Stories that take us down the path of loss, of the various forms of violence that furrow and traverse life, of the small battles that we choose to fight and the mediocre victories that console us, but also of sweetness, compassion and the brief joys that make the world a less ungrateful place and that force us to see ourselves and understand why we want to look away”.

Here are outcasts trying to clone their pet because losing it seems unbearable, dead people who don't know they are dead, impossible couples, ruined trips... Dogs are a constant: they are protagonists or accessories, painted in one piece but also fragmented in the traces they leave behind. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -

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 -

She dives into the deep Qatar to find the reason why their women cover their bodies and faces, why they cannot be photographed; the roots of polygamy, arranged marriages, gender segregation or certain prohibitions that we do not understand. She wonders and confronts herself: How is it that these women that we thought were oppressed get along better and with more self-assurance than anyone else. Between the travel chronicle and the fictionalized autobiography, in this novel we are «the others». foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com
