Peregrinas (Colección Andanzas #985)
Par Joaquín Berges. 2021
"Pilgrims tells the story of the journey starring Dorita, Fina and Carmen, three octogenarian women in a nursing home who…
take advantage of the easing of the COVID lockdown to escape with the excuse of making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In reality, Dorita has unfinished business in Tarragona, and has convinced Carmen, who has a driver's license, and Fina, owner of an old Volvo 850 inherited from her husband, to accompany her. Fina, who suffers from the onset of Alzheimer's, is gradually convinced that everything they see leads them to Santiago." -- Translation provided by NLSSi le haces una fiesta a una cerdita: If You Give A Pig A Party (spanish Edition) (If You Give...

Par Laura Joffe Numeroff. 2005
Si le haces una fiesta a una cerdita, te pedirá unos cuantos globos. Cuando le des los globos, querrá decorar…
la casa. Tan pronto termine, se pondrá su vestido favorito. Luego llamará a sus amigos: Ratón, Alce y muchos más para invitarlos a la fiesta. Para niños preescolares hasta segundo grado. Sin calificaciónSudor
Par Alberto Fuguet. 2016
"Wildly piercing and corrosively funny, Sudor (Sweat) is an editor's raw look at the absurd and oftentimes dysfunctional inner workings…
of the literary world. When his run-of-the-mill existence is suddenly turned upside down by the arrival of a famous author and his spoiled, defiant son, Alf, a junior editor at a large publishing house, embarks on a whirlwind three days that will change his life forever. Taking a page from Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, Sweat is a piercing look at the mad circus that are author book tours-lavish parties, larger-than-life expectations, explosive egos and a whole industry that subsists on catering to the intellectual elite. The author of Bad Vibes, a novel that pulverized every boundary of the post-Pinochet era, plunges readers head first into the gay underworld where feelings are relegated to a second tier in favor of a series of ephemeral and extreme sexual encounters courtesy of Grindr, the popular app that Alf, the novel's protagonist, uses just as often as his authors use him. Meanwhile Santiago, the city where it all unfolds, emerges as a rare and alluring presence. A masterfully crafted and electrifying novel, Sudor confirms Fuguet as one of the most relevant voices in Latin America today." -- Provided by the publisherTercer mundo
Par Pedro Cabiya. 2019
"Orishas, saints, luases, demons and angels frolic in a fantastic Puerto Rico that only the fertile imagination of Pedro Cabiya…
could have conceived. Different ministries of the multiverse's administrative bureaucracy compete to recover the valuable extraterrestrial contraband abandoned in Santurce, capital of the Borikwa Republic.... But stealing the loot won't be as easy as they think. Political satire and cosmic parody combine in a web of espionage and action where the great questions of existence share space with the most profane humor, producing a novel that resists classification within the known genres, announcing a new one. Prequel to his immensely popular novel |Trance|, |Third World| promises, like its predecessor, a reading that is impossible to interrupt." -- Translation provided by NLSDragón y sus labores (Dragon. Spanish)
Par Dav Pilkey. 2021

Par Ana García Bergua. 2013
"In this fun and joyous novel Ana García Bergua humorously evokes Mexico City in the 1960s: a daring and naive…
city, where poets work in brand-new advertising agencies and painters no longer want to paint murals and wives no longer want to be obedient, and where the creative energy is such that even a relative of Mr. President aspires to create a film masterpiece, with the scintillating presence of the Costa Rican leading lady known as 'La Bomba de San José'." -- Translation provided by NLSLos invisibles (Letras mexicanas)
Par Homero Aridjis. 2011
"A series of events causes the Parisian photographer Nicolas Antschel to become the invisible man and, as a consequence, to…
be threatened and persecuted by groups anxious to steal his secret. To save himself and discover the source of his invisibility, Nicolas will be forced to follow a path of ambiguous clues that will lead him to self-understanding. With this novel, written in a mystical and esoteric key, halfway between science fiction and thriller, with black humor and a renewed picaresque, Homero Aridjis makes the invisible visible: the little things, the big questions, the places we are used to, the signs, the words, the messages erased by time." -- Translation provided by NLSPoeta chileno

Par José María Guelbenzu. 2016
"Hermógenes Arbusto, tax adviser and successful businessman, sees death enter his office one day, and, reacting quickly, manages to dodge…
the blow of the scythe, rushes to the door, leaves in a hurry, and locks and deadbolts it behind him, leaving the reaper locked inside. Shortly after, and while he is getting his wits about him in Madrid's Plaza Mayor, he reaches a Faustian pact with the devil, the distinguished Forcas (with permission to travel to Earth), to whom he sells his soul in order to be free, at least temporarily, from meeting the Cold Lady again. Meanwhile, Tomás Beovide, poet and Literature teacher at the Juan García Hortelano Secondary School, corrects exams, laments the abandonment of his girlfriend, grieves happily over his unhappy love encounter with Maribel Arbusto and consoles himself by listening with joy to the long-suffering love songs of his admired Julie London. And we don't go on counting because everything that follows is pure nonsense, a narrative implausibility where a wild and stubborn nonsense builds its own logic until it blows any reasonable expectation or argument out of the water." -- Translation provided by NLSStranger Kids 2 - 24 horas sin wifi (Stranger Kids #Volumen 2)
