June 2021Fast ein Vater
by Alejandro Zambra, Susanne Lange
Als er nach neun Jahren seine erste Liebe wiedersieht, erhält Gonzalo eine zweite Chance. Und mit ihr eine Aufgabe: Vater sein. Denn während er sich in all der Zeit mit Haut und Haaren der Poesie verschrieb, bekam Carla einen Sohn. Der ist jetzt sechs, liebt Katzenfutter und wirkt mindestens genauso überrumpelt. Nicht nur deshalb will Gonzalo es besser machen als all die nichtsnutzigen Männer aus seiner Familie, sondern auch um seinem eigenen Scheitern endlich etwas entgegenzusetzen. Doch trotz allem bleibt er immer nur fast ein Vater. Und als er mit seiner Poesie eine zweite Chance erhält, scheint nichts naheliegender als der Verrat an sich und seinen Idealen. Ein Roman über das Gewicht der Liebe, über Vaterschaft und die tragischen, die komischen Befreiungskämpfe eines Mannes, der etwas anderes erwartet hat. Alejandro Zambra ist der große Virtuose der lateinamerikanischen Literatur, Fast ein Vater sein unbestrittenes Meisterwerk.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2007Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada
by Dominic Moran, Catherine Davies
Pablo Neruda's Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (1924) is the most widely read and best loved book of poetry ever written in Spanish. Its verses can be recited by heart by millions of Latin Americans from every background and walk of life, and it has become almost a bible for young lovers. Yet despite, or perhaps because of this immense popular success, it has received scant attention from scholars, often being studied out of context and in relatively superficial fashion. This new critical edition - the first to include critical notes in English - argues that the book constitutes a critical juncture in the young Neruda's development as a poet, and that the poems are as much painstakingly wrought experiments in style, language and form as they are outpourings of youthful passion. A detailed introduction in English demonstrates that the Viente poemas represent the culmination of complex and sometimes fraught poetic apprenticeship, significant traces of which can be found in the poems themselves. This is followed by a series of commentaries which offer close readings of all twenty-one poems, an extensive bibliography, a selected vocabulary, and a list of key rhetorical and metrical terms. ;

FictionLa hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)
Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)
by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo
It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.
