Cómo me enamoré de Nicolas Cage

Autor: Carla Quevedo

Número de Páginas: 283

Con una prosa notable, Carla Quevedo consigue en esta primera novela combinar de forma profunda el humor y la sordidez, y sin buscarlo, retratar la complejidad (y a veces la tragedia) de las relaciones humanas. Marta es una actriz argentina que vive en New York, es joven, linda y perturbada. Intenta quedar en películas de gran despliegue, pero nunca termina de encajar en los estereotipos de lo que se espera de una latina. Una noche, en una fiesta, conoce a un músico muy famoso y se enamora de él. Pero lo que podría ser el inicio de una historia de amor es en cambio el inicio de una historia rabiosa y fracturada, minada de desencuentros. Sensible, graciosa e hiperlúcida, la protagonista se sumerge dentro de una fantasía densa en la que intentará desentrañar de qué está hecho el enamoramiento, y cuánto se puede encontrar y perder en ese hallazgo. Con una prosa notable, Carla Quevedo consigue en esta primera novela combinar de forma profunda el humor y la sordidez, y sin buscarlo, retratar la complejidad (y a veces la tragedia) de las relaciones humanas. «Una gema que merece ser descubierta. Por momentos hilarante, obscena, siempre aguda; una lectura provocadora que hace...

My Father Envies Me (English and Spanish Version)

Autor: Mayke R.

Número de Páginas: 212

My dad envies me. I've been an orphan since I was eight months old. Unfortunately, I was mistreated by a bad and envious father, and my whole life has been a torment with him. I will describe, in this book, my father as the person who has done the most harm to me throughout my life, for I have never encountered another person like him. Throughout my life, he has sabotaged my achievements, put me wrong with all the family and friends, and never wanted me to get ahead because he feels less than me. Of course, I have forgiven him for all the evil he has done to me, and I ask God to give him good things despite all the damage he has done to me and even though he has never asked me for an apology. I hope that no one will suffer what I have suffered and that there are no more other fathers like him.

As of August 2016 it was estimated that some 35 million Mexicans were living in the United States, 23.5 million of whom were born in the United States and 11.5 million in Mexico. Of the latter, only 5 million are undocumented and of them, 1.3 million are considered DREAMers: young people who were taken to the United States by their parents when they were children, who grew up and were educated in this country, and who -because of their illegal status- face daunting obstacles to develop professionally. This, however, does not prevent them from dreaming. In We the DREAMers, Josefina Vázquez Mota explores the laws and statistics, and above all highlights the narratives and emotions behind thelife stories of these DREAMers whose only objective is to fulfill their dreams. Their testimonies offer a kaleidoscope of viewpoints, pinpointing many obstacles. Nevertheless, they are voices of young people who have not given up; instead they have created or joined activist groups alongside many other people who, like them, just want to be heard and acknowledged.

qué estoy haciendo aquí? y otros poemas hablados

Autor: David Antin

Número de Páginas: 149

La obra rupturista, anómala y profundamente renovadora del poeta y crítico norteamericano David Antin (1932-2016), apenas ha circulado en nuestra lengua. Su propuesta (poemas hablados) amalgama poesía y performance, componiendo un reguero de esquirlas orales, agudas, siempre pensantes y fraguadas cadenciosamente de pie, en acto, desafiando todo ordenamiento literario. Como nos advierte el poeta Andrés Anwandter –autor de esta pionera y significativa muestra bilingüe de la obra de Antin– estos poemas-charla nunca nos dejan indiferentes, nos confrontan, nos escandalizan y, a veces, con una sonrisa esbozada en el rostro, destrozan en la práctica algunas de nuestras más arraigadas creencias.

Martita, I Remember You/Martita, te recuerdo

Autor: Sandra Cisneros

Número de Páginas: 120

The celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street “is back with her first work of fiction in almost a decade, a story of memory and friendship [and] the experiences young women endure as immigrants worldwide” (AP). In this masterfully written dual-language edition, a long-forgotten letter sets off a charged encounter with the past. As a young woman, Corina leaves her Mexican family in Chicago to pursue her dream of becoming a writer in the cafés of Paris. Instead, she spends her brief time in the City of Light running out of money and lining up with other immigrants to call home from a broken pay phone. But the months of befriending panhandling artists in the métro, sleeping on crowded floors, and dancing the tango at underground parties are given a lasting glow by her intense friendships with Martita and Paola. Over the years the three women disperse to three continents, falling out of touch and out of mind—until a rediscovered letter brings Corina’s days in Paris back with breathtaking immediacy. Martita, I Remember You is a rare bottle from Sandra Cisneros’s own special reserve, preserving the smoke and the sparkle of an exceptional year. Told with...

JUST THE WAY IT WAS

Autor: Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui

Número de Páginas: 269

This book is a simple and humble gift, a present, a legacy of past life and love. It is a tale of many joys, laughs, and even laughter, as well as tears that sometimes came to be shed. It is a small present without any monetary or significant value of any commercial interest. Nevertheless, it is very exclusive because only the author can make this gift, because within the gift there are many experiences and anecdotes of a lifetime that only he is aware of. It is a gift that may one day be useful to dad or mom, when their son or daughter asks you to tell a story. Well, finally in decades to come, this dusty and forgotten old gift might have served for something useful. At the request of my great friend Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui, I allow myself to review his book where he captures his memoir with absolute reality. We first met many years ago through the sport of rock and high mountain climbing in Mexico City. I wish to testify that Mario recounts with absolute veracity events in his book and in which he cites me as an active participant. I congratulate Mario for his excellent memory in recounting those events in which he names my sister, Yoselinda, and me. We planned a trip to climb...

They gave their lives with a shout of; Live Christ the King! Long live free Cuba! “THE WRONG HOUSE” Narrates the childhood of a boy that never thought twice to make a decision, committing many errors which took him, as consequence of punishment, to many juvenile reformatories and at last to jail, where he spent part of his life.

During school time, I had a wonderful experience in learning in my humble public school. We, all the children of the community, walk together to the school with no fear; we walk in a safe environment. During 1980s, the country was having a social change. It was not safe anymore; I just looked at the chaos that was happening in our communities, with the families. The community was not safe anymore; what I saw was destruction and poverty, no job opportunities. I decided to migrate to the United States. I knew it would not be easy, but I took the risk of losing my life in the journey, by crossing the desert and getting on board of the train, The Beast, looking for my American dream.
