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 publisherSangre de Emanuel
Par Ted Dekker. 2011
"This story is for everyone--but not everyone is for this story. It is a dangerous tale of times past. A…
love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice. Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover. With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow. Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter. But remember, not everyone is for this story." -- GoodreadsTercer 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 NLSEl próximo año en la Habana

Years later, Jan has become a world-renowned writer with widespread influence in the United States, his past buried deep in his memory. Until, at the most inopportune time, the game Jan witnessed comes back to haunt him . . . and unwittingly leads him to a beautiful broken woman caught in an underworld of crime.

Par José Ignacio Valenzuela. 2022
"Angela has decided to listen to her heart. She has decided to stay in Almahue to love Fabian without fear,…
without the curse of Malamor on her shoulders. Fabian will no longer have to resort to those concoctions that only momentarily relieved the terrible pains that the spell (now just a bad memory) provoked in the lovers. A miraculous recovery of the tree, that tree that every day dried up a little more, seems to announce that Almahue will finally be able to continue his story in peace and tranquility. However, a mysterious stranger appears in the picture and there is something about her that is tremendously disturbing. Perhaps the time has come for Rayen to take revenge. She is eager to take action.... Will she be able to destroy Almahue to keep the promise she made many, many years ago in front of the church where Ernesto betrayed his promise to love her until the end of time? Will she also end the love story between Angela and Fabian?" -- Translation provided by NLSEl árbol de la vida (Trilogía del Malamor #03)
Par José Ignacio Valenzuela. 2022
"The third book of the Malamor Trilogy concludes the stories of Angela, Rayen and the peculiar village of Almahue and…
its hapless inhabitants, condemned to suffer from the curse of Malamor. With the village destroyed by a devastating earthquake and Fabián at the bottom of the earth, Ángela will go underground because she has decided that, although her life will be spent trying to rescue her lover from the bottom of the earth, she will never again allow disgrace or misfortune to separate them. Perhaps times have changed and that tree in the center of Almahue's square, a symbol of bad love, now lies as a corpse of branches and roots as dry as the sands of a desert. That can only herald a transformation, the end of an era. The time has also come for explanations, and Rosa will reveal something of that past that she jealously guards: a new legend. And Angela will have to find the strength to confront Rayén and the Decapitator in a journey through time and Chilean geography." -- Translation provided by NLSHacia el fin del mundo (Trilogía del Malamor #01)

"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

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 NLS
