You Exist Too Much: A Novel

Lilianas Invincible Summer
Cristina Rivera Garza · 2023
An astonishing work of creative non-fiction from one one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers, that reignites the brilliant spark of a young woman erased and illuminates an epidemic of femicide in Mexico<br/><br/>On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza's sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of femicide. She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her. She would leave him behind. She would start a new life. She would do a master's degree and a doctorate; she would travel to London. But his decision was that she would not have a life without him.<br/><br/>Returning to Mexico after decades of living in the United States, Cristina Rivera Garza collects and curates evidence - handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, voice recordings and architectural blueprints - to defy a pattern of increasingly normalised, gendered violence and understand the life lost. What she finds is Liliana: her sister's voice crossing time and, like that of so many disappeared and outraged women in Mexico, demanding justice.<br/><br/>A multi-layered portrait of Liliana's experience on earth, Liliana's Invincible Summer is an excavation of the life of a brilliant woman who lacked, like everyone else, the necessary language to identify, denounce and fight against sexist violence and intimate partner terrorism. Marshalling the skills of scholar, translator, novelist and poet, Rivera Garza presents an astonishing work of creative non-fiction that celebrates her sister's passage through the earth, and reveals the incalculable problem of violence against women.

Piranesi
Susanna Clarke · 2020
New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction World Fantasy Awards Finalist From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic new novel set in a dreamlike alternative reality. Piranesi's house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house. There is one other person in the house-a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known. For readers of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds.

El vampiro de la colonia Roma
Luis Zapata · 2024
Odiada, desaconsejada por Juan Rulfo, causa de escándalo e incluso censura en su momento de publicación,en 1979, El vampiro de la colonia Roma es hoy una novela de culto que narra las peripecias de Adonis García, un chichifo(prostituto)gay en la Ciudad de México de los 70.<br/>Adonis toma drogas, bebe, contrae la gonorrea, espía a hombres en los baños públicos y burla a la policía, dibujando una geografía de la clandestinidad a la que estaban confinadas las disidencias sexuales de la época: tugurios, cines, saunas, mundo de jotos orgullosos, mayates pendencieros y cuinas que se niegan a salir del armario.<br/>Este libro consagró a Luis Zapata, rompiendo, tanto en forma como en contenido, con la literatura dominante. Muchos escritores de la época atacaron el libro sin haberlo leído, y se llegó incluso a recomendar que se vendiera en bolsas de plástico para evitar que la gente hojeara lo que era considerado un texto pornográfico.<br/>Hoy El vampiro de la colonia Roma es considerada una obra clásica de la literatura gay.<br/>La crítica ha dicho...<br/>«Para la clase media castradora, El vampiro de la colonia Roma de Luis Zapata era kriptonita pura, pues le ponía delante de los ojos un submundo que tenía muy cerca, pero intentaba negar a toda costa».<br/>Enrique Serna

Esta cuerpa mía
Uri Bleier · 2024
«En el momento de la siesta de Dios, las putas somos la luz de la vela.» Con el nombre de Leonardo a cuestas y una estética andrógina, la protagonista llega a Tijuana, estafada por un grupo de tratantes. Bautizada como Mónica y cobijada por Rosy, una especie de madre adoptiva, se siente plena y aprende los trucos del que será su mundo: un lugar lleno de traiciones, felicidad, euforia y adicciones. Un par de años después, Mónica pasará de la seguridad de los hoteles y posadas a la hostilidad de la calle y de la Jungla, el lugar más sórdido y desconocido de Tijuana. Con la cuerpa reseca y la voz de su madre en mente, consigue lamerse las heridas y volver a casa. El regreso será un viacrucis y la llegada una bendición. También, será el verdadero inicio. Esta cuerpa mía es una novela honesta y desparpajada, llena de humor y de música, de amor y sororidad, pero con espacio para el dolor y el odio. Está llena de drogas, peligro e hipocresías; de inyecciones de aceite, lentejuelas y tacones altos; de sexo en las esquinas, hoteles y espacios virtuales. Uri Bleier escribe una novela que huele a calle, sabe a playa y suena a cumbia; una historia que su personaje monta a galope con toda su fiereza y ternura. «Uri Bleier investiga, escucha, cucharea y rebaña cada voz, cada personaje, cada escena. Puro venenito dulce y amargo .» - Sabina Urraca

El Lado Izquierdo Del Sol
Cristian Lagunas · 2023
<p> <b>«Un libro con una prosa cautivante, de ritmo hipnótico. El lado izquierdo del sol es una novela paciente, contemplativa, hermosa, cuyo lenguaje logra un retrato certero y fiel, a la vez que una ficción deslumbrante.» </b> </p> <p> <b>Fernanda Melchor, Alaíde Ventura, y Emiliano Monge, Jurados del Premio Mauricio Achar / Random House 2022,</b> </p> <p>Esta novela explora la compleja figura de Yukio Mishima, uno de los autores más fascinantes de la literatura japonesa. En 1957, a los treinta y dos años, Mishima hace un viaje a Nueva York y México para arrojarse al universo del turismo homosexual, pero también para aniquilar su pasado, el tiempo en el que escribió su primera novela y tuvo otro nombre: Hiraoka Kimitake.</p> <p>El lado izquierdo del sol ilumina de igual forma ese pasado. Ahí se encuentran los instantes que van a determinar la existencia y el oficio de su protagonista. En las calles de Tokio, el joven Kimitake perfila sus ambicionesa la par que descubre el deseo. Su relación con Sito, un hibakusha, lo atormentará durante una década, hasta el presente del viaje.</p> <p>Desde la clave de la novela de formación, Cristian Lagunas recrea la biografía privada de un personaje adicto a la belleza, obsesionado con destruirse y volverse a crear.</p>

Resistencias queer
Luis Ruiz · 2023
"Frente a quienes insisten en ver a las personas LGBTQ como un peligro, nuestra rebeldía es ser felices, libres y ruidosxs. Hay muchos libros sobre salir del clóset. Este no es uno de ellos. Preferimos, en cambio, preguntarnos cómo podemos construir una sociedad en la que los clósets no existan. Hay que dejar de pensar lo heterosexual y lo cisgénero como lo normal, leer el mundo con ojos distintos, reconociendo que hay una infinidad de maneras de amar, desear, relacionarnos, ser y expresarnos y que todas son válidas. En estas páginas encontrarás una colección de textos originales sobre temas que a las personas LGBTQ nos importan, conceptos clave para entender las discusiones sobre diversidad sexual y de género, historias de las personas rebeldes que lucharon antes que nosotrxs, mucho chismecito queer y herramientas valiosas ¡y divertidas! para formar comunidad, cuidarnos a nosotrxs mismxs y a las personas con quienes compartimos lucha. Los autores para las poblaciones LGBTQ, no es una opción, sino la única forma viable para existir en un mundo que se niega a escuchar nuestras voces. Luis y Andrea, de Abrazo Grupal."--Del editor.

Bellas para morir
Esther Pineda · 2023
<p>Durante siglos la belleza ha sido impuesta a las mujeres como un requisito imprescindible para demostrar su feminidad; pero fue en la sociedad contemporánea cuando estos ideales se masificaron a través del sistemático bombardeo de las imágenes inalcanzables de actrices, modelos y cantantes. En la actualidad, la belleza se organiza en torno a criterios sexistas, racistas, gerontofóbicos y gordofóbicos y se les exige a las mujeres responder a uno de los cánones de belleza imperantes: la pin-up de grandes proporciones o la modelo/miss de apariencia anoréxica. Quienes no responden a estos estereotipos son víctimas de discriminación, exclusión y violencia, presión social que lleva a las mujeres a someterse a modificaciones estéticas innecesarias, invasivas y riesgosas mediante los productos y servicios ofrecidos por las multimillonarias industrias cosméticas, farmacológicas y quirúrgicas, que lucran con su sufrimiento y que contribuyen.<br></p>
