En septiembre de 1933 desembarca en el puerto de Buenos Aires un cargamento con diecinueve indios oriundos de la Amazonia peruana. Es una entrega de la Peruvian Rubber Company para Amado Dam, miembro del selecto comité encargado de la creación del primer Parque Etnográfico del país, un sitio destinado a exhibir ejemplares de las distintas razas humanas para deleite del público visitante. Pero las cosas no salen según lo planificado y, por falta de documentación, los indios terminan ilegalmente recluidos en la casa de Dam, quien descubrirá que esconden un secreto tan fascinante como temerario: un artefacto de madera que contiene un perezoso en estado de hibernación. ¿Cómo este descubrimiento se convierte con el tiempo en un secreto de Estado bajo la dirección de la Comisión de Telepatía Nacional?Roque Larraquy, una de las voces más originales de la narrativa argentina contemporánea, construye una novela hilarante y despiadadamente crítica en su dimensión política, en la que trabaja con el imaginario y los anhelos más secretos de una clase social que solo quiere perpetuarse en el poder.In September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to a Buenos Aires businessman. Unexpected among the human cargo is a box, harboring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret: the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. What ensues is a raucous satire of men's fear of women's bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of so-called civilization, and the way class and race obscure identities when the observer is a man with power. In The National Telepathy, Roque Larraquy, one of the most original voices in contemporary Argentine literature, brings us a literary highwire act, an over-the-top comic grotesque about atrocity. This shocking, bizarre, funny, imaginative novel lays all-too-bare the secret longings and not-so-secret machinations of a social class that will stop at nothing in order to stay on top.

Explorers, Dreamers and Thieves is an adventure through memory and archives.This book is an exercise in invention that emerges from the complex history of encounter between Europe and the Americas. Following the success of Untold Microcosms - which saw ten Latin American authors write stories inspired by objects from their countries held by the British Museum - the curatorial team at the Museum and at Hay Festival have joined forces again, this time with a slightly different proposal.Six writers - Selva Almada, Rita Indiana, Josefa Sánchez, Philippe Sands, Juan Gabriel Vásquez andGabriela Weiner - were invited to examine a series of ethnographic documents: a profusion of diaries, letters, drawings, thoughts and transactions, all referring to the acquisition of works for the collection. Using this material as a starting point, they were asked to imagine narratives about the people involved in bringing those pieces to the museum. The journey through these texts is not unlike the one that, in years past, was undertaken by the explorers, dreamers and thieves who serve as an inspiration for this book.

Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena KnowsFifteen years after killing her husband's lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and they've started a business - FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies - dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women. But Señora Bonar, one of their clients, wants Inés to do more than kill bugs - she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husband's lover, too. Crimes against women versus crimes by women; culpability, fallibility, and our responsibilities to each other--this is Piñeiro at her wry, earthy best, alive to all the ways we shape ourselves to be understandable, to be understood, by family and love and other hostile forces.

"This is a ghost story. A junkie has gone to El Zapotal to die - to rent a room in this crumbling backwater, melt into one last fix, and not come back. For someone so ready to no longer be alive, though, he can't stop clinging to the past. His old dog, Kid, who he abandoned. His love, Valerie, who he introduced to drugs. There's no such thing as a good memory. El Zapotal doesn't want him either. The people aren't welcoming, the streets are empty except for strays, and he's having trouble pacing his supply. As the drugs run out, the line between what's real and what's not blurs to the point of illegibility, and we're left wandering a tenderly described hinterland of despair, hunger, and regret."--

An epistolary, fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black community of Colombia's Pacific coast.After a long absence, Vel has come home to Chocó - to the Afro-Colombian community, to her family, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where she's establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.
