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.

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.
Conceptualism in Latin American Art
Conceptualism played a different role in Latin American art during the 1960s and 1970s than in Europe and the United States, where conceptualist artists predominantly sought to challenge the primacy of the art object and art institutions, as well as the commercialization of art. Latin American artists turned to conceptualism as a vehicle for radically questioning the very nature of art itself, as well as art's role in responding to societal needs and crises in conjunction with politics, poetry, and pedagogy. Because of this distinctive agenda, Latin American conceptualism must be viewed and understood in its own right, not as a derivative of Euroamerican models. In this book, one of Latin Am...

México
Las guias convencionales para turistas no profundizan en los datos fundamentales de las zonas arqueologicas. Por su parte, los libros de arqueologia resultan muy dificiles de manejar para propositos practicos. Este volumen constituye la opcion ideal de informacion y uso. Presenta la evolucion de las grandes civilizaciones mexicanas, analizando los asentamientos urbanos mas importantes de los mayas, zapotecas, aztecas, y otros habitantes de esa region mesoamericana. El libro esta dividido en capitulos que estudian las distintas zonas y sus sitios arqueologicos. Textos y pies de foto, rigurosos pero sumamente claros, acompanados de esplendidas imagenes fotograficas y reconstrucciones tridimensionales, dibujos y varios mapas actualizados. Estas paginas son un valioso auxiliar para quien quiere visitar los principales sitios arqueologicos (contiene los cinco itinerarios mas importantes), y un estimulante instrumento para acercarse al complejo universo cultural y artistico de la epoca precolombina en America central.
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.
