Three Messages and a Warning
A radical combination of emerging and established Mexican authors of original tales of the fantastic.
El guante negro y otros cuentos
Este es un acto de confesión sobre los divinos placeres de la tentación que debe servir de guía a otros a todos nosotros. Vean ustedes, soy un escritor tuerto que observa la vida con la doble intensidad de su único ojo y en el límite de la locura. Pero no soy un loco y se imaginarán que no escribo esto sólo para jugar a las muñecas. Desde mi nacimiento me he sabido artista, un artista por quien transitan libremente el dolor y el placer, la vida y la muerte. Sépanlo de una vez por todas: soy el autor de este homenaje anónimo dedicado a todos aquellos seres fracturados en busca del amor. No admito culpa.
Connecting Lines
"Since the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the United States and Mexico have been inextricably linked. The blending of the American and Mexican cultures has enriched both nations. Through a partnership to promote wider access to literary voices of Mexican artists in the U.S. and American writers in Mexico, the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Embassy in Mexico, and the National Autonomous University of Mexico have joined together to support a program of anthology publications and public outreach activities. The two-volume set-Lineas conectadas: nueva poesia de los Estados Unidos and Connecting Lines: New Poetry from Mexico-is the first installment in the series. With definitive translations by leading writers and scholars, these dual volumes offer a glimpse into the beauty of the Mexican and the American experience through the microscopic lens of poetry. Whether read for personal pleasure or classroom study, Lineas conectadas and Connecting Lines are a must-read for anyone curious of our ever-increasing multicultural identity."--Publisher's website.

EL último carnaval
«El pasado es parte de nosotros, si no es que somos nosotros mismos» Ésta es una novela de iniciación y, a la vez, de recuperación del tiempo o el paraíso perdido. Concentra la intensidad y la frescura de la juventud y sus primeras veces, con esa otra intensidad, la de la nostalgia, la añoranza de todo lo que fue, o todo lo que fuimos, y que sólo podemos recobrar a través de la memoria. El último carnaval narra los años de formación de Adrián, desde su adolescencia a finales de la década de los cincuenta, en la colonia Del Valle, pasando por su etapa como estudiante en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, hasta llegar al descubrimiento de su vocación como escritor y s...
Multiple Experiences of Modernity
Contemporary theories of modernity recognize the plurality or »multiplicity± of modernities. Often the differences are seen as institutional or cultural differences. Although this sort of research is important it cannot be ignored that it does not provide a clear understanding of the »human consequences±. The tradition that today is known under the name of Critical Theory, on the contrary, has been interested always first of all in the human consequences. This book wants to follow this ambition. The question it tries to search answers for is: what are the experiences that human beings are making in and within global modernity? Another question is important: what are the affinities and wh...
Politics, Gender, and the Mexican Novel, 1968-1988
The student massacre at Tlatelolco in Mexico City on October 2, 1968, marked the beginning of an era of rapid social change in Mexico. In this illuminating study, Cynthia Steele explores how the writers of the next two decades responded to the massacre and to the social crisis it signaled in terms of political change and gender identity.
Short Story Theories
Short Story Theories: A Twenty-First-Century Perspective problematizes different aspects of the renewal and development of the short story. The aim of this collection is to explore the most recent theoretical issues raised by the short story as a genre and to offer theoretical and practical perspectives on the form. Centering as it does on specific authors and on the wider implications of short story poetics, this collection presents a new series of essays that both reinterpret canonical writers of the genre and advance new critical insights on the most recent trends and contemporary authors. Theorizations about genre reflect on different aspects of the short story from a multiplicity of per...
