      • UN TIRO EN EL BRONCE

        by JORGE ALLINEY

        Es una historia de recelo y hostilidad de argentinos hacia bolivianos. La acción transcurre a lo largo de un día en El Bronce, un barrio en la ficción sobre la ribera del río donde conviven ambas nacionalidades. Tres jóvenes pendencieros, provocadores, que actúan al margen de la ley, no soportan las diferencias, ven a sus conciudadanos bolivianos, distintos y amparados por una policía corrupta, quieren expulsarlos, pero no será fácil, deben superar una firme resistencia. La jornada de violencia comienza con el robo a un trabajador boliviano, continúa con una pelea en un bar donde vuelan trompadas por el aire, sigue el asalto a un barrio exclusivo y ya cuando el sol se ha puesto en el cielo y bajo un brillo de una luna llena, argentinos y bolivianos, tres por bando, al mejor estilo del Viejo Oeste, se enfrentan en una pelea a puño limpio y, en el fragor de la riña, el disparo de un tiro en la noche desencadena la tragedia.

        Cybertlön

        by Luis Sagasti

        Few Argentinian authors narrate in the interstice of speculative fiction and essay, between story and aesthetics. Luis Sagasti is a ferocious reader and demonstrates his sophisticated ear without resorting to solemnity or shouting, adept at finding the threads that secretly bind John Cage, the Beatles, Picasso, Ariana Harwicz, and César Aira. Cybertlön is a lucid essay about the state of contemporary art and the emergence of the cyberflâneur: a landlubber who surfs the web and reflects on the wreckage of his experience. But as a boy, Sagasti learned to travel much earlier, like so many of his generation, by browsing the massive and unpretentious I Know Everything encyclopedia from Larousse, a compendium of the world in 12 volumes, with no clear logic or order. From those first readings and his democratic and unbiased attention to the world, Sagasti builds his own Aleph.

        Wake up, Ramón! What are you looking for? Why? After the partial loss of his memory, Ramón Mitra embarks on an introspective journey that takes him to a destination not imagined. In a delirious transition between reality and possibility, revisiting specific moments of his past, the protagonist of the novel will persist in his efforts to recover the pieces of himself that are missing. With the help of a young nurse, a philosophy student, a pharmacist reading Freud and a provincial secretary, Ramón struggles to achieve enlightenment through his personal odyssey, in which the fight against desire will be the mark of his itinerary. Set in mid-20th century Spain, nothing will be accidental in the history of Ramón Mitra: not his name, not the tests to which he will be subjected, neither the absences nor the presences of his journey.

        El indio ciclope (The Indian cyclops)

        by Guillermo Roz

        Not so much an illustrated novel as a technicolour delirium. Martin Scorsese meets Jack Kerouac under LSD. Enter, read and discover. The grotesque and fearsome Diotisalvi brothers control all the illegal business in New York. One day, completely by surprise, multi-millionaire Camel Horovitz exiles them and imposes a new reign of terror. Old Camel will only allow the Diotisalvi to return to New York on one impossible condition: they must find a way to rid him of the double hump that has earned him his nickname. The Diotisalvis embark upon a crazy adventure in search of a solution, a journey that will take them to Ushuaia, at the very ends of the earth. There, they will encounter Carlos Gardel’s albino twin, Charles Darwin’s lost son, a Madrileñan bullfighter and his bulls, a woman who is crossing Patagonia on foot and gradually becomes black, a dinosaur, a vast ship, a forgotten jazz singer, the Japanese creator of Godzilla, an Indian woman who speaks 364 languages... And a Cyclops, that mysterious legend, a phenomenon capable of performing a thousand and one miracles. “The words that could have come from the writer, are providedhere by the illustrator. One might think that going through life withonly one eye would impede a person’s vision but in the case ofthis Patagonian native it is an advantage, because it enables himto do something that the rest of us – mafia hitmen, albino singers,dinosaur hunters or black servants – cannot: to see the comic sideof tragic situations. We invite the readers of this book to follow suit.To laugh, because life is short and it usually ends badly. And that’sthat.” - Oscar Grillo illustrator of the novel

        Chile geopoético

        by Miguel Laborde

        Esta publicación reúne veintiocho columnas del investigador, académico y escritor Miguel Laborde, con ilustraciones de Alejandra Acosta, publicadas en la revista La Panera. Sus textos dan cuenta de una serie de datos geográficos e históricos que permiten asomarse a ciertos rasgos distintivos de Chile desde los cuales se construye un relato del imaginario local. La geopoética como concepto nace como una herramienta para comprender y expresar nuestra relación con el mundo y el pensar a la Tierra. Considera la cultura como el modo en el que los seres humanos se conciben a sí mismos y se organizan y orientan. “Desde el punto de vista literario, un libro como este, que corrió el riesgo de ser concebido por la vía de la protesta en un lenguaje de pura comunicación, es, por el contrario, un libro poético, de excelente prosa, de gran riqueza de imágenes y sorpresas de lógica e ilógica. Su crítica al modelo de civilización vigente es lapidaria, pero de un furor contenido”. Gastón Soublette
