        by Suzette Celaya

        Carbón rojo

        by Mónica Castellanos

        Carmina talks to the dead since she was a child. She lives in a world of darkness where the regret and the desire for her revenge kept her in the depths of a dead home, haunted by feelings as black as the coal that can be found in the mines of Coahuila. In a mantel she embroiders with black hair the names of the Calderón family, who she hates. In the center of it, stands out the name El Cura, a priest from the past who for her it is not worth to even mention his name. When her sister, Ada, dies, she has no other option than to turn to her past, meet up with her relatives, and try to reconstruct her story. On the other hand, the death of various miners in Pasta de Conchos bring up in Bernardo, Carmina's nephew, the memories of poverty and the anger of injustice that he will try to recompose through his work as a journalist. In this novel, Mónica Castellanos retraces the journey to hell, including the personal ones, like Carmina's and Bernardo's, as well as those of the miners who died due to the negligence of many and who, once again, were buried in the shadows.

        Kintsugi

        by María José Navia

        How can a family be told? What are the pieces that make up your memory? What do we know about someone, beyond what they decide to show us? In Kintsugi, a family breaks down and those who make it up look for ways -sometimes subtle, sometimes extreme- to repair it. Characters who take refuge in their jobs or in caring for others, who need technology as a way to organize their affections, to perform small gestures of vigilance or even to survive in a precarious world. In the manner of the Japanese art that gives this book its title, María José Navia recomposes in this novel-in-stories the broken lives of its characters, beautifully highlighting the scars of those who leave and those who remain.

        Sara

        by Maivo Suárez

        It is a cold winter in Santiago de Chile and Sara, a sixty-three-year-old retired secretary, will live alone for the first time in her life. Far from being sad, she feels that she will finally be able to carry her own life. But Julia arrives at the apartment building, and the throbbing youth of this new neighbor will also bring new lenses with which to look at reality. While cutting expenses to survive on a paltry pension, Sara looks back at her life and the past. To the memories add up the aging body, loneliness and faint projects. And yet life gives her a chance. Will it be too late to take it? In Sara, an impressive psychological portrait awarded the 2017 Gabriela Mistral Literary Games award for an unpublished novel, the author Maivo Suárez brings before our eyes a character that has rarely been written about: a separated and poor old woman, the perfect second-best, whose details she manages to draw thanks to an accurate and devastating analysis that underlines the shortcomings of today's society. A literary debut with the soul of a classic.

        Orfandad

        by Karina Sosa

        A daughter finds a rift in her family: her parents are separated and the house where she and her siblings are growing up is becoming increasingly populated by memories. In June 2006, the father of Karina--the protagonist of this story--leads a social struggle to topple Oaxaca's government and seek justice. A battle that brings along the stigma of prison. A fight that leaves the city burning. While dealing with her father's abandonment and social persecution, Karina tries to figure out who she has been and who she is now as a woman. She pushes the roadblocks in her memory to reach the past, her unstable and sorrowful childhood: the dark zone from which the long shadow of a totemic father emerges. In this, her second novel, Karina Sosa amplifies her stylistic talent and gives us a deep, nostalgic, hurt story. A book where she courageously subdues words such as love and freedom. Orphaned asks: Can you dig deep and come out unharmed? And it answers: No way.

        La soberana idiotez

        by Carolina Musa

        Poetry is nomade, has no home. So is this book. That's why anything that seems idiotic hides a question about its weight. Urban poems, they talk about inaction, the intersection of all obligations and they also talk to the void we percibe in all things.

        Elefantes en el cuarto

        by Infante, Sindy

        The innocent task of organizing the room unleashes in Sindy a chain of memories of her youth and childhood, of her love for sports, for drawing, of her first boyfriends and girlfriends. She always felt out of place until she discovered which team she wanted to play for. This autobiographical comic book explores Sindy Infante's childhood and youth, her family relationships, her love for sports and, above all, the fact that she grew up in Bogotá as a lesbian. The book reconstructs with an innocent drawing style the story of the protagonist/drawer, who evokes memories from objects in her room. The result is an honest story, which does not fall into the predictable and with which it is very easy to identify.

        The Book of our Absences

        by Eduardo RUIZ SOSA

        A journey through the scenes of the disappeared people in contemporary Mexico. Eduardo Ruiz Sosa : “A natural talent for the lyrical sentence.” Nadal Suau, El Cultural, El Mundo.A totally personal narrative form, similar to a Homeric poem, a long ancient song. Brilliant. Orsina is a theatre actress who becomes seriously ill. Her disappearance messes up the lives of those around her, especially that of Teoría Ponce and Róldenas, brothers who are heirs to a bankrupt printing press and who devote themselves to searching for her, confronting the atrocious world of the disappeared people. Between attempts to preserve the printing press, theatrical performances and a cast of characters as absurd as they are real, the novel takes us from the violent present to the maddening past of a historical figure marked by delirium and death: José de Gálvez, Visitor General of New Spain, incarnated in an old theatre actor who plays him in the last role of his life. The book Of Our Absences is a story about the disappearances in the north of Mexico, the violence of drug trafficking, the clandestine graves in the desert and the sierra. A journey of multiple voices and stories, of times that overlap and interweave. It is the intimate story of some absences, of mothers searching for their children, of spaces that have to be transformed in order to continue to exist.
