Fiction
Una música futura
by María José Navia
Description
In "Una música futura" ("A future music"), awarded Best Literary Works 2019 in the category of unpublished short stories, María José Navia delves into intimate relationships mediated and sometimes infected by technology. Screens and screen-families, women who take refuge in the excess of information or try to completely disconnect from the world, foreigners who face fierce self-demanding or frankly violent scenarios.
Seven stories that reflect on the possibilities of a threatening future where the uncertainty of our time seems to sing a secret and disturbing melody from which perhaps books can save us.

Kindberg
Spanish literary fiction. House founded in 2015 in Valparaíso (Chile). We want to provide a haven for readers in times of storm. Now that the arrival of new titles is overwhelming, at Kindberg we are committed to a detailed rhythm, to slow-publishing instead of disposable titles. The books we choose are the ones we like and that is why we believe in them and we want other readers to like them. And yes, we only publish fiction, because "poetry, beauty, art, love are the things that keep us alive".
