They Have Fired Her Again
They Have Fired Her Again is the ominous and compelling tale of a Central American immigrant in New York, narrated by the voices surrounding Lourdes during the exhausting rituals of her workday. Following a myriad of other working immigrants, Lourdes finds herself immersed in an ongoing pursuit of a job, while also being hunted down by peculiar animals-a light moth, a motmot bird, the cats in the shadows, a little crystalline dog, a wolf of stone-among other spectacular collections of animals that steal away, or liberate, lonely women into the perpetual night of the city. They Have Fired Her Again is the first novella by prize-winning Salvadorean author Claudia Hernandez to be translated into English. This bilingual edition includes the original text and the translation by Aaron Lacayo."

¿Cómo puede una historia de amor volverse violenta? ¿Cómo oír la angustia de una mujer en su casa cuando el ruido de la guerra es ensordecedor? Después de las novelas «Roza, tumba, quema» —sobre una mujer que combate en la guerra— y «El verbo J» —sobre una que escapa de ella—, Claudia Hernández narra la historia de mujeres que quedan atrapadas, al parecer sin salida, en el espacio doméstico.

Asumiendo el caracter performatico tanto de las categorias de sexo y genero (gender) como de la escritura, se estudia la desestabilizacion de nociones binarias y esencialistas y la consiguiente desvinculacion entre, por un lado, la escritura y, por el otro, la (supuesta) identidad sexual y de genero. De esta forma, los ensayos aqui reunidos retoman e indagan las interrogantes fundamentales de las teorias y la critica feministas para examinar la movilidad de lo femenino y lo masculino en la escritura, asi como sus configuraciones culturales y politicas.
Cicatrices
Cicatrices offers an understanding of the current mood in Central American fiction as writers attempt to come to terms with a collapsing social, political and economic landscape dominated by forced migration, drug trafficking, corruption and the struggle to establish fully democratic societies. Writers adopt various narrative strategies to account for this in fictional form, most typically the crime novel cum critical realism and the political thriller, but also a kind of impressionist realism as well as auto-fiction and fictional testimony.
