Been There, Read That!
"Travel the world, from Austria to Vietnam, without leaving your favourite armchair!" "Been There, Read That: Stories for the Armchair Traveller is a collection of short stories from around the world. Some of the authors are well known in their native language, others are relative newcomers; for many, this is the first time their work has appeared in English. In every case, the translators invite you to share the pleasures of their art: encountering a new voice, connecting with another culture, seeing the world through very different eyes." --Book Jacket.

The Affinity of the Eye
In The Affinity of the Eye: Writing Nikkei in Peru, Ignacio López-Calvo rises above the political emergence of the Fujimori phenomenon and uses politics and literature to provide one of the first comprehensive looks at how the Japanese assimilated and inserted themselves into Peruvian culture. Through contemporary writers’ testimonies, essays, fiction, and poetry, López-Calvo constructs an account of the cultural formation of Japanese migrant communities. With deftly sensitive interviews and comments, he portrays the difficulties of being a Japanese Peruvian. Despite a few notable examples, Asian Peruvians have been excluded from a sense of belonging or national identity in Peru, which p...
The Taker, and Other Stories
The first collection of Fonseca's short stories to appear in English, ranging across his oeuvre, exploring the sights and sounds of Rio de Janeiro. Fonseca's Rio is a city at war, where vast disparities, in wealth, social standing and prestige are untenable. Rich and poor live in an uneasy equilibrium, where only overwhelming force can maintain order and violence and deception are the essential tools of survival. From the tale of the businessman who rans over pedestrians to let off steam to a serial killer being pushed to kill more by his lover, this collection is a true gem.
Madrid Tales
The buzzing life of bars, warm evenings by the Manzanares river, the subterranean terrors of the Metro, icy winters and hot, empty summers, student days in the sixties, the ruthless underworld of the city's mafia, this captivating anthology reflects the character of Madrid and the lives of the madrilenos, as its inhabitants are called, in all their splendid variety. Some stories are bizarre, some funny, some serious, and as you read you'll travel through the city. The famous streets and monuments of Madrid - Cibeles, Calle de Alcala, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace - as well as the poor, working-class barrios unfrequented by sightseers will pass before your eyes like a moving picture. Few of these stories have previously been translated into English. Some names, such as Benito Perez Galdos, Javier Marias, Juan Jose Millas, and Carmen Martin Gaite, will be more familiar than others but all deserve to be better known. There is a map at the back of the book to indicate the places mention
Historia de lo fantástico en la cultura española contemporánea (1900-2015)
A través de los catorce capítulos que componen este libro se realiza un recorrido por lo fantástico español desde los primeros años del modernismo hasta el presente, y a través de sus diversas manifestaciones ficcionales: narrativa, teatro, cine, televisión y cómic, mostrando, además, las interrelaciones y mutuas influencias entre ellas, y trazando así las líneas que definen la historia y evolución de lo fantástico en la cultura española contemporánea.
Estaciones de paso
Un poco de todo hay en este surtido de páginas. Ese poco de todo lo nutren desde el apunte biográfico hasta la mera anécdota, la reseña, el microrrelato, la divagación disfrazada de reflexión, algunos escogidos recuerdos, la crónica de unos pocos viajes, y un etcétera que no creo necesario inventariar del todo. Sin embargo, y contra lo que pueda parecer, no es este libro un Diario. En casi ningún momento señalo fechas concretas, ni avanzo hacia una meta tras el correr fatigoso del día a día o del año a año. Las estaciones son sólo el tiempo en que fueron escritas cada una de estas anotaciones, pero referidas a distintos períodos de mi vida sin solución de continuidad. No hay...
