        Casta Diva

        by Alejandra Ángeles

        Alejandra Ángeles' first novel, "Casta Diva," also published by Fondo Blanco in 2023, is set in Mexico City and tells the story of two young women, Ágata and Catalina, who share the same dream: to become opera singers. This raises the question: what does it take to be an opera Diva? Ágata doesn't quite know, but she yearns to find out. Her questioning also touches Catalina, who senses the answer and plans the journey. Ágata has the voice, but not the character. Catalina, on the other hand, has the voice, the character, and the cunning to navigate the challenging operatic environment. Ágata comes from a small family background, while Catalina... Catalina brings the music, which will become an accomplice and intertwine their lives. Choruses, cantatas, zarzuelas, and operas will stage the situations they must face behind the scenes to secure a place at the Opera of Bellas Artes, and with it, the opportunity for something much greater.

        The Gospel of Prosperity

        Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick

        by Luis Miguel Estrada

        In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks  some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

        Minotaur Fighting

        by Tita Valencia

        In 1976, when Minotauromaquia was awarded the Xavier Villaurrutia prize, the Mexican literary system was scandalized with the bluntness that is used to deploy the love disagreement with one of the protagonists of the very masculine intelectual universe of that time. Maybe the most annoying fact was the extraordinary poetic ability that Valencia displayed to build a profound, moving and honest piece of art. To read these pages 43 years later is to give us the chance to make a series of questions that were urgent then and are even more urgent now.

        About Ausencia

        by María Luisa Mendoza

        It’s likely that Mexican literature hasn’t yet produced another character similar to Ausencia Bautista Lumbres, who went from an impoverished orphan to a rich girl due to the fact that her father bought a prosperous mine before dying. Being a free and independent woman, Ausencia devotes her life to enjoy several lovers and pleasures with the complicity of the faithful Enedina. The protagonist’s conflict comes from a deeper place, from the philosophical questioning of femininity and existence. The author breaks all limits by the use of a complicated language and narrative techniques, that also provoke a unique vertigo sensation. The final result is complex and funny at the same time.

        In State of Remembering

        by Tununa Mercado

        Due to the military dictatorship in Argentina, Tununa Mercado lived in Mexico for almost 13 years, from 1974 to 1987. Her experience, codified as a novel that breaks the frontiers between genres, depicts the exile as an intimate situation that unravels complex and devastating emotions, where the narrative voice resists oblivion, the body fights for a place in the world and the narrator’s gaze elaborates a myriad of details in order to place itself in reality. To read this book is to illuminate the darkest faces of uprooting, poverty and violence that millions of migrants suffer each year and that have become new forms of dictatorship.

        The Mirror’s Crypt

        by Marcela del Río

        Marcela del Río was a cultural attaché during the 70s in Prague. From that experience she wrote a magnificent novel about the decay of a Mexican family, a political system and a country lacerated by October 2 massacre. While the male character (an ambassador and pater familias) suffers the injustices of a decadent political system, the peripheral voices that surround him (his wife, his domestic employee, his rebel son) will question and try to transform the hegemonic structures that oppress them.

        The Place Where the Grass Grows

        by Luisa Josefina Hernández

        The extraordinary ability that Luisa Josefina Hernández displays in her drama acquires a different dimension in her novels. The author once said: “When I write a novel I’m free in time and space. There are no producers, no directors nor actors… nothing. Just me and the text”. The Place Where the Grass Grows, which was published for the first time in 1956 by the Universidad Veracruzana Press, presents a protagonist that submerges herself into the most subtle faces of her conflict. Imprisoned in her house due to a false robbery accusation, she writes a notebook to her first love that is at the same time an intimate and deep reflection about her situation and her identity as a woman.

        Latin American Short Story Writers

        by Pilar Dughi, Magda Zavala, Ivonne Recinos Aquino, Marta Brunet, Bertalicia Peralta, María Luisa de Luján Campos, Mercedes Durand, María Virginia Estenssoro, María Luisa Puga, Mimí Díaz Lozano, Mirta Yáñez, Gilda Holst, Marvel Moreno, Armonía Somers, Mercedes Gordillo, María Luisa Elío, Hilma Contreras, Silda Cordoliani, Rosario Ferré

        Maybe some of the best short stories written in Spanish aren’t what we thought they were. There are several unjustifiable absences, amazing works of art buried by misogyny, disdain or laziness. This anthology of Latin American writers was born to question the conviction that we know the best short stories written during the XX century. We want to destabilize our literary history. It’s necessary to reread our past in order to vindicate authors and texts that shouldn’t be forgotten. This book is only an example: twenty short stories –and twenty women writers– that establish a dialogue with each other from twenty different Latin American countries as well as Spain. The selection criteria is only, and foremost, artistic quality.

        Gaijin

        by Maximiliano Matayoshi

        Gaijin, which means “foreigner” in Japanese, is a production happily devoted to discovering the world and fascinations of others. Written in the great nikkei style, due to its ennunciative austerity and restraint, it proposes a message of permanence that hovers like an alarm over the empire of the fleeting, of emptiness and helplessness.With this novel, winner of the UNAM-Alfaguara prize in 2002, Maximiliano Matayoshi manages to move us, while kindly revealing the condition of the immigrant, of great relevance in all cultures and in all times. “Epic of the migrant and the ones who, living between two worlds, look for an identity, Gaijin is one of those novels you read with a tight heart and a smile upon the lips. A beautiful book, that once finished will be remembered with love for a long, long time”.Federico Falco
