Picnic
Read moreTitle Picnic Author Lorena Ortiz Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078805143 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Contemporary lifestyle fiction; Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary; Novella (Short Novel) Synopsis The image of Patti Smith appears here as a symbol that defines what the three protagonist women (a Mexican, a Spaniard and a Uruguayan) have in common, starting with the physical resemblance to the music icon and the projection of the poet's rebellious and loving nature. The search of the characters in Picnic is not moved by a romantic vision, but by a desire to take from life what it owes to a girl: a little sex without falling in love, participating in a rock concert brawl getting out unscathed, or live as a functioning alcoholic without being judged. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -

He now plans one last hit at the supermarket where he works, which includes the other packers. A novel about evil as a human symptom, of the ways in which it survives through time, and the strength with which it empowers the weak and isolated, and the ways it has to spread and change its face. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -

A widow, still young and beautiful, she manages a large family inheritance, until she dies during a robbery. With this new investigation, Ana María Maqueo insisted on her criticism of the national institutions and their customs, among them the subjugation of women, and the use of beauty as a currency and as a tool for getting power. And portrayed a Mexico devastated by the 1985 earthquake, economic crises, smuggling, and early drug trafficking. Captain Alatorre reconsiders here his idea of justice in a dazzling finale. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -
Bavispe
Read moreTitle Bavispe Author Carlos René Padilla Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078805044 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Crime and mystery: hard-boiled crime, noir fiction; Adventure fiction: Westerns; Contemporary horror and ghost stories Synopsis Winner of the national «Fuentes Mares» Prize, 2022. The same as Comala, Bavispe is a small town crushed by the heat and an apparent monotony which stories are transformed by Carlos René Padilla into unforgettable narratives inhabited by ghosts and living beings willing to take away our calm while reading. Padilla makes use of a language that is often poetic and at the same time rooted in orality to narrate a variety of rural dramas that go from the presence of ghosts in the streets to the violence of revenge, that seem to update the narrative of Juan Rulfo. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -

Te amaba y me chingaste
Read moreTitle Te amaba y me chingaste Author Nora de la Cruz Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078256976 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 144 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary; Adventure / action fiction; Satirical fiction and parodies Synopsis At one of the many parties of the false society, Fosca María and Tito Lucio fall in love by accident. She is a music governess, who owns only a cat named Cucurucho and an attic; the other is a drunken marimba player, member of the illustrious Cucufato family. This 19th-century soap-opera takes place between the street gastronomy of Mexico and the customs of the old Russian aristocracy, something Chekhov could have written if he had liked tacos. Fosca and Tito remind us that no matter how much attention we have paid to Ovidio's advice, we have all loved and, yes, we have been screwed at times. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -
El mismo silencio
Read moreTitle El mismo silencio Author Adolfo Calderón Sabido Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078256969 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary; Historical fiction Synopsis In 1915, the Sinaloan general Salvador Alvarado entered Yucatán as governor. He cut privileges to the church and the landowners, promoted the feminist movement, fought against the slavery regime and canceled the company stores. Above all, he promulgated laws that preceded the national ones in the 1917 Constitution. Fragmentary and polyphonic, this novel gives voice to different protagonists to revive racism, slavery, and other entitlements enjoyed by the «casta divina». It offers not only a new light to the past, but a clearer mirror for the present. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -

Read moreTitle Dar las gracias no es suficiente Author Carlos Bortoni Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078256792 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 144 Format Printed THEMA Humorous fiction; Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary; Crime and mystery: women sleuths Synopsis Located in those years when the unemployed elderly joined the teenagers to pack the customers purchases in supermarkets, this novel shows the strategies that Mr. González, a septuagenarian with rheumatic hands, stubborn and stark, learns with a mixture of impotence and contempt, applying them and telling us their consequences with a hidden rage and an explosive ending. His motto is: «At a certain age... one can only cause pity... and pity is just another product of exchange. Fortunately, they have not patented it. It will have to be exploited before someone claims it as their own». foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com
