Tejo
Juego de historias
by CONRADO BOCCO
Tejo es un entrelazado de tres historias presentadas con una literatura versátil. Cada una de ellas es dominada con un tono literario diferente. Es una novela conceptual en la que el autor juega con las letras, hechos y personajes desde la tapa hasta el Fin. El lector podrá ir saltando por los relatos o elegir solo uno de ellos. La historia de Adriano es divertida, juvenil; la de Camila es familiar y también histórica, de dramas y misterios, enclavada en la Argentina del 70. La de Extensísima de Los Milagros es un viaje a un tiempo desconocido, para descubrir los sucesos que vivió una civilización de nuestra Patagonia. A través de su mensaje,interpela a la sociedad actual. Tejo es una propuesta diferente, de la mano de una escritura ocurrente, profunda y emocionante, donde todos los hechos se conectan muy cerca del punto final.

Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir
by Willi Bolle
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

FictionOctober 2021Borges in Stockholm
A fiction that dismantles the bad habits of postmodernity.
by Sonia Dalton
Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the ambition of any self-respecting writer. Especially when he risks the glory of being the first to receive it in his country. After appearing in the favorites lists for several years, it seems that César Aira's time has come to enjoy that moment and that condition. This fiction narrates the vicissitudes of the writer's journey from Buenos Aires to Stockholm, his dreamy stay in the Nordic city and his return to an Argentina where he is not expected. In the end, the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature seems to have been awarded to the Eldense writer, with a Galician pedigree, Cesárea Areas. Through an extensive play on words, this parody tries to dismantle the remnants of postmodernity still in force in the literary and academic worlds. The key is humor, which, in order to be so, cannot fail to be corrosive. Also tenderness, because beneath the greatest ambitions the most insignificant motivations are usually to be found. It will please whoever manages to laugh, without guilt (or with it), at the most deeply rooted vices on the altars of culture and at the most recalcitrant social stereotypes. In short, whoever wants to take a walk through the nonsense, lift the cobblestones of postmodernity and peek at whatever may be underneath. A new normal?

Mujeres en torno al Surrealismo
by Victoria Combalía
What do these six women have in common, apart from having lived in an extraordinary world and era? They are better known as companions of the male protagonists of their time - Man Ray, Max Ernst, Samuel Beckett, André Breton, TS Eliot or Jean Cocteau, among others - than for their own works. However, they were much more than a name on a caption or a handsome face adorning parties and literary salons.
