Novela B
Una pareja que perdió a su hijo en un accidente inexplicable, dos viajeros que acaban viéndose implicados en un ritual caníbal, sectarios sanguinarios en motocicletas, buscadores de ovnis, hombres lobo beatniks, una joven con delirios mesiánicos obsesionada con la sangre, un perturbador asesino en serie… Todas estas historias se entrecruzan a un ritmo vertiginoso y convergen en una trama terrible, absurda y memorable a partes iguales. Mónica Bustos recurre a la tradición de la serie B para construir una narración intensa, repleta de intrigas descarnadas y escenas paródicas. El humor que se desprende de la narración es ácido y, el ambiente, bizarro a la par que cautivador. "Novela...
Humberstone
Un hombre regresa al pueblo fantasma donde perdió a su hija dispuesto a encontrarla o morir en el intento. La búsqueda se vuelve un extraño peregrinaje en la que intervienen coleccionistas de cabeza, humanoides de cavernas submarinas, criaturas mitologicas, cazadores furtivos y seres humanos perdidos. Una novela que se transforma como sus personajes, retratando a su manera el ciclo de la vida, la muerte y el renacimiento. Las desventuras del protagonista, a veces brutales, nos recuerdan que de vez en cuando todos somos forasteros en un mundo que apenas conocemos.
A Sense of Urgency
A study of how the climate crisis is changing human communication from a celebrated rhetorician. Why is it difficult to talk about climate change? Debra Hawhee argues that contemporary rhetoric relies on classical assumptions about humanity and history that cannot conceive of the present crisis. How do we talk about an unprecedented future or represent planetary interests without privileging our own species? A Sense of Urgency explores four emerging answers, their sheer novelty a record of both the devastation and possible futures of climate change. In developing the arts of magnitude, presence, witness, and feeling, A Sense of Urgency invites us to imagine new ways of thinking with our imperiled planet.

An Anatomy of the Distribution of Urban Income
This approach for analysis of distributional and other change in incomes in fast growing cities in the developing world is based on data from Bogota and Cali. Among the distinguishing features is the utilization of primary data from different household surveys, of comparable quality spread over six years. The paper uses different samples, inequality indices, income concepts, and ranking procedures in its analysis. Particular attention is paid to the existence of spatial inequality among different parts of the two cities by using an index of spatial income segregation. This is found to be very high when the cities are disaggregated spatially into radical sectors rather than into concentric ri...
