A Machado de Assis Anthology in Translation
The stories contained in this collection should give the reader who is new to Machado a glimpse of his extraordinary skill and range as an author of short stories. They include the evocative character studies of Her Arms and The Fortuneteller, the haunting terror of The Secret Cause, the political and religious satire of The Most Serene Republic and The Devil's Church, and early forays into the fantastic such as A Skeleton. These are not meant to be the best stories Machado de Assis ever wrote - though it does include indelible classics like Midnight Mass and A Famous Man - but rather an entry point for readers interested in an author Susan Sontag once called "the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America."
Monica
Monica é uma série de narrativas interconectadas que contam a história de vida – histórias, na verdade – de sua personagem principal. Clowes coloca no papel uma vida inteira de inspiração para criar a graphic novel mais complexa e pessoal de sua distinta carreira. Rica em detalhes visuais, com um traço impecável para a linguagem e o diálogo, além de reviravoltas emocionantes, Monica é uma obra-prima em camadas, que faz referência a muitos dos gêneros que definiram os quadrinhos enquanto mídia – guerra, romance, horror, crime, sobrenatural etc. –, mas de uma maneira misteriosa, indescritível e essencialmente clowesiana, que convida a múltiplas leituras.

The Unmentionables
"Set in western equatorial Africa, The Unmentionables opens with a pugnacious monologue warning the audience to get out while they still have a chance to do something really fun - like watch cable television. Those who resist this directive are treated to a biting satire featuring four Americans hoping to "do good in the world": a young Christian missionary and his ex-fiancee, a disenchanted Hollywood actress, and an aging, wealthy businessman and his desperately lonely wife. A fire set at the missionary's home ignites a night of painful disillusionment, as their notions of how to help the locals are exploded by the realities of money, power, and politics. The stakes rise steadily until they are forced to confront the question of the value of a single life." --Book Jacket.
