They Will Dream in the Garden
InThey WillDream in the Garden,Otherwise Award-winning author, Gabriela DamiánMiravete elaborates the disconcerting experience of living as a womanin Mexico--aterritory characterized by its great contrasts, from violence andactivism to affectionate and communal resistance: flowers that arisefrom the earth to expand the cosmic consciousness of those who takeit, nuns who create artifacts so that their native languages do notperish, a memorial for the victims of femicide that the Statecontrols, but whose old guardian wants to turn into a laboratory toreturn their lost future... TheyWill Dream in the Gardenshows the journey that its author has undertaken towards a moreconscious writing that, through wonder and beauty, trusts in thepossibilities that literature offers to unite, question, andtransform our being in the world.

Witnessing Partition
This book interrogates representations – fiction, literary motifs and narratives – of the Partition of India. Delving into the writings of Khushwant Singh, Balachandra Rajan, Attia Hosain, Abdullah Hussein, Rahi Masoom Raza and Anita Desai, among many others, it highlights the modes of ‘fictive’ testimony that sought to articulate the inarticulate – the experiences of trauma and violence, of loss and longing, and of diaspora and displacement. The author discusses representational techniques and formal innovations in writing across three generations of twentieth-century writers in India and Pakistan, invoking theoretical debates on history, memory, witnessing and trauma. With a new afterword, the second edition of this volume draws attention to recent developments in Partition studies and sheds new light as regards ongoing debates about an event that still casts a shadow on contemporary South Asian society and culture. A key text, this is essential reading for scholars, researchers and students of literary criticism, South Asian studies, cultural studies and modern history.
Three Messages and a Warning

Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo
«Si no puedo inspirar amor, desencadenaré el miedo». Robert Walton es un escritor fracasado que se propone explorar el Polo Norte con la esperanza de expandir el conocimiento científico. Durante el viaje, la tripulación rescata a un hombre casi congelado llamado Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein ve en Walton la misma obsesión que lo ha destruido a él y le cuenta su historia, la de un joven estudiante de ciencias que crea un hombre artificial a partir de fragmentos de cadáveres. Esta escalofriante narración gótica que comenzó cuando Mary Shelley tenía sólo dieciocho años de edad, ha pasado a ser la obra de terror más famosa del mundo y sigue siendo una exploración devastadora de los límites de la ambición humana. «Frankenstein se convirtió en mi biblia porque lo que escribió Mary Shelley fue la quintaesencia de la sensación de aislamiento que tienes cuando eres joven. Es el libro adolescente por excelencia». Guillermo del Toro

La canción detrás de todas las cosas
Este libro está escrito en clave geológica: sus cuentos, entre oníricos y tectónicos, están unidos en el más estricto sentido como las capas de la tierra, cada una con temperatura distinta pero a su vez profundamente relacionada con la previa y con la siguiente, para finalmente, conformar un todo único. La literatura de Gabriela abreva de la ciencia, la historia, la ficción y la literatura especulativa. Aquí hay textos conformados por un imaginario topográfico, mineral y animal. Al leer esta obra, es inevitable preguntarse qué pasaría si la tierra debajo de nuestros pies, soñara, ¿qué soñaría, cómo lo haría? ¿Y luego qué sucedería cada vez que la tierra intentase recordar sus sueños? En palabras de Verónica Murguía: “Gabriela ha imaginado pacientemente y durante muchos años, con el oído pegado al suelo y los dedos hundidos en los terrones, las voces que resuenan en la oscuridad, los ecos de la respiración y el latido del mundo”. Avanzar en la lectura de este libro es penetrar la masa oculta de la Tierra.

Meteotopia: Futures of Climate (In)Justice
The title "Meteotopia" refers not only to the Climate Emergency we all live in, but also to the Climate Injustice that starts as an environmental problem to include both a political and a moral question. The Anthropocene (and its lately little brother Capitalocene) affect every planetary ecosystem as well as every living being and thus Climate Justice is the ethical obligation to create a more just and equitable world starting from the protection of human rights, and in particular for those populations that suffer the most from the consequences of climate change, even though they are not directly responsible for it: all the marginalized cultures, the future generations, the living animals an...
Saturnalia
"A heady mix of the most terrifying elements of our troubled past and inevitable future; an eerie, propulsive novel." --Carmen Maria Machado The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina walked away from Philadelphia's elite Saturn Club--with its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest in alchemy and the occult. In doing so, she abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the social ladder. Since then, she's eked out a living by telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has turned out to be more useful than she could have ever imagined. For most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brie...
