Borderline Carlito
Este libro es una muestra del imaginario de Carlos Busqued. Constituido por una selección de posteos de su blog, contiene todo su mundo poético y los lectores reconocerán en él las preocupaciones literarias, musicales y audiovisuales que después desembocaron en dos memorables libros narrativos. "Estoy escribiendo", dice Busqued en una de las entradas, y a continuación glosa una escena de lo que con el tiempo sería Bajo este sol tremendo. De esta novela muestra pasajes enteros que finalmente no formaron parte de la versión definitiva del libro. Son bocetos, borradores en los que lentamente la novela va tomando forma. Acá tenemos el potente imaginario de Busqued, el germen de su primera novela y un arco narrativo que va desde la preparación para escribir ese libro, su escritura, la publicación y la manera como tomó, a veces con ironía, las primeras repercusiones tras la publicación. Borderline Carlito es un libro imprescindible para completar el universo del autor de Bajo este sol tremendo y Magnetizado.
Magnetized
NPR, One of the Best Books of the Year A “chilling but fascinating portrait” of a serial killer, and “a must-read for true crime fans” who enjoyed My Dark Places, The Stranger Beside Me, or I’ll Be Gone In the Dark (Buzzfeed) One of Argentina’s most innovative writers brings to life the story of a teenager who murdered 4 taxi drivers in 1982 Buenos Aires—without any apparent motive. Over the course of one ghastly week in September 1982, the bodies of 4 taxi drivers were found in Buenos Aires, each murder carried out with the same cold precision. The assailant: a 19–year–old boy, odd and taciturn, who gave the impression of being completely sane. But the crimes themselves we...

Under This Terrible Sun
A stoner travels to remote Argentina to identify the bodies of his murdered mother and brother. What could possibly go wrong? Cetarti spends his days in a cloud of pot smoke, watching nature documentaries on television.

When Duarte, a former military man turned dedicated criminal, ropes Cetarti into a scheme to cash in...
Latin American Culture and the Limits of the Human
This volume explores works from Latin American literary and visual culture that question what it means to be human and examine the ways humans and nonhumans shape one another. In doing so, it provides new perspectives on how the region challenges and adds to global conversations about humanism and the posthuman. Contributors identify posthumanist themes across a range of different materials, including an anecdote about a plague of rabbits in Historia de las Indias by Spanish historian Bartolomé de las Casas, photography depicting desert landscapes at the site of Brazil’s War of Canudos, and digital and installation art portraying victims of state-sponsored and drug violence in Colombia an...

The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...
A History of Argentine Literature
Argentine Literature continues to figure prominently in academic programs in the English-speaking world, and it has an increasing presence in English translation in international prizes and trade journals. A History of Argentine Literature proposes a major reimagining of Argentine literature attentive to production in indigenous and migration languages and to current debates in Literary Studies. Panoramic in scope and incisive in its in-depth studies of authors, works, and theoretical problems, this volume builds on available scholarship on canonical works but opens up the field to include a more diverse rendering as well as engaging with the full spectrum of textual interventions from travel writing to drama, from popular 'gauchesca' to celebrated avant guard works Working at the crossroads of disciplines, languages and critical traditions, this book accounts for the wealth of Argentine cultural production and maps the rich, diverse and often overlooked history of Argentine literature.
The Routledge Handbook of Violence in Latin American Literature
This Handbook brings together essays from an impressive group of well-established and emerging scholars from all around the world, to show the many different types of violence that have plagued Latin America since the pre-Colombian era, and how each has been seen and characterized in literature and other cultural mediums ever since. This ambitious collection analyzes texts from some of the region's most tumultuous time periods, beginning with early violence that was predominately tribal and ideological in nature; to colonial and decolonial violence between colonizers and the native population; through to the political violence we have seen in the postmodern period, marked by dictatorship, guerrilla warfare, neoliberalism, as well as representations of violence caused by drug trafficking and migration. The volume provides readers with literary examples from across the centuries, showing not only how widespread the violence has been, but crucially how it has shaped the region and evolved over time.
