        Thirteen culichis writings / Trece escritos culichis

        by Ronaldo González Valdés

        This collection of thirteen writings is an analytical journey of one of the most relevant cities in northern Mexico. It would not be inaccurate to say that Ronaldo is a contemporary Virgil, but the itinerary he proposes is not only a descent into the proverbial hell. He guides us through the lateral findings of his home studio in the midst of the pandemic, to some corner of cherished historical value while the bullets of military operatives whiz by, along with the gaze of his students stunned by terrible and false news, between the literary genealogy that imagined the city throughout the 20th century, to the tenderness of feeding stray cats while reading George Steiner and listening to corridos outside in the street.A professor, researcher and columnist who wrote early versions of this book in Nexos magazine, Ronaldo joins the acute interpretation of Mexican reality by Carlos Monsivaís, Roger Bartra and Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo, among others, with his essay on Sinaloa, a lt;>. The essays that Ronaldo dedicates to the two evets know as >, are of utmost importance to the radical resignation they've triggered. Between chronicle, journal entries and academic analysis, Ronaldo builds a personal view of different narrative genres all converging to dismantle the erratic readings that the violence in the streets on October 17, 2019, and then on January 5, 2023, provked. Also known as > due to the coincidence of that day of the week, these episodes generated a state of siege that left deep emotional scars on the population. Oswaldo Zavala   Sinopsis    Esta colección de trece “escritos culichis” es un viaje iniciático a una de las ciudades más relevantes del norte de Mexico. No sería impreciso decir que Ronaldo es un Virgilio contemporáneo, pero el itinerario que propone no es solamente un descenso hacia el proverbial infierno. Nos guía por los hallazgos laterales del estudio de su casa en medio de la pandemia, hacia alguna esquina de apreciado valor histórico mientras zumban las balas de los operativos militares, junto a la mirada de sus alumnos atónitos ante terribles y falsas noticias, entre la genealogía literaria que imaginó la urbe a lo largo del siglo XX, hasta la ternura de alimentar gatos callejeros mientras se lee a George Steiner y se escuchan corridos.Profesor, investigador y articulista que ensayó primeras versiones de este libro en la revista nexos, Ronaldo se suma a la aguda interpretación de la realidad mexicana de Carlos Monsiváis, Roger Bartra y Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo, entre otros, con su examen de Sinaloa como una “sociedad demediada”.Son centrales los ensayos que Ronaldo dedica a los dos “Culiacanazos”, detonadores radicales de re-signaciones. Entre la crónica, la entrada de diario y el análisis académico, Ronaldo construye una mirada personal de géneros narrativos en convergencia para desmontar las lecturas erráticas que suscitó la violencia en las calles el 17 de octubre de 2019 y luego el 5 de enero de 2023. También llamados los “jueves negros” por la coincidencia de ese día de la semana, estos episodios generaron un estado de sitio que dejó hondas secuelas emocionales en la población. Oswaldo Zavala

        Caja continua de voces

        by Pablo Martín Ruiz

        Essays, travel journals, reflections, epigrams, visual poetry, lists, notes, paradoxes, compilations, critiques, stories, outlines, translations, palindromes, these are all the bricks with which, in the manner of a certain Chinese encyclopedia, a sort of epistemology of restriction and of the unusual is built. A necklace where no two pearls are alike: the bet, of course, is centered on the thread that ties them together. It gives the impression that the author, owner of a playful, penetrative gaze, is concerned with the poetic dimension of the pure forms of language and that absolutely nothing is alien to him.The result is an absolutely singual, stimulating, and highly entertaining book, which makes us gratefully abandon the place of our comfortable ideas.

        The Calling

        Stories of Jesuits in the 16th and 17th Centuries

        by Adriano Prosperi

        This book explains not who the Jesuits were, but how their awareness of having become Jesuits was constructed. It does so on the basis of a collection of documents which have often been referred to as ‘autobiographies’, in fact individual members’ accounts of how they received their calling. Each Jesuit had to describe in writing how the divine call had come to him, what signs had preceded it and how he had broken away from his ‘fleshly’ family to become a member of the Company. Their acute awareness of the definitive nature of the close pact they had established with God by becoming members of the army of the Lord, made the Jesuits new, unusual figures, unprecedented in the history of Christian religious orders: men trained to carry out arduous missions into the most distant countries of the world, in contact with unknown cultures, without any weakening of their ties with the Company; a classic case is Matteo Ricci. Accepting their calling meant adopting a special life, characterized by a modern form of asceticism: a total break with the past and their families, a readiness to go wherever they were sent, as new apostles.

        by Dariel Suarez

        HAPPILY MARRIED, BACKED BY A POWERFUL MENTOR, and with career prospects that would take him abroad, Serguey has more than any young Cuban lawyer could ask for.

A return to his childhood home in Havana’s decaying suburbs—reconnects Serguey with his troubled past. He learns of an elusive dramaturge’s link to Felipe, a man who could be key to his father’s release. With the help of a social media activist and his wife’s ties with the Catholic Church, Serguey sets out to unlock the mystery of Felipe’s arrest and, in the process, is forced to confront the reasons for the hostility between him and Victor.
