Boulder
Working as a cook on a merchant ship, a woman comes to know and love Samsa, a woman who gives her the nickname "Boulder." When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to have a child. She is already forty and can't bear to let the opportunity pass her by. Boulder is less enthused, but doesn't know how to say no—and so finds herself dragged along on a journey that feels as thankless as it is alien. With motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her priorities lie, and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her yearning for love. Once again, Eva Baltasar demonstrates her preeminence as a chronicler of queer voices navigating a hostile world—and in prose as brittle and beautiful as an ancient saga.

The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...

Opendoor
Novela debut de un autor insoslayable de la literatura argentina de los 2000. «Iosi Havilio hace una apuesta fuerte por el sistema de puertas abiertas. Porque la vida enajena, parece decirnos esta novela, y para aprender a cruzar portales hay que saber leer algunas palabras claves, entregarse a las circunstancias y avisparse como lo hacen las pendejas.» Albertina Carri Opendoor asombró: ¿De dónde había salido esta ópera prima? Años después, las preguntas siguen sonando: ¿Qué extraña pasión mueve a la protagonista, una estudiante de veterinaria sin nombre que no hace nada por averiguar el destino de su novia desaparecida? ¿Qué la une a Jaime, el dueño de un caballo enfermo que...
Estocolmo
René viaja a Suecia en 1973 donde lo sorprende el golpe de Estado contra Salvador Allende en Chile. Allí llevará una vida de exilio, soledad y amores humillantes e infelices, hasta que regresa a Chile 33 años después. Huyendo de todo, René vuelve a Chile. El regreso nunca es fácil y tendrá que enfrentarse a la vida que dejó atrás, pero también a la sombra hipnótica de Boris, su amante eslavo, que parece seguirlo a todas partes. El sexo, la culpa, los miedos y la cobardía son las piezas esenciales con las que el relato se va construyendo. El lenguaje contenido e intenso, lacerante por momentos, hacen de Iosi Havilio uno de los escritores más interesantes de su generación.
