Sobre el beso del viento
"El tiempo y la ausencia son los ejes temáticos centrales de este libro de tono reflexivo y coloquial a la vez. La atmósfera íntima y cotidiana de los poemarios anteriores de esta prolífica escritora paraguaya es también una constante de este libro"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58
Lenguas de la Madre Tierra
Este volumen es un homenaje a dos grandes figuras de las culturas indígenas de América que nos abandonaron recientemente, Francisco Toledo y Humberto Ak ́abal, y al mismo tiempo un reconocimiento a dos poetas actuales (Susy Delgado, Vicenta María Siosi), pero que pertenecen ya a la historia de las respectivas literaturas. Para resaltar su extraordinario valor invitamos a participar como presentadores a tres grandes estudiosos de las literaturas indígenas americanas, Donald H. Frischmann, Tadeo Zarratea y Miguel Rocha Vivas. El libro recoge las aportaciones de todos ellos a dos eventos que tuvieron lugar en la Feria Internacional del Libro, edición 2019, bajo los títulos Homenaje Póstumo a Humberto Ak ́abal y Recital Lenguas de la Madre Tierra in memoriam Francisco Toledo. La colección 'Miguel León-Portilla' se fortalece con este volumen que documenta la contribución más valiosa del Encuentro de Literaturas en Lenguas Originarias de América al programa cultural de la FIL.

Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
