March 2022Flora y fauna
by Leticia Rivas
What does being a twin mean? What does being a twin mean to others and to yourself? Suburbian SMEs, old communist militants, cell-phone sales strategies, beer-flavored kisses, Tinder dates, phobias, millennial entrepreneurship, and the motherhood question: the characters in these stories inhabit these unstable and difficult territories where the challenge is not only to find their way in the world but to differentiate themselves with precision–in the chiaroscuro of contemporary times–where do one’s own story and desires begin and end?With flashes of humor that don’t shy away from irony or tenderness, a sharp and precise eye for emotion, and a disarming profoundness, these stories by Leticia Rivas impress with their extraordinary skill and move you from the first to the last page.

Children's & YAA Long Journey
by Diego Muñoz Valenzuela, Virginia Herrera
Eri began his journey looking for something he didn't know what it was. He walked and walked and, on his path, found a sleeping colossus, a dangerous iridescent rooster, dogs fond of extravagant games and evil pygmies. A gallery of mad, sad, ferocious and tender beings, eager to experience love and hate. Will Eri grow enough on his journey to fill the void that he feels? Diego Muñoz Valenzuela is one of the most important short storytellers in Latin America. On this trip with Eri, we are touched and surprised.

July 2015Quiero ser artista
by Pablo Ottonello
Nothing is known beforehand of these blind, halftruths distributed in “Kovacic,” nor of the apparent lack of turbulence that imprints “Founding a sex” with a kind of backdrop scenery, or of the speck of flour or talcum powder that confines “Buy cream” to a whiteness that plays on two points, from the hinting glimpse to the concluding sentence with experimentation and innocence. Quiero ser artista changes from a yearning and methodical aspiration into a tautological confession: Literature is the best possible means for such things to happen.

FictionHISTORICAL
by Selection and editing by Marta Mearin and Juan Francisco Bascuñán Illustrations: Joanna Styrylska-Gałażyn
Historical is a journey through the lives of 15 women who made history, based on illustrations of them by Polish artist Joanna Styrylska-Gałażyn. These graphic representations are accompanied by texts of diverse literary genres, written especially for this edition by young writers of different nationalities: Chilean, Latin American, Catalan. For each character, a brief biography and a text is included that seeks to connect the reader to the woman being honored, mixing real information with fictitious events: some occur in the future, others explore the most intimate dimension of the protagonist or personify her through poetry. The illustrations and stories that make up this book seek to make visible the importance of women in the immense number of areas from which they have been systematically excluded: science, art, technology, sports, activism and academia, among others. In this way, the book concentrates different aspects of feminist struggles capable of transcending time and space.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)March 20182001 Punto Cero
by Carlos A. Colla
Welcome to a luminous journey, at times hilarious, that crosses the misery and dissects the hypocrisy of an abandoned society that struggles to emerge from the abyss. In a Buenos Aires besieged by violence and poverty in the worst economic and ethical crisis in contemporary Argentina, the lives of a select few are shipwrecked in a country that is crumbling. Prostitutes, unemployed workers and cartoneros merge in a ravaged city, pierced by anarchic holes of poverty, evictions and unemployment. Thanks to an unknown fate, the protagonist, disenchanted and responsible for his family, advances between the absurdity of the crisis, in a forward flight, without rest or contemplation, to try to recover a destiny torn from the roots. What could be the destination of such a particular transit?
