Biography & True StoriesThe Story of Y
by Yareli Arizmendi
The Story of Y, fits inside the genre of Memoir without being a linear biography or a reflection at a distance. With its first person of the present narrative point of view, it insists in jumping back in time to understand what was brewed there and if it became (or not), a crucial part of what is today. The main character, driven by a tragic event - the death of her father, whom she never saw again since she was nineteen- reluctantly must rearrange the boxes in that closet in which, when she was young, managed to pile the unnecessary and close the door…until today.

by Carlos Gaviria Arbeláez
Sweet, salty or with a neutral flavor, arepas, an essential food in the diet of Colombians, are the protagonists in this book, which compiles the preparation techniques of 60 different types of arepas. From a dough that is assembled in different ways, either freehand, with a cutter, stuffed with double dough, stuffed with double arepa, cooked on the grill, slabs, pots, ovens or fried, the arepas that are prepared in the different areas of the country are arracacha, rice, corn, fermented corn, peeled and threshed corn; yam, potato, banana, wheat and cassava.

Classic crimeDecember 2012The Analyst
by Brandon Rolfe
Set in Victorian London, The Analyst follows a trail of intrigue in a realistic period setting reflecting a 'modern' scientific society that still drags a dark underside of squalid desolation. It tells of a grim struggle -- a tragedy -- of a man's sanity slipping away, gradually deteriorating to the point of him eventually going over the edge with horrendous consequences. His brain screamed. The room rapidly becoming claustrophobic, with the walls crushing in on his mind. If he remained here it would suffocate him, annihilate him. Destruction now reared up in his mind, a heaving black monster held back on naught but feeble leash. The novel is directed at the psychological conscience-probing mystery section of the fiction market, the main character's mental conflict, with its hauntingly mind-searching flashbacks, putting it into the Freudian/Hyde bracket.

Vida que resurge en las orillas" (Life that resurfaces on the shores) compiles ten years of the work of Manuel Amador and the Women, Art and Politics Workshop, which has inspired dozens of collective actions to confront violence against women in Ecatepec and the rest of Mexico. The protagonists of these actions are co-authors of the book. The voices and images gathered in this book are one of the most important experiences for the construction of peace and justice through art in recent years. In this insistence appeared a pedagogy from the bodies and the art, a pedagogy of the performance against the damage and the mistreatment; a knowledge as answer before the destruction of lives, an alternative speech of human rights before the precarization and the silencing. Actions of performance that generate, from the body, a ritual... For justice and the knowledge that is born from those bodies, for hope and memory"".
