        Fragments of a Crime

        by Max Valdés Avilés

        “Fragments of a Crime” is a work that fits firmly within the genre of the crime novel and psychological thriller. Max Valdés Avilés has managed to weave a complex and absorbing plot, where each fragment of information is crucial to unravel the central mystery. Strengths: Enveloping Narrative: The author's ability to create a tense atmosphere and keep the reader in constant suspense is one of the novel's greatest achievements. Each chapter is carefully constructed, slowly revealing details that hold the reader's interest and urge him or her to keep reading. Character Development: Valdés Avilés does not settle for presenting one-dimensional characters. On the contrary, he delves into their psychologies, exploring their motivations and traumas. This depth adds an additional layer of realism and complexity to the story, making the characters more than just narrative tools. Intricate Plot: The plot structure, with its numerous twists and surprises, is a highlight. The author deftly handles the different narrative threads, weaving a web of secrets and lies that unfold in a satisfying manner. Themes and Context: Beyond the central mystery, the novel deals with universal themes such as corruption, betrayal and the search for truth. This adds an extra dimension to the work, allowing for reflections on human nature and the complexities of morality.

        Allende's Children

        Our history is memory. Collective biographies.

        by Myriam Carmen Pinto

        These stories and testimonies address experiences of struggles that took place within Chile during the Popular Unity government, the civil-military dictatorship, and the post-dictatorship period. Together, they construct a collective memory that reveals the repressive scaffolding of a terrorist state; individual and collective experiences, and lessons learned in exile; the process of rearticulating the social fabric and the return of the historical left; rejection of the model and environmental destruction and commodification of rights; the continued relevance of Allendism and new actors, including a human rights institutional framework, relatives of genocidal perpetrators, citizenship, and a living memorial militancy for truth, justice, the value of democracy, and social peace

        La 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.

        A Genious and a Scoundrel

        by María Luisa Martínez

        How did a Caravaggio, painted between 1605 and 1609, end up at a Madrid auction in 2021? Un Genio y un Canalla meticulously reconstructs the Ecce Homo's mysterious journey, a painting initially attributed to José de Ribera, now recognized as the work of the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Spanning the Italian Baroque, the post-war era, and the 21st century, María Luisa Martínez Haces's novel explores the creation, hidden trajectory, and astonishing rediscovery of this lost masterpiece, guiding us through interconnected lives caught in a web of artistic ambition, human passions, and moral compromises. From its genesis to its clandestine passage to Spain, to the detective work that unearthed its true origins – revealing it in the hands of a Spanish family before its acquisition by a British collector – the novel weaves historical fact with fictional characters, culminating in its current display at the Museo del Prado, a testament to the enduring power of hidden truths. Like Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring, Un Genio y un Canalla ignites the imagination, but unlike its predecessor, this novel dares to expose the high price of artistic genius, blurring the line between what we believe and what we know to be true.

        Gabriela Mistral. The poets have chosen you

        by Gabriela Mistral

        “Poets reading and choosing Mistral's poetry”. Something unique, in that this reading makes it possible to design for the first time an architecture of Gabriela Mistral's poetry from her various books, constructed by the poets themselves. It is a novel selection, where poetry becomes central and endogenous, to acquire a greater vitality since her work stands out through the reading made by great Chilean poets, such as Raúl Zurita, Óscar Hahn, Carmen Berenguer, Andrés Morales, Jaime Quezada, Teresa Calderón, Eugenia Brito, Soledad Fariña, Damaris Calderón, Horacio Eloy and Héctor Hernández Montecinos.

        Magazines and literary publications during the dictatorship in Chile (1973–1990)

        by Horacio Eloy

        The publication of this book is the culmination of a long process. In it, I have sought to convey, albeit partially, the history of certain literary publications and to allow them to speak for themselves in their context, in the press of the time, in interviews, reviews, and commentaries, recounting their evolution through their editorials, poems, manifestos, stories, and chronicles—in short, in the words of their creators, many of whom remain faithful to the “craft” they began in those days. As Horacio Eloy points out, Revistas y publicaciones literarias en dictadura (1973-1990) provides a general overview of the period, offering an interesting journey through all the publications produced from Arica to Punta Arenas. This research will undoubtedly become essential reference material for those who wish to learn about the role that culture played during this bloody period.

        The Stranger Times

        by C.K. McDonnell

        The international 6-figure/6-way auction comic fantasy thriller by bestselling author CK McDonnell. There are dark forces at work in our world so thank God The Stranger Times is on hand to report them... A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable . . . At least that’s their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little (and believes less) of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits, each with their own secrets to hide and axes to grind. And as for the assistant editor… well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who’s got her own set of problems. It’s when tragedy strikes in Hannah’s first week on the job that The Stranger Times is forced to do some actual investigative journalism. What they discover leads them to a shocking realisation: that some of the stories they’d previously published but dismissed as nonsense are in fact terrifyingly real. Soon they come face-to-face with darker foes than they could ever have imagined. It’s one thing reporting on the unexplained and paranormal but it’s quite another being dragged into the battle between the forces of Good and Evil . . . The Stranger Times combines Caimh McDonnell’s distinctive dark wit with his love of the weird and wonderful to deliver a joyous celebration of how truth really can be stranger than fiction.
