Ten
by Juan EmarAn astonishing collection of short stories by one of the most daring prose experimentalists of the 20th century A taxidermied parrot, insulted by a stodgy uncle, comes violently alive and batters the poor fool to death with its beak. A terrible tyrant, Zar Palemón, presides over grotesque ritualized sex acts in his court—which is itself contained in a demonic gemstone the size of a fist. And deep in the Andes, in a hidden cave, an unremarkable house cat waits to trap its hapless victim with a Gorgon’s gaze and engage him in a staring contest on which the fate of the cosmos just might depend. Such are a few of the bizarre adventures found within Juan Emar’s mind-bending collection of short stories, Ten. Allegory? Parody? Horror? Surrealism? Yes to all, and none of the above: where lesser writers mark their end-point, the unclassifiable Juan Emar jumps off, straight into the deep end. Life is far from still in Emar’s world, where statues come alive, gaseous vampires stalk, and our hopes and fears materialize in a web of shocking interconnections unified by twisted logic and crystalline prose. Now, Ten is available in English for the first time, deftly translated by Megan McDowell and with an introduction by César Aira, who writes: “Emar has neither precedents nor equals; his echoes and affinities—Lautréamont, Macedonio Fernández, Gombrowicz—flow from his readers’ own inclinations.” Byzantine and vivid, intricate and bizarre, this quiver of shorts by Chile’s most idiosyncratic mad genius of literature will leave readers astounded for decades to come.

As her neighbour Gilbert Markham comes to realize, Helen has painful secrets from her past that make her the object of gossip and jealousy.

The Tender Mercy of Roses: A Novel
by Anna MichaelsAlice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones meets Sarah Addison’s Garden Spells in this striking southern debut featuring the ghost of a murdered cowgirl who guides her grief-stricken father and a disgraced former detective to her killer—and a long-hidden family secret. When disgraced police detective Jo Beth Dawson comes to town, she wants only to watch the rodeo and crawl into a bottle, not necessarily in that order. But when she stumbles upon the body of young rodeo star Pony Jones, Jo Beth feels an otherworldly connection with the dead woman—and an irresistible compulsion to find her killer. Pony herself, invisible to the eye but not to the sixth sense, guides her grief-stricken father, Titus, to Jo Beth’s side. Jo Beth and Titus are unlikely partners—two wary, broken people who are quick to judge and slow to trust—and their pursuit of Pony’s murderer unleashes a whirlwind of intense emotion and unexpected encounters. With every clue they uncover, dark family secrets are revealed, secrets that will tie the three of them closer than they could imagine. Featuring psychologically complex characters and a richly layered examination of family, grief, and redemption, The Tender Mercy of Roses is an immensely satisfying read.

El tercer testamento
by Christopher Galt¿Y si tu futuro ya ha sucedido y todos tus recuerdos son mentira...? Un extraño acontecimiento se reproduce en todo el mundo: la gente ha empezado a tener visiones que los llevan a situaciones del pasado o el futuro, que los aterrorizan y conmueven. Hasta pueden experimentar físicamente aquello que creen que están viviendo. Nadie entiende lo que sucede. Nadie está a salvo. En un mundo en que la ciencia se ha constituido como garante del conocimiento y la razón no deja lugar a explicaciones que parecerían esotéricas, estos acontecimientos inexplicables no tienen cabida. Y sin embargo, sí que están sucediendo. Lo que parece una epidemia de alucinaciones se extiende por todo el globo y no respeta fronteras, razas, edad, sexo o condición de cordura. Ni siquiera existe un común denominador que permita tirar del hilo para descubrir cuál es la enfermedad que las causa, si la hubiera.¿Será posible que la historia haya encontrado la manera de repetirse incesablemente? ¿Tendrá todo esto que ver con el proyecto de neurociencia en el que participa John Macbeth y que busca crear una inteligencia artificial autónoma? De Estados Unidos a Dinamarca, de China a Alemania, el mundo se ha vuelto loco y Macbeth parece el único capaz de llegar a averiguar qué está sucediendo.
