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

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.
La ruta de su evasión
Una novela de ruptura en todos los sentidos. La ruta de su evasión superó el realismo social que predominaba en su época para adentrarse en el universo interior de los personajes, empleando técnicas narrativas como el monólogo interior, el flujo de conciencia y la fragmentación del tiempo. Bajo el influjo de Proust, Faulkner y Joyce, Oreamuno teje un minucioso entramado de estereotipos –la mujer sumisa, el padre déspota, la esposa abnegada, el hijo acomplejado– que estallan desde adentro, desde las emociones, en tanto que la trama pone en conflicto el deseo y la identidad verdadera de cada uno de ellos con los modelos obtusos que la novela cuestiona; roles impuestos por una sociedad acartonada y profundamente patriarcal. La invitación del prólogo de Natalia García Freire no podría ser más adecuada: "Por favor, no se ponga cómodo, levántese y empiece a andar "La ruta de su evasión"".
