In The Intruders, Carlos Manuel Alvarez dives into the recent protest organized in Havana by the San Isidro Movement, which brought together more than two hundred Cuban artists, intellectuals, and activists. In November 2020, the island's regime imprisoned rapper Denis Solís, which led to a peaceful encampment, an unprecedented civic response that seems to have irreversibly changed the sentimental political map of the country. A mixture of reportage, testimony, profile and memory, the book portrays the lives of the participants in this event and also the author's intimate experience with the Cuban Stasi as part of the social turmoil shared by that dissident group. At the same time, it explores some very pertinent categories on the island: revolution, dictatorship, language and totalitarianism. Castroism is understood here not only as an expression of authoritarian power, but also as a habit, a culture, a doctrine that shapes emotionally and intellectually. "I want to believe that the book proposes an aesthetic of militancy at risk," said the author, while reflecting on the role of journalism, writing, and art.

"This is a book with a high autobiographical content, which mixes reality and fiction. Brigadier Ferdinand is seriously wounded on the Flanders front during one of the bloody battles of the First World War. Destroyed physically and morally, he is evacuated to a hospital in the north of France, where an intractable nurse will take care of him, and Ferdinand will interact with various characters."--Provided by publisher.

Una escritora galardonada de ficciâon absorbente y sofisticada ofrece una novela elegante y propulsora arraigada en la Nueva York de principios del siglo XX, sobre la riqueza y el talento, la confianza y la intimidad, la verdad y la percepciâon. En la glamorosa ciudad de Nueva York de la dâecada de 1920, dos personajes de gusto sofisticado se unen. Uno es un magnate legendario de Wall Street; la otra, la brillante hija de aristâocratas pobres. Empapado de riqueza y grandeza, su matrimonio suscita chismes y permite un ascenso continuo, todo en un momento en que el paâis estâa experimentando una gran transformaciâon. Esta es la historia central de la novela Bonds de Harold Vanner, que todo el mundo en Nueva York de 1938 parece haber leâido. Pero no es la âunica versiâon. Provocadora, propulsora y repetidamente sorprendente, TRUST de Hernâan Dâiaz pone la historia de estos personajes en conversaciâon con "la verdad", y en tensiâon con la vida y la perspectiva de un extraäno inmerso en el misterio de un relato en competencia. El resultado es una novela general que se vuelve mâas emocionante y profunda con cada nueva capa y revelaciâon, involucrando al lector en una bâusqueda del tesoro por la verdad que confronta la atracciâon gravitacional del dinero que distorsiona la realidad y câomo el poder a menudo manipula los hechos.

This novel places us in the future world of Land in Blue (Rhapsody). There, a mature woman lives with Flor Azul, a drone through which she holds conversations with her friend Bibi, who is actually the voice of an actress. The woman, lonely and forgetful, lives separated from her daughters, Selva and Tina, each one protected and watched over by another drone: the disenchanted Obsolescence and the adolescent Cucú. The woman inhabits a world governed by the virtual, the parcel companies and the programs of the heart. A world ruled by exploitation, police repression and fear of disease and death, in which thanatopractors preserve corpses from rot. The soundtrack of this city-country-world is that of the metal shutters that come down suddenly, one of the leitmotifs that gather around themselves, forming loops and waves, in this dystopian buffoonery. But dystopian like the hopeful dystopias little birds that warn of leaking firedamp... Full of winks and references (from high culture to television gossip, going through all kinds of pop paraphernalia), the novel is a futuristic pamphlet, a cyborg symphony, a cry of protest, a choreography of desolation, a vanitas more modern than postmodern, and, above all, a neo-romantic novel of drones in love with women whom they care for and spy on, Coppelias inversas, sentimental vampires, contempt for the god of the algorithm, dreams, mirrors, enchantments and revolutions: spring can emerge from the darkness supported by the most unpredictable beings.

"The forceful x-ray of a family, of its latent wounds, fragilities, contradictions and weaknesses..."--

One day in 1990 on the Wisconsin highway, a bomb goes off in the hand of a man. But somebody knows who he was, and with the FBI closely on his heels, Peter Aaron decides to tell his story, to give his version, before history establishes its unfinished truths and falsities for what really happened.

A lucid and erudite reflection on the relationship we establish with books. What criterion presupposes the ordering and arrangement of books? Written with exquisite erudition and a fascinating tendency to centrifugal order, How to order a library is an authentic lesson not only on how to sort, but on how to edit, write, buy, sell and, above all, read the books.

Magris recreates the journey through the cultural landscape that crosses the 3,000 kilometers of river. Like the Danube, European culture crosses national, human, and psychological boundaries. The trip would be the way to save those borders as saved by the river, but remains above disaster and destruction.

This trilogy brings together three works by author Sergio Pitol: The Art of Escape, The Journey, and The Magician from Vienna. In The Art of Escape Pitol proposes a new form, in The Journey Pitol writes of a return to the Soviet Union, and in The Magician from Vienna the author dissolves boundaries.

The on-again/off-again friendship between Ptronille and the main character in the book, who happens to be a writer by the name of Amlie Nothomb, gives the story its verve and the novel its heart. A literary Thelma & Louise, with a little bit of French panache and a whole lot of champagne thrown in.
