        Snooker at the Swiss club

        by Guillermo Fadanelli

        Snooker at the Swiss club (El billar de los suizos: Cal y Arena, México city, 2017) is a book that explores traveling by memory. As Fadanelli stated at some obscure moment: “the only time you actually get to live something, is when you have the time to remember it”. Destinies around the globe (from Smirna to Lyon, Madrid to Berlin, Venice to Leukerbad and the not less exotic Mexico City) give the pretext to think about things lived and seen. Nevertheless, it is important to warn the reader that this is not going to be a travel journal, but the sediment of the strange event of remaining alive after several decades of exploring the menial details of the world. Ghosts of other writers, cities and the people tied to them are the core of this book. Melancholy and irony are always invited, old friends that fortunately always tag along in his texts. guillermofadanelli.com

        Tenant´s prayers

        by Guillermo Fadanelli

        Tenant´s prayers ( Plegarias de un inquilino: Cal y Arena, Mexico City, 2005) is a book about brief encounters, miscellaneous readings and frivolous essays. Philosophy and literature are here accompanied with autobiographical snaps and irony as the guest of honor. Fadanelli´s writing blossoms greatly in short texts, where he explores with distracted erudition a great number of subjects. From past loves lived in cheap student´s pensions, to deserts, to the stupidity of family arguments over dinner. Pessoa, George Steiner, Carson McCullers and Paul Feyerabend are as other, invited too. All of these issues and names are explored with the discrete companionship of literature, that somehow makes a bit of sense from all these events lived and remembered (therefore, lived again). In this compilation, essays are short and sharp, like bullets from a machine gun loaded with a mixture of melancholy, introspection, humor and humanistic cynicism. guillermofadanelli.com

        My Dead Women

        by Guillermo Fadanelli

        Domingo has decided to fulfill the mission entrusted to him by his older brothers: placing a tombstone on his mother's grave. Time passes and the tombstone remains in the trunk of his car without having this man organizing himself to set out for the cemetery. Drunkenness is a difficult obstacle to overcome. Every morning he promises his absent mother that he will fulfill the mission, but once again breaks his oath. The death of his wife ends up undermining his lucidity and placing him in a state of constant delirium. Time transforms him into a melancholic, sullen and harmless man who quotes passages from Russian novels by heart and talks to his dead women. While this is happening the eyes of a teenage girl do not stop observing his behavior, it is her neighbor, the youngest of all the women with whom Domingo has managed to establish a true friendship. "Is it possible to communicate with people of that age?" He wonders as his confusion grows. My Dead Women is a novel about melancholy and human loneliness faced by a man whose drunkenness made him an expert on the states of the soul. guillermofadanelli.com

        Fandelli

        by Guillermo Fadanelli

        The novel consists of a kind of dialogue between a man who remembers his youth (Fandelli) and a ruthless and cruel critical voice that is born or comes from the tormented or tragic consciousness of Fandelli himself. In this story, as part of the scenography, the reader finds the poverty of some marginal neighborhoods, the architecture of “Colonial” and modern Mexico, the public Mexican university strike in 1986, and the intimate story of the main character’s family.The novel is brief, intimate, sharp and insolent. The rhythm of the narration is vertiginous. We could say that it’s a prose poetry book. It has been published only in Mexico in 2019. But it has free rights outside of this country.   guillermofadanelli.com

        Mein Kampf

        by Ari Volovich

        Mein Kampf, a novel written by the Mexican-Jew Ari Volovich where he recounts the steps through his life without apparent meaning: “humor, if it is black or an intelligent game, makes the writer someone who cannot yet be tamed. Against social taming and in favor of uncomfortable laughter, Ari Volovich gave Moho his recent novel: Mein Kampf (Mi lucha). Volovich is a storyteller who describes the world around him with resignation and reluctance, malice and out-of-the-box humor. He is averse to brutal nationalisms and traditions turning extremism. Sarcasm, already illustrated from the title, and mockery aimed at the hypocrisy of communal, family and class progress are constant in this novel." Guillermo Fadanelli
