Corazón de mierda
Read moreTitle Corazón de mierda Author Gonzalo Lizardo Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455212 Edition number 1 Publication year 2012 Pages 123 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis In this novel we salute the fortunate appearance of the youngest of our line of picaresque characters. Narrated from a calm old age, it is a story of orphanage, crime, heartbreak and atonement, all common themes to the Lazarillo de Tormes, Periquillo Sarniento and Candingas, a smiling devil that lends his name to the protagonist of this novel. But even if the subjects are the same, the passage through a voice changes them. As he speaks, while he narrates, the voice, at times slang, at times poetic but always juicy, becomes the real main character of this delicious novel. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Faustina
Read moreTitle Faustina Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453188 Edition number 1 Publication year 2013 Pages 114 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Faustina tells the story of a mother who didn’t want to stop being like her ancestors. It is also the story of an old and absent father that comes back just once, one Christmas, but only to say goodbye. The delicate voice that narrates this novel says that there are moments when the world uncovers its folds, when you can see that reality is just an illusion and that we live as figures painted on a canvas. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
De la infancia
Read moreTitle De la infancia Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453690 Edition number 1 Publication year 2014 Pages 144 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis This novel is a book of frontiers. It takes place at the edge of the city, where the plain, the bare forest, the highway, and the manufacturing zone begin. The main characters also move on the edge: a family that oscillates between a frugal resistance within legality and numerous attempts at some heist that would free them from poverty once and for all. But at the same time, and here this book becomes unique, this family inhabits the frontiers where the daily routine gets infected and borders fantasy in an ambiguous, dubious way. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Rosas negras
Read moreTitle Rosas negras Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454260 Edition number 1 Publication year 2015 Pages 201 Format Print and digital 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. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Ana García Bergua asks, instead, what can a ghost do. What can it do when it abandons a body but still needs to communicate with the ones that have one; what happens when it still wants to move around the city it used to live in; what consequences does its attempts to transmit its affections produce; in sum, what happens with its desire? That is the fire that burns in Fuego 20. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
