Friction
A series of comic events engulf a university town.
The Obstacles
"One of the most remarkable books of contemporary Mexican literature, The Obstacles is the story of young writers coming of age in a world dominated entirely by their own fictions. It tells, in alternating chapters, the stories of two teenagers, Ricardo and Elias, who are characters in each others' novels. Ricardo lives in Mexico City with his mother, who is mourning the recent death of her husband. Elias, an orphan, lives in Las Remoras, a town on the Baja Peninsula that has been invented and meticulously imagined by Ricardo. Blurring our notions of reality and fiction, Eloy Urroz takes the reader into a world where characters invent characters and challenge their creators. And the book's conclusion--in which a surprising connection between Ricardo and Elias is revealed--shows that not even fiction can be controlled in a world of such incredible unpredictability."--Publisher's website.
Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology

Las rémoras
Esta obra nos relata la historia de Ricardo. Él es un escritor que está trabajando en un libro ambientado en un pueblo llamado Las Rémoras, situado en Baja California. La historia se comienza a desarrollar normalmente hasta que el escritor se mezcla con los personajes de su obra en una atmósfera que se tambalea entre la ficción y la realidad. Las confusiones de ambientes, los acontecimientos que se precipitan y las aventuras que vendrán se entrelazan entre lo que se escribe y lo que se vive, lo que llevará al lector a un viaje por el inconsciente de los personajes como Elías, el cura Augusto Roldán, Inés y el mismo escritor, Ricardo. La búsqueda de los personajes, las tramas que se viven y las incertidumbres, son los principales temas que se trabajan en esta inusual historia.
