Fulgentius
by César AiraUna vuelta de tuerca a la novela de romanos protagonizada por un voluble general de la legión que cree haber revolucionado el teatro con la escritura de una tragedia autobiográfica. Fabius Exelsus Fulgentius sigue siendo, a sus sesenta y siete años, un general irremplazable para las campañas de expansión del Imperio romano. El breve descanso para el aprovisionamiento que ha hecho en Vindobona, junto a sus seis mil legionarios, se ha demorado un poco más de lo previsto: Fulgentius ha aprovechado para poner en pie, con la ayuda del coro local de actores, una tragedia autobiográfica que él mismo ha escrito y que es única en su género. Ésta será la primera parada de un largo viaje hacia la pacificación a golpe de lanza de la agreste Panonia, una campaña plagada de batallas e incursiones, pero también de ensayos interminables y castings a recios guerreros para el papel protagonista femenino. Y todo ello para que la gran obra de Fulgentius tome derroteros imprevistos para el único placer y beneficio de su autor. Fulgentius es una nueva incursión de César Aira en la novela histórica, ambientada esta vez en la época dorada del Imperio romano, a través de la mirada soberbia, voluble, megalómana y a la vez ingenua, de un general con aspiraciones creativas. César Aira hace acopio de una finísima ironía para reflexionar sobre la vanidad y la belleza artística en un mundo bárbaro y sin sentido. La crítica ha dicho...«César Aira es uno de los novelistas más provocativos e idiosincrásicos de la literatura en lengua española. No hay que perdérselo.»Natasha Wimmer, The New York Times «El modo en que Aira recoge el guante de las convenciones narrativas y las diluye en un cruce de ejes con la naturaleza entrópica de la vida es maravilloso.»Nadal Suau, El Cultural «Si Marcel Duchamp puso patas arriba la institución Arte, no es exagerado decir que cada nuevo libro de César Aira hace lo propio con la Literatura, a veces con herramientas afines: la parodia, la desviación y el azar.»Carlos Pardo, Babelia «Las historias de Aira parecen fragmentos de un infinito e interconectado universo en constante expansión.»Patti Smith «¿Qué podemos esperar de una obra de César Aira? Cualquier cosa: un artefacto ingenioso e impredecible, una miniatura narrativa que renueva, una y otra vez, la literatura. [César Aira es] uno de los narradores más asombrosos de la literatura actual.»Juan Pablo Villalobos «César Aira no es sólo uno de los más destacables escritores argentinos de la actualidad: es también uno de los autores más originales, más chocantes, más inteligentes y divertidos de la narrativa contemporánea en lengua española.»Ignacio Echeverría «Leer a César Aira es siempre una experiencia sorprendente, aunque debe advertirse que su ficción despliega un mundo tan reconocible como original.»Arturo García Ramos, ABC «César Aira es un escritor sorprendente cuyas obras, de rara genialidad, se transmiten como un secreto entre una secta de entusiastas cada vez más amplia.»Josep Massot, La Vanguardia
Full Bloom (Max Holt #5)
by Janet Evanovich Charlotte HughesThe temperature's on "sizzle" again in Beaumont, South Carolina, where peach trees are in season and ripe for the picking. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, a divorcee who inherited her grandmother's Queen Ann mansion (and its wacky handyman Erdle Thorney). According to a local psychic, she also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel - not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding! If rumors of x-rated ghosts aren't stressful enough, Max's new partner has arrived with an eye on Annie's master suite. On the inside Wes Bridges may be corporate, but on the outside he's leather and denim, sporting a two-day beard, straddling a Harley, and sending the B&B's testosterone level through the roof. Annie's cool demeanor may be dropping as fast as Wes's jeans, but leave it to her ex to dampen the passion! His body's been discovered buried on the grounds along with a stash of illicit love letters and a photograph of one of the town's most prominent married ladies. Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back to where she was - wrapped up in Wes's strong loving arms...

Fundamentally: A Novel
by Nussaibah YounisA wickedly funny and audacious debut novel following an academic who flees from heartbreak and lands in Iraq with a one-of-a-kind job offer—only to be forced to do the work of confronting herself.When Dr. Nadia Amin, a long-suffering academic, publishes an article on the possibility of rehabilitating ISIS brides, the United Nations comes calling, offering an opportunity to lead a deradicalization program for the ISIS-affiliated women held in Iraqi refugee camps. Looking for a way out of London after a painful, unexpected breakup, Nadia leaps at the chance.In Iraq, Nadia quickly realizes she&’s in over her head. Her direct reports are hostile and unenthused about taking orders from an obvious UN novice, and the murmurs of deradicalization being inherently unethical and possibly illegal threaten to end Nadia&’s UN career before it even begins.Frustrated by her situation and the unrelenting heat, Nadia decides to visit the camp with her sullen team, composed of Goody Two-shoes Sherri who never passes up an opportunity to remind Nadia of her objections; and Pierre, a snippy Frenchman who has no qualms about perpetually scrolling through Grindr.At the camp, Nadia meets Sara, one of the younger refugees, whose accent immediately gives her away as a fellow East Londoner. From their first interaction, Nadia feels inexplicably drawn to the rude girl in the diamanté headscarf. She leaves the camp determined to get Sara home.But the system Nadia finds herself trapped in is a quagmire of inaction and corruption. One accomplishment barely makes a dent in Nadia&’s ultimate goal of freeing Sara . . . and the other women, too, of course. And so, Nadia makes an impossible decision leading to ramifications she could have never imagined.A triumph of dark humor, Fundamentally asks bold questions: Who can tell someone what to believe? And how do you save someone who doesn&’t want to be saved?
