Ciudad fantasma
Read moreTitle Ciudad fantasma Author Esquinca, Bernardo; Quirarte, Vicente Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667390 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 288 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Like most Mexicans, we grew up listening to ghost stories. Whether it was our grandmothers, aunts or older siblings, their conversations and anecdotes recreated a nearby world, as mysterious as it was intangible. In our formative years, literature deepened this sentimental education, because ghosts teach us that the hardest thing is to learn to let go, to let go of the things we have lost. Mexico cannot be explained without its relationship with the supernatural. If the first thing the Conquistadors heard when they set foot on these lands were tales of terror, without a doubt the last thing that will be heard before the final cataclysm, in the empty and relieved streets, will be the chorus of souls. Ghost Town is a love letter to Mexico City. To all its vicissitudes, enigmas and legends, because a city is made up of its revelations, but also by the secrets it holds. It matters little whether this set of "events" is true or false: if they feed the imagination, then they are more vital than History itself. At the end of the day, when we turn off the light and go to sleep, the facts are not as necessary as our ability to dream. We are convinced, like the authors mentioned in these pages, that ghosts - and all creatures of the night - make this world a more habitable place. Without them, reality would be too simple, too obvious. They are mirror and shadow. They show without showing themselves. They teach with wisdom: Ghosts tell us where we come from, and where we are going. Bernardo Esquinca and Vicente Quirarte. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
La piel insomne
Read moreTitle La piel insomne Author Montiel, Mauricio Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667468 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 256 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The selection of stories that make up La piel insomne is, in the author’s words, a kind of director’s version, a settling of scores with certain texts written and published between 1987 and 1993, and which were originally included in the books Donde la piel es tu tibio silencio, Páginas para una siesta húmeda and Insomnios del otro lado. In addition, the final section, “Bonus tracks”, brings together five stories that appeared in periodical publications or anthologies, but which have not been collected in books. Montiel Figueiras dared to venture down the paths of revision and rewriting, to reorder the index of a book that tells us about his first years as a narrator, a time when he already demonstrated a writing fluency and a literary ability that have led him to occupy a prominent place among the authors of his generation. These stories display the prose that characterizes the writer's work: a sinuous reality plagued by labyrinths, threatening or sensual presences that threaten to change the world, plots that lead us to discover the darkness that inhabits every thing and being that inhabits the universe. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Morir de tiricia y carcelazo
Read moreTitle Morir de tiricia y carcelazo Author Sylvia Arvizu Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078805167 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Crime and mystery: hard-boiled crime, noir fiction; Reportage, journalism or collected columns Synopsis Sylvia Arvizu spent 15 years in jail. She wrote two books about her experiences there and the cases of her inmates. Her life has offered her powerful anecdotes, but also put her amidst stories that she has learned to share with talent and sensibility through a wide range of narrative forms. Polishing and sharpening them has made her win an important literary price with one of her first books as well as with this one, where beside the stories of incarceration also appear those of her freedom on parole, which start just when the lockdown for the Covid pandemic was implemented in her city. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -
