Faty Salinas · 2023
"(sobre) Viviendo con un corazón roto es la voz de esas personas que se han quedado sin fuerza, que por más que piden ayuda no logran ser escuchadas. Es lo que hay detrás de un "estoy bien" hasta un "estoy triste". Eres tú, soy yo y son todas las almas quebradas que ha dejado una baja autoestima, la depresión, la ansiedad y la soledad. Aquí están las batallas de los que intentamos (sobre)vivir con un corazón roto." -- page 4 of cover.

GIRL MESS: a Katabasis in verse
Kim Rashidi · 2024
Dante's Inferno, but for the girls.<br/>I open my mouth, swallow myself whole / I am inside the beast, the machine of a girl<br/>A ritualized traverse into the underworld, GIRL MESS is a way back into the body. The feeling, pulsing, tragicomic body. This atmospheric story, guided by a whimsical psychopomp, follows a girl’s peculiarities as she navigates uncanny rooms with strange creatures and even stranger memories. Loosely following the stages of spiritual alchemy from calcination to coagulation, the girl evolves past the nightmares of ageing and comes to understand what it means to live a wondrous life.<br/><br/>***<br/>GIRL MESS is a cabinet of curiosities, a kaleidoscopic experience, and a decadent feat of imagination. Conceptually playing with the notorious demonization of girls' interests, this novel in verse is a lyrical exploration of the human condition through the trials and trepidations of girlhood. Poetically bold and idiomatically subversive, the pages of this book journey into a celestial realm of introspection to form a connection with the psyche. Pulling on occult threads and alchemical traditions, these poems take inspiration from Rashidi’s dreams and mediations and are aided by Jungian analysis.

Amor y pan notas sobre el hambre
Paula Melchor · 2022
"Construimos el ritual de la comida casi sin esfuerzo ni consciencia, como todas las cosas que importan en la vida. Damos por hecho las presencias, la vajilla y las sillas repletas. Amor y pan comienza un poco antes de que una ausencia se materialice, justo cuando el silencio incómodo cae por encima de los manteles blancos y lo mancha todo y, como si fuese gasolina, te hace poder oler el incendio, poder ver el fuego antes de que ocurra"--Page 4 of cover.

No ficción
Alberto Fuguet · 2025
<p> <b>¿Qué es eso que se siente más profundo que la amistad?</b> </p> <p>Álex ronda los cuarenta y ha dirigido películas y escrito novelas, pero nunca una novela sobre sus emociones. Quizás algo testimonial, de no ficción. Ahora entiende que tal vez debe escribir sobre su relación con Renzo, para entender qué los unió y qué los separó y, para ello, unos años después, una tarde de verano, lo visita en su pequeño departamento en el centro de Santiago. Esa tarde larga y calurosa se transformará en una noche oscura donde los diálogos a veces esconden y otras se transforman en dardos para intentar descifrar qué es eso que se siente más profundo que la amistad pero que rechaza los límites del amor.</p>

HANAKOTOBA. EL LENGUAJE DE LAS FLORES
Alex Pler · 2019
Pequeño diccionario japonés para las cosas sin nombre. El japonés tiene fama de ser un idioma ambiguo, y puede que sea cierto, pero también llega a ser muy preciso. Con este libro no pretendo recopilar palabras que se refieran a costumbres propias de la cultura japonesa y que, como son intraducibles, todos hemos adoptado (kimono, sushi, bonsái, geisha...), sino recoger palabras únicas que nos ilustran emociones, objetos y sucesos que todos hemos experimentado pero que hasta ahora no sabíamos cómo llamarlos. Quizás si conociéramos todos los idiomas, nos conoceríamos mejor a nosotros mismos y al mundo que nos rodea. Una obra ilustrada con excelentes fotografías del Japón actual.
