Par José Emilio Pacheco. 2020
"In the 1960s, when this novel appeared, there was a fierce debate within the Latin American literary movement between the…
avant-garde methods of the nouveau roman and the traditional style of realist narration (defended by members of the boom). Pacheco, in 1967, delivered to the press |You Will Die in a Distant Land|, which sought to reconcile both fronts with a narrative that draws from both sources. A labyrinth of voices and narrative levels serve, in seven sections, to retrace the Jewish diaspora from the time of the Roman invasion of Judea under the command of Titus to the Nazi extermination camps. In the midst of that temporal ocean also emerges a probable Nazi scientist hiding out in Mexico City, who senses that a siege is being laid around him." -- Translation provided by NLSAtardecer en el pueblo fantasma (Magic tree house series.

Par Carole Geneix. 2019
"In 1912, shortly before the Titanic's maiden voyage, a huge party is held in Paris, bringing together the most prominent…
members of high society: a splendid reception hosted by the renowned couturier Paul Poiret to present his line of perfumes inspired by One Thousand and One Nights. Among the evening's select guests were the capricious Russian countess Svetlana Slavskaya and her personal secretary Dimitri Ostrov, a young Jew who had fled from the Bolsheviks. A very valuable diamond necklace (a gift from an admirer) stands out among the finery worn by the aristocrat for the occasion. But, at one point during the evening, the jewel disappears from her neck and the body of its owner, probably strangled, is found lifeless... In this dazzling and attractive evocation of the Belle Époque, Carole Geneix offers us a work that dialogues with the great French masters of the mystery novel, casting a nostalgic glance on a period of European history that, very soon, the First World War would reduce to ashes." -- Translation provided by NLSZama

The long years of dictatorship in Nicaragua are dramatically recreated as cabaret singers, activists, policemen, prostitutes, beauty queens and would-be presidents haunt this sophisticated, lyrical and timeless epic of resistance and retribution." -- Goodreads
