        What the Pines See

        by Anna Soudakova

        A strong debut novel about Stalin’s atrocities and the importance of memories.   The novel, which tells about five generations, intertwines the persecution of Stalin, the childhood of Uzbekistan and the everyday life of immigrants. In 1936, Yuri celebrates his fifth birthday in Leningrad without knowing that by the end of the summer, his world would fall apart. There is a knock on the door at night, and men in grey uniforms take his father away. Soon his mother is imprisoned as well. Yuri and his sister stay with their grandparents, but when the grandparents pass away the children are sent to an orphanage in distant Uzbekistan. After the siege of Leningrad, the siblings stand at the door of their Leningrad home and learn that as children of enemies of the state they have no future in Soviet Union. The tenacious Yuri still struggles forward and has a family with whom he moves to Finland after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Immigrant life is full of ups and downs, but Yuri can never let go of his past. He has to find out what really happened to his parents. A search that will eventually take him to the mass graves of Sandarmokh. Soudakova’s magnificent and melancholic novel depicts the life of Yuri and his descendants from 1936 to the present day.   The gloom of life under the Stalinist regime and the dull greyness of socialism are in complete conflict with its ideals. Soudakova’s fine poetic language makes the contradiction feel even more severe. The cruelty of power, the fragility of humanity, and the thirst for life go hand in hand in an episodically progressive narrative. The pines of Sandarmokh see extreme horror but also almost touch the sky.

        Gold

        by Andrejs Upīts

        Augusts Sveilis Jr., the oldest son of a poor small-town tailor, is at the centre of the story in Gold. He and his family are tested suddenly and unexpectedly when Augusts, working as a servant, receives an inheritance from his mistress. The inheritance leads him (and his family) into a completely unfamiliar environment, one they had previously only seen from a distance. In this world, commercialism, intrigue, and the excesses of Rīga’s Latvian bourgeois inhabitants are everywhere. Here the slogan “Gold is life, gold is freedom, gold is everything” rules. Symbols of the era – shops or many types of goods, a car, and the bourgeois social circles of big-city Latvia – reveal the magical power of money, against which their country / small-town morals turn out to be powerless.

        5h 21m

        by Gabriela Couturier

        5h 21m is a literary essay that reflects upon running and marathons, trying to answer essential questions, such as: why and to what purpose does a person put on a pair of sneakers and runs. This is not a training manual or a book about the techniques of long distance running. Using running as a prop, the author talks about issues of youth, health, travels, and death. This is also an excercise in creative writing, and how it intersects with certain types of athletic pursuits. Also, the title refers to the 5 hours and 21 minutes which were the authors first registered time running the marathon’s distance of 26.2 miles.

        Cuentos META

        by Enrique Patiño, Hadley Pennington Keefe, Federico Palomera, Lautaro Vincon, Belén Palos, Thais Díaz Montalvo, María Toca, Dixon Acosta Medellín

        Is the goal the beginning or the end? Is the goal sequel or consequence? META Stories brings together eight narrative voices that transform realities, invert solutions and reconcile results with objectives, so that the purpose of their actions exceeds their own expectations. Some of the inhabitants of this playing field are: an ambitious journalist and an anti-establishment revolutionary planning known theories on outdated models; a perfect couple who decides their own path of perdition; a Russian teacher determined to beat the winter cold in postwar Spain; a young woman who finds a peculiar way of transmuting her family reality; a dressmaker's apprentice who in World War II Paris amends wrappings and fabrics; a mother who is reborn in a story already written; a woman who prefers to live to imagine, and for whom an outcome is reconstructed; and a man who learns the true meaning of not scoring a goal. The characters and voices in these stories pose new challenges in the extremes of a biographical journey in which the beginning and the end are part of a process of knowledge.

        by Ignacio Pato

        Whose football is it? Judging by the direction it's taking, men in suits and expensive perfumes are about to expropriate a sport that belonged to the people. Now that the ball is moving away from the stands, this book redirects the focus and points to the fan. Ignacio Pato travels through eight cities to meet eight clubs and eight feelings: those of the fans of Liverpool, AEK, Napoles, Velez Mostar, Olympique de Marseille, Rapid Vienna, Besiktas and Rayo Vallecano. Communities that are a beacon of resistance and romance. With an enthusiastic style, the author runs away from the past to strengthen a relationship that will never be broken. Soccer is the people's game.

        Why I can't like him/her?

        by Anna Claudia Ramos, Antônio Schimeneck

        Adolescence is a time of many doubts, anxieties and uncertainties. In this phase, sexuality is unfolding, and we are going through — because everyone has gone, is going or will go through — self-questions about all conditions, all desires, including regarding sexuality. If on the one hand, we see in beautiful social networks beautiful movements of self-acceptance and discovery, on the other hand we live in a time of great obscurantism and attempt to cage the desires and contain the experiences of young people – whether at home or at school, and unfortunately, many times, with public authority initiative. This book asks this of young people, who often find themselves trapped by a cultural need (or family pressure) to create heteronormative bonds, when, in fact, they feel the desire for people of the same sex. But this book also understands that it is necessary to take this issue to the world, so that everyone reflects on otherness, sexuality and, mainly, the many possibilities of affection and desire. Por que não consigo gostar dele/dela? is a book with two sides, two covers, four stories and many testimonials.
