Nada me faltara
Read moreTitle Nada me faltara Author Molina, José Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667284 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 288 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The place of José Luis Molina Robles in the world of poetry does not necessarily have a relationship with Mexican poetry. Part of it, it is true, but it reaches many other places. Not only because of a question related to Pepe's travels, but because of that emphasis on understanding language as an end in itself that still has a utilitarian nuance foreign to Pepe, the need to understand it as a feat of possibilities, many of them still unexplored.

Otro día…
Read moreTitle Otro día… Author Gerber Bicecci, Verónica Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667093 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 104 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In 1977, the Voyager probes were launched into outer space. Inside, the Golden Record carries sounds and images of life on Earth, waiting to be found and deciphered. On the other hand, a hundred years ago, José Juan Tablada published Un día… (poemas synthetics), an advanced and subtle artefact composed of haikus and illustrations made by the poet, in which nature is shown as the muse of avant-garde writing. Simple as a gesture, but complex in its implications and references, Otro día… (poemas synthetics), by Verónica Gerber Bicecci, is an exercise in crossings and rewritings that contrasts with the figure of the muse to make a sharp testimony of our present and a deep questioning of the future: a time that may have ceased to be ours. At the same time, it allows us to think about what kind of memory we leave about ourselves and imagine poetry as a satellite, a vestige that could be interpreted by a new civilization. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Poesía eras tú
Read moreTitle Poesía eras tú Author Hinojosa, Francisco Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667192 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I once had a company (I was the boss and had only one employee) dedicated solely to publishing a literary magazine. One of the things I did frequently was fill out power of attorney letters. At that time I went out to buy them at the stationery store, until one day it occurred to me to capture it on my computer and, when necessary, print it. Towards the end of 2007, in a moment of leisure, I reread that document that almost all of us signed without fully understanding the legal terms it contained (“dilatory and peremptory exceptions,” “auctions,” “interlocutory and definitive matters,” etc.) and I decided to compose a love “poem” with those words as a solitary game without the purpose of publication. In June 2008, I was invited to a writers’ meeting in San Luis Potosí. To conclude, we participants were asked to read something from our work. Each one would have a maximum of three minutes. Of course, the poets had plenty to choose from. A writer of short fiction could have read his complete work, but we, the narrators, were left defenseless. Then I remembered that the “poem” entitled Carta poder was on my computer. I transcribed it on a sheet of hotel letterhead and read it. Some of my colleagues liked the game and there was even someone who asked me to give them the manuscript. Back in Mexico City, I asked myself: And who is she, the recipient? From that question was born Poesía eras tú. Francisco Hinojosa foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Profesores, tiranos y otros pinches chamacos
Read moreTitle Profesores, tiranos y otros pinches chamacos Author Hinojosa, Francisco Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667239 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 406 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Subjects whose encyclopedic knowledge leads them to the top and then to the abyss of their biographies, men obsessed with the idea of death, professors determined to teach extremely simple subjects in extremely complicated ways, presidents who want to sell the country they govern to the highest bidder, literary characters who get out of their roles and commit crazy things left and right. Francisco Hinojosa's imagination fractures plots so unpredictable that on each page his stories take unusual turns, become complicated in unexpected ways and always mutate into the craziest version of themselves. The characters have absurd, generally modest lives, they can even be overwhelmed by comfort and boredom, until one day fate takes a turn and their days become a stepping stone to the unexpected. The reader has in his hands the most comprehensive collection of the author's short stories, a map that indicates his hidden depths, his wild desires and the most surprising stories that make him up. This volume represents an event for Francisco Hinojosa's readers and a true honour for our publishing house: it is the celebration of a literary work that, for several decades, has earned the admiration and affection of everyone. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Ciento cincuenta cuentos cortos
Read moreTitle Ciento cincuenta cuentos cortos Author Davis, Lydia Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667260 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis «As powerful as Kafka, as subtle as Flaubert, as defining of an era, in its own way, as Proust.» ALI SMITH (THE GUARDIAN) Lydia Davis is one of the most representative North American writers of our times. With a career that has seen her receive the most prestigious awards of today, her name has been inextricably linked to the genre of the micro-story or flash of fiction, and to a type of writing in which there is no room for excess, but rather for succinct depth. This anthology, personally prepared by the author, gives an account of this complex but precise and meticulous work that continues to surprise more and more readers. With a strong introspective tone, and more concerned with the complex relationship between daily life and language (how to translate everyday experience into words? How do the devices of grammar and syntax affect or transform reality?), these small prose pieces often dispense with the resource of plot to take the form of shrewd meditations, detailed descriptions of obsession, disturbing logical games and words that point out possibilities rather than determining truths. At the same time, this collection is a remarkable reflection on writing as a habit: 150 short stories guided by an admirable intelligence and an exquisite sense of humor. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
