The Revolutionaries Try Again
Extravagant, absurd, and self-aware, The Revolutionaries Try Again plays out against the lost decade of Ecuador's austerity and the stymied idealism of three childhood friends—an expat, a bureaucrat, and a playwright—who are as sure about the evils of dictatorship as they are unsure of everything else, including each other. Everyone thinks they're the chosen ones, Masha wrote on Antonio's manuscript. See About Schmidt with Jack Nicholson. Then she quoted from Hope Against Hope by Nadezhda Mandelstam, because she was sure Antonio hadn't read her yet: Can a man really be held accountable for his own actions? His behavior, even his character, is always in the merciless grip of the age, whic...
American Abductions
Torrential and dreamlike, Mauro Javier Cárdenas’ novel unfurls into a layered, poignant, and unflinching portrait of how family separations have impacted the minds of Latin American deportees in a technology-bound 21st century. American Abductions opens in a near-future United States whose omnipresence of data-harvesting and algorithms has enabled the mass incarceration and deportation of Latin Americans—regardless of citizenship. After their father is abducted by immigration officials before their eyes and deported to Colombia, Ada and her sister Eva are left to contend with a United States as all-seeing as it is hostile. Now adults, Ada remains in San Francisco while Eva has joined th...

American Abductions
Tender and compassionate, bursting with ribald humour, American Abductions is a literary tour-de-force from a celebrated young write Ada was just a little girl when she witnessed her father being abducted by immigration officials and forced to return to Colombia. She and her sister are left alone to grow up in an America that is as all-seeing as it is hostile: a country of data harvesting and mass surveillance, a nation in which outsiders are imprisoned and deported on a vast scale, regardless of whether or not they posses US citizenship. Many years later, Ada still lives in San Francisco, determined to forge a life for herself in a country that is outwardly hostile to her community, her family, her identity. When her sister asks her to come to Colombia to visit their now ailing father, Ada must decide just how much she is willing to leave behind for the family she hasn’t seen in years. Dextrous and daring, sharply intelligent and bursting with wit, Mauro Javier Cárdenas’ latest novel cements his place at the vanguard of Latin American literary talent.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
