El Sueño Chino
by Ma JianEl Orwell de la literatura china nos brinda una sátira distópica de la China actual: una fábula poética e inquebrantable sobre el totalitarismo y la supresión de la Historia. «Los tiranos chinos nunca se han limitado a controlar la vida de la gente; siempre han perseguido penetrar en la mente de las personas y remodelarla desde dentro». La República Popular China ha logrado desarrollar una tecnología que permite registrar los sueños de sus ciudadanos y sustituirlos por otros. El objetivo es promover el Sueño Chino de rejuvenecimiento nacional del presidente Xi Jinping. Ma Daode, un corrupto y lujurioso funcionario, ha sido nombrado director del proyecto después de décadas de servicio leal al Partido. Pero justo cuando está a punto de presentar un innovador implante cerebral que reemplazará los recuerdos traumáticos con un sueño colectivo de supremacía nacional, su cordura comienza a desmoronarse. A su mente acuden dolorosos flashbacks: pesadillas de la Revolución Cultural que amenazarán con destruir su aspiración a un futuro glorioso. Esta fábula oscuramente cómica es una visión distópica de la represión, la supresión de la Historia y la amnesia impuesta por el Estado chino; una inquebrantable sátira ambientada en la China actual de la mano de quien, según el Financial Times, «no en vano ha sido llamado el Orwell y el Solzhenitsyn de la literatura china». La crítica ha dicho:«Una de las voces más importantes y valerosas de la literatura china.»Gao Xingjian, Premio Nobel de Literatura «Un cruce entre los Guardias Rojos y una especie de Kurt Vonnegut: ¡poderoso!... Una punzante sátira de un novelista en el exilio.»Margaret Atwood, vía Twitter «Una salvaje sátira del autoritarismo y la censura chinos… Ma es muy explícito y, para un hombre de conocido comportamiento tranquilo, un intérprete de China más enfurecido que sus compatriotas... Verosímil y brutal, este es su trabajo más audaz, y, a pesar de su brevedad, el más elegíaco.»Financial Times «Escandaloso[...] No en vano se le ha llamado el Orwell y el Solzhenitsyn de la literatura china.»Libro del año del Financial Times «El sueño chino es más aguda, en cuanto a alegoría política, que sus novelas anteriores. Crepita con una sátira contundente de la oficialidad china y un ingenio mordaz que recuerda vagamente el arrebato de Gary Shteyngart hacia los oligarcas rusos en Absurdistán, o incluso los retratos de Nikolai Gogol de los aristócratas provincianos de Rusia en Almas muertas… El sueño chino puede ser la destilación más pura hasta el momento del talento de Ma para sondear los rincones más ocursos del país y exponer lo que él llama las “fallas morales” del Partido Comunista.»Mike Ives, The New York Times «Una obra maestra de la sátira política.»Kirkus Review of Books «Espeluznantemente orwelliano... hace que la Revolución Cultural de Mao parezca un pequeño divertimento.»Mail on Sunday «Una acusación abrasadora y audaz de la China actual, y una exposición lírica de la falsa utopía creada por el Partido Comunista y su actual líder vitalicio, Xi Jinping... [El sueño chino] es una confrontación ingeniosa, pero poderosa, del pasado y el presente de China.»Publishers Weekly

Sufferance: A Novel
by Thomas KingJeremiah Camp, a.k.a. the Forecaster, can look into the heart of humanity and see the patterns that create opportunities and profits for the rich and powerful. Problem is, Camp has looked one too many times, has seen what he hadn’t expected to see and has come away from the abyss with no hope for himself or for the future. So Jeremiah does what any intelligent, sensitive person would do. He runs away. Goes into hiding in a small town, at an old residential school on an even smaller Indian reserve, with no phone, no Internet, no television. With the windows shut, the door locked, the mailbox removed to discourage any connection with the world, he feels safe at last. Except nobody told the locals that they were to leave Jeremiah alone. And then his past comes calling. Ash Locken, head of the Locken Group, the multinational consortium that Jeremiah has fled, arrives on his doorstep with a simple proposition. She wants our hero to formulate one more forecast, and she’s not about to take no for an answer. Before he left the Locken empire, Jeremiah had created a list of twelve names, every one a billionaire. The problem is, the people on the list are dying at an alarming and unnatural rate. And Ash Locken wants to know why. A sly and satirical look at the fractures in modern existence, Sufferance is a bold and provocative novel about the social and political consequences of the inequality created by privilege and power—and what we might do about it.
Suffering Sappho!: Lesbian Camp in American Popular Culture
by Barbara Jane BrickmanAn ever-expanding and panicked Wonder Woman lurches through a city skyline begging Steve to stop her. A twisted queen of sorority row crashes her convertible trying to escape her queer shame. A suave butch emcee introduces the sequined and feathered stars of the era’s most celebrated drag revue. For an unsettled and retrenching postwar America, these startling figures betrayed the failure of promised consensus and appeasing conformity. They could also be cruel, painful, and disciplinary jokes. It turns out that an obsession with managing gender and female sexuality after the war would hardly contain them. On the contrary, it spread their campy manifestations throughout mainstream culture. Offering the first major consideration of lesbian camp in American popular culture, Suffering Sappho! traces a larger-than-life lesbian menace across midcentury media forms to propose five prototypical queer icons—the sicko, the monster, the spinster, the Amazon, and the rebel. On the pages of comics and sensational pulp fiction and the dramas of television and drive-in movies, Barbara Jane Brickman discovers evidence not just of campy sexual deviants but of troubling female performers, whose failures could be epic but whose subversive potential could inspire. Supplemental images of interest related to this title: George and Lomas; Connie Minerva; Cat On Hot Tin; and Beulah and Oriole.
