En rørende roman om kærlighed, begær og sorg af en af litteraturhistoriens store forfattere, udgivet ti år efter hans død.Ana Magdalena Bach sidder i baren på sit hotel på en caribisk ø og nyder stemningen, musikken og den varme, sydlige aftenluft. Hvert år den 16. august rejser hun til den lille ø for at lægge blomster på sin mors grav og indvi hende i sine inderste tanker. Denne aften får hun øjenkontakt med en mand i baren, og en længe glemt lidenskab blusser op i hende. Hun er lykkeligt gift og har to børn med den eneste mand, hun nogensinde har elsket, men måske er det muligt at blive en anden, mere løssluppen udgave af sig selv, om det så bare er for en enkelt nat."Vi ses i august" er en fortættet fortælling om en kvindes begær og drømme, bekymringer og sorger, og om den længsel efter frihed og selvstændighed, som kun vokser sig større, hvis den ikke får lov at leve.

The poems in Santa Tarantula grant an urgent and haunting voice to the voiceless, explore ancient narratives, delve into Cuban history and identity, and confront trauma and violence.Jordan Pérez explores the tension between fear and reprieve, between hopelessness and light, in her debut collection, Santa Tarantula, the tenth winner of the Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize. Pérez lends voices to the forgotten: to the political dissidents, gay men, and religious minorities imprisoned in the forced-labor camps of 1960s Cuba; to biblical women who were deemed unworthy to name; to survivors of sexual violence who grapple with paralyzing fear and isolation.With rich detail, these poems weave together the stories of those who go unheard with family memories, explore moments of unspeakable tragedy with glimpses of a life beyond the trauma, and draw out what it means to be vulnerable and the strength it takes to endure. Santa Tarantula pushes through the darkness, cataloging unspoken pain and multigenerational damage, and revealing that, sometimes, survival is in the telling.

In The Creole Archipelago, Tessa Murphy traces how generations of Indigenous Kalinagos, free and enslaved Africans, and settlers from a variety of European nations used maritime routes to forge social, economic, and informal political connections that spanned the eastern Caribbean. Focusing on a chain of volcanic islands, each one visible from the next, whose societies developed outside the sphere of European rule until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, Murphy argues that the imperial frameworks typically used to analyze the early colonial Caribbean are at odds with the geographic realities that shaped daily life in the region.Through use of wide-ranging sources including historical maps, parish records, an Indigenous-language dictionary, and colonial correspondence housed in the Caribbean, France, England, and the United States, Murphy shows how this watery borderland became a center of broader imperial experimentation, contestation, and reform. British and French officials dispatched to Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Tobago after 1763 encountered a creolized society that repeatedly frustrated their attempts to transform the islands into productive plantation colonies. By centering the stories of Kalinagos who asserted continued claims to land, French Catholics who demanded the privileges of British subjects, and free people of African descent who insisted on their right to own land and enslaved people, Murphy offers a vivid counterpoint to larger Caribbean plantation societies like Jamaica and Barbados.By looking outward from the eastern Caribbean chain, The Creole Archipelago resituates small islands as microcosms of broader historical processes central to understanding early American and Atlantic history, including European usurpation of Indigenous lands, the rise of slavery and plantation production, and the creation and codification of racial difference.

Men i sidste ende gifter Xuela sig med den engelske læge, Philip Bailey.Xuelas verden er intenst sanselig med dufte af overmodne frugter, krystalviolet, svovl og regnvåde vejbaner, og den syder af Xuelas sorg over sin mor, frygt for sin far og en altomsluttende ensomhed. Og under alt andet løber den strøm, som Xuelas liv vugger på: moderløsheden og barnløsheden.Selvbiografien om min mor er en lyrisk fortælling om kærlighed og karakterdannelse og en meditation over livet og døden på øen Dominica.
