Alias el rucio
First published in Spanish during 2015, 'Alias el Rucio' is the second novel of Chilean author Monica Rios. Alias el Rucio es una novela en contra del racismo, la misoginia y la univocidad que fundan la narrativa chilena. Esta segunda novela de Monica Rios esta protagonizada por dos hombres que planean un documental, en busca de la identidad de una persona enferma, momificada y desaparecida que en todos los archivos tiene el nombre de Rucio o Rocio. A partir de los mismos fotogramas de la pelicula aparecen los posibles relatos del montaje, del guion, de los extras, del discurso medico, de lo espectral y de los derechos animales, hasta hacer colisionar el neobarroco con el discurso de la produccion, el 'Fausto' de Goethe con 'Los nueve libros de la historia', Bernhard con las cosmogonias mapuche y egipcia, para senalar asi que el lugar de la tradicion no es lo cosmopolita, lo docto ni lo abstracto, sino la intensidad de los relatos locales, sus juegos corporeos y la profundidad de una denuncia politica."

Why Translation Matters
"Why Translation Matters argues for the cultural importance of translation and for a more encompassing and nuanced appreciation of the translator's role. As the acclaimed translator Edith Grossman writes in her introduction, "My intention is to stimulate a new consideration of an area of literature that is too often ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented." For Grossman, translation has a transcendent importance: "Translation not only plays its important traditional role as the means that allows us access to literature originally written in one of the countless languages we cannot read, but it also represents a concrete literary presence with the crucial capacity to ease and make more meaningful our relationships to those with whom we may not have had a connection before. Translation always helps us to know, to see from a different angle, to attribute new value to what once may have been unfamiliar. As nations and as individuals, we have a critical need for that kind of understanding and insight. The alternative is unthinkable"."--Jacket.
The Enchanted Night
Transporting stories of intrigue, superstition and rivalry from a European master, in English for the first time In this stark, haunting collection, Miklós Bánffy narrates with wry wisdom stories of cunning, betrayal and myth ranging from classical antiquity to the Transylvania of his own day. These are communities of sharp rivalries and religious superstition: young Borbálka, about to marry an unsuitable man, receives strange counsel from a suspicious figure in her village; four men seek to exploit the captive Gavrila Lung for money, while mountain wolves howl in the distance; when Old Damaskin betrays his stepson to hold on to his land, his wife extracts bizarre revenge. Translated into English for the first time by the award-winning Len Rix, this collection further establishes Bánffy as one of the foremost European writers of the twentieth century.
Segundos
Published during 2010 in Spanish, 'Segundos' is the first novel of Chilean author Monica Rios. Que paso durante los cuatro minutos y pocos segundos que transcurrieron entre el disparo que mato a Denisse Vuskovic y el que mato a Nicolas Owen, esa noche en que la ex pareja mas popular del colegio se encontro en la pieza de los padres de el por ultima vez? Como hoyos negros que surgen por la muerte de los astros mas luminosos de una juventud mal recordada, orbitan en 'Segundos' la iniciacion sexual de una timida adolescente, el aprendizaje de un profesor socialista en el aciago erotismo del campo chileno y la conformacion de un grupo neonazi de escolares que tambien es un equipo deportivo, una banda que trafica droga, una asociacion catolica. Esta primera novela de Monica Rios es un coro de voces que ensaya innumeras versiones de un crimen que no origina culpables ni victimas, solo fantasmas."
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
