Biography & True StoriesMay 2019Heroes and Lovers
by Jon Elsby
What is a tenor? What makes some tenors great? Why are tenors so rare? Heroes and Lovers suggests answers to these questions and offers critical essays on twenty-six tenors and shorter assessments of thirty-four others. The tenors covered range from Francesco Tamagno, the first Otello, and Fernando de Lucia, both of whom recorded in the early years of the twentieth century, to Joseph Calleja and Rolando Villazón today. The book also comprises an introductory essay and separate essays on the early tenors of the recorded era, the popular tenors, the British tenors, and the specialist categories of Mozart tenors and Heldentenors. This is a personal selection and it will please, stimulate, provoke, and infuriate in equal measure. Available at Amazon and other online retailers.

Ascópolis
by José Ángel Balmori
Ascópolis turns the most tragic stories into absurdities and scenes of endless laughter. The grotesque and the gore, the cheesy and the dirty are its specialties. He prefers scoundrels to heroes. "Ascópolis" has no moral sense, no scruples. It wants to make people laugh more than presenting a great reflection. They are visceral short stories with unrelenting honesty that might annoy anyone.

November 2020Epaminondas Goiabeira & the Hapiness Machine
by Júlio Emílio Braz
Julio Emilio Braz brings us a story where time is the preponderant element: the past dialogues with the more-than-perfect past tense. And, in this confluence of times, the Spanish flu comes, a more striking plague that plagued humanity in the last century. Lightly, but at the same time dense, Júlio brings strong themes such as the loss of loved ones and new affectionate relationships. The graphic design is by Raquel Matsushita, who already brings some of the gear of this time machine to the cover. Finalist book AEI-LIJ Literature Award.
