surround the child and the bonds that they establish with their caregivers as defining elements of their being in the world.
