Fiction. Short Stories. Latinx Studies. Chalar's fiction debut, THE GUARDIAN ANGEL OF LAWYERS, comprises thirteen stories examining the themes of guilt and innocence, punishment, legal culpability, and moral justification. A well-respected lawyer is haunted by a crime he committed in his youth. Violence between a young couple offers a harried criminal judge an unlikely chance for redemption. A controversial college professor enlists one of his students to obtain the skull of a murderer in order to prove a groundbreaking theory. In this collection of stories, many of them drawing from her experience of the legal profession, Chalar explores issues of morality and conflict, shedding light on our most questionable actions and on the enduring effects of things we do to others and ourselves.

Toward this same goal of overthrowing capitalism we say, with the poets in this anthology: Not one step back!
Poetry. Translation. Latino/Latina Studies. TOUCHING THE LIGHT OF DAY: SIX URUGUAYAN POETS is a bilingual anthology of poems by well-known 20th-century Uruguayan poets.

En noviembre de 1970 la editorial Tierra Nueva de Montevideo publica La ciudad, de Mario Levrero. Esta fecha bisagra –literariay no política (como sería, en cambio, 1973)– se ha tomado comopunto de partida para seleccionar el conjunto de los veintiséis narradores y narradoras que forman parte del presente volumen antológico dedicado a la prosa de ficción contemporánea de Uruguay. Elementos como la heterogeneidad de formas y temas, la interculturalidad arraigada y una nunca renegada marginación periférica caracterizan un panorama literario marcado por unavisión variada de lo real, ya desligado tanto de los moldes histórico-culturales tradicionalmente asentados como de las expectativasde corte comercial (lo que permite que la escritura nacional sebeneficie de un mayor grado de autonomía en la experimentacióntemática y formal).
