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...

In Ciudad Jurez, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, sixteen-year-old Vicente and two of his high school friends murdered his mother, his father, and his little sister in cold blood. Through a Truman Capote-like reconstruction of this seemingly incomprehensible triple murder, Sandra Rodrguez Nieto paints a haunting and unforgettable portrait of one of the most violent cities on Earth. This in-depth and harrowing investigation into the thought processes of three boys leads the reader on an exploration of the city of Jurez, as well as the drug cartels that have waged war on its streets, in a bold attempt to explain the inexplicable. Ideally qualified for telling this story, Sandra ...
"Islas bañadas por el mismo mar y con corrientes comunicantes", así definía David Miklos los proyectos narrativos incluidos en el primer volumen de esta antología, que Malaletra difundió gratuitamente en 2015. Este libro completa aquel primer esfuerzo e incluye 22 relatos inéditos de escritoras y escritores mexicanos nacidos a partir de 1975. "Apenas una sana muestra de lo que ocurre actualmente en la narrativa mexicana", pero representativa de "un ánimo liberado –es decir: desgeneracionalizado". "Sigo pensando en que esta generación, por así llamarla, está compuesta por personas alérgicas al conjunto, seres independientes que aprendieron muy pronto a desmarcarse de la naturaleza patriarcal y mercadotécnica del Boom, así como del manifiesto nunca del todo logrado del Crack (y que en realidad era una resonancia local del propio Boom)".

The English-language debut of one of the most thrilling and accomplished young Mexican writers Winner of the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute's Tanslation Prize Longlisted for the National Book Award Shortlisted for the Booker Prize Winner of the Internationaler Literaturpreis New York Public Library Best Books of 2020 Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2020 The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse has the whole village investigating the murder. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters—inners whom most people would write off as irredeemable—forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village. Like Roberto Bolano’s 2666 or Faulkner’s novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world saturated with mythology and violence—real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it’s a world that becomes more and more terrifying the deeper you explore it.

El hereje. Apuntes sobre John William Cooke es un profundo análisis crítico del pensamiento del organizador de la resistencia peronista, al que Perón nombró su heredero. Mazzeo lo define como hereje (al corpus peronista). El trabajo recorre su actividad política: el diputado, la revista De Frente, el golpe del 1955, la organización desde la carcel de la resistencia popular, el nombramiento por Perón como su heredero (un ejercicio "imposible"), Cuba y la vuelta al país. Miguel Mazzeo realiza un análisis excepcional, sin concesiones al "sentido común" de peronistas y antiperonistas.
