Ice for Martians: Hielo para marcianos Bilingual edition
Claudia Ulloa Donoso is an expert at writing gently alienated characters. Sometimes, their dislocation is the result of geography. Occasionally, it stems from their social conditions: consider "Alarm," in which every sound and moment is skewed by the narrator's terror of her abusive partner, or "The Transfiguration of Melina," whose religious teenage heroine starts the story detached from her sexuality, and ends it anything but. More often, though, Claudia's characters are simply Martians: their perspective on the world is singular, whether they want it to be or not.

Little Bird
After moving from Peru north of the Arctic circle to begin graduate school, Claudia Ulloa Donoso began blogging about insomnia. Not hers, necessarily – the blog was never defined as fact or fiction. Her blog posts became the bones of Little Bird, short stories with a nod to fervent self-declaration of diary entries and the hallucinatory haze of sleeplessness. Blending narration and personal experience, the stories in Little Bird stretch reality, a sharp-shooting combination of George Saunders and Samanta Schweblin. Characters real and unreal, seductive, shape-changing, and baffling come together in smooth prose that, ultimately, defies fact and fiction.
Yo maté a un perro en Rumanía
En medio de una depresión, una profesora de idiomas acepta la propuesta de un antiguo estudiante: viajar a Rumanía. Adormecida y muda, verá cómo su compañero de viaje revela secretos y matices de personalidad que hasta entonces ella no conocía. De ciudad en ciudad, entre benzodiacepinas, carreteras, lenguas extrañas y los perros que llenan el paisaje quizás encuentre su sitio luminoso.
Pajarito
Durante una temporada del año al norte del círculo polar el sol no se pone; hay luz en el día, hay luz en la noche. En uno de los cuentos de este libro, un chico corta el pasto con tal gracia que consigue los aplausos de una mujer que lo mira. El espectáculo aligera su depresión y el insomnio que la suele afectar durante aquellos días. Claudia narra desde una mirada singular que revela nuevos significados de lo ordinario. A veces se vale de notas al margen que acompañan los cuentos, a veces de hombres que emergen de luciérnagas o de lo complejo que es el verbo vivir. Coedición digital Laguna Libros - eLibros. Derechos solo para Colombia.
Matei um cachorro na Romênia
Claudia Ulloa Donoso foi escolhida em 2017 como um dos 39 melhores escritores latino-americanos com menos de quarenta anos pelo Hay Festival Bogotá e ganhou projeção com os contos de Pajarito (2018). Matei um cachorro na Romênia é seu primeiro romance e trata de forma prosaica e até cômica assuntos como saúde mental e dependência medicamentosa, imigração e raízes culturais. Um imigrante romeno na Noruega convida sua ex-professora latino-americana para viajar à Romênia, pois ele não pode adiar sua ida tampouco quer deixá-la sozinha em meio a uma crise de depressão. Lá, entre arquitetura soviética e neon, relações familiares, clonazepam líquido, apagões de comunicação, ritos funerários e vira-latas, os dois amigos se estranham e se redescobrem. A morte aparece como iminência, vínculo e instinto vital numa narrativa iluminadora e despretensiosa, que logra abordar questões densas com sobriedade e humor.

Short War
Told in three distinct voices, Short War brings together a rapturous teenage love story set in Chile, the hunt for the author of an eye-opening literary detective story, and a complex reckoning with American political intervention in South America. When sixteen-year-old Gabriel Lazris, an American in Santiago, Chile, meets Caro Ravest, something clicks. Caro, who is Chilean, is charming, curious, and deeply herself. Gabriel dreams of their future together. But everybody’s saying there’s going to be a coup—and no one says it louder than Gabriel’s dad, a Nixon-loving newspaper editor who Gabriel suspects is working with the C.I.A. Gabriel’s father is adamant that the moment political...
Driving Lessons
In this brilliant fiction debut from a legendary visual artist, thirteen interconnected stories explore friendship and intimacy, loneliness and dislocation, and the physical contours of a dilapidated American landscape. These stories, which first appeared as part of Coursey’s solo exhibition at The Pollock Gallery of SMU's Meadows School of the Arts, demonstrate the artist’s fascination with the broken-down and discarded relics of industry and labor. Coursey’s stories are laced with humor, conspiracy, paranoia, and compassion, exploring the ripple effects of violence, the mystery of a car found in a well, house-boat culture, Texas landscapes of machinery and dust. Objects possess a totemic importance as Coursey catalogs the detritus of American culture. These ornate vignettes present a colorful cast of characters and vivid scenery, demonstrating the author’s eye for detail both inanimate and human. Coursey spotlights work and deeds done by hand, and the artful, sculpted sentences reveal the writer’s care and facility as a linguistic craftsman.
