33 Minutes
by Todd Hasak-Lowy Bethany BartonThis school-based boy friendship story is "funny, fast-paced, and quite poignant" (R. J. Palacio, author of Wonder).Sam Lewis is going to get his butt kicked in exactly thirty-three minutes.

And once the clock ticks down, will Morgan actually act on his threat? Told with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and achingly real emotional truth, 33 Minutes shows how even the best of friendships can change forever.
33 revoluciones
by Canek Sánchez GuevaraEl nieto rebelde del Che es una revolución literaria. Una selección de relatos memorables, entre el absurdo, el humor y la emoción, completan este volumen, poderoso testimonio y retrato implacable de la vida en Cuba: uno de los tesoros mejor guardados de la literatura latinoamericana. 33 revoluciones es la brillante obra póstuma de Canek Sánchez Guevara. Como si de un vinilo de 33 canciones se tratara, esta novela cuenta el día a día de un hastiado burócrata en una isla caribeña donde hay una constante verbalización: todos sus habitantes dicen lo mismo con distintas palabras; doce millones de discos rayados que se repiten una y otra vez. En el país nada funciona y a nadie parece importarle, pero el inconformismo del protagonista le hace distanciarse de los que le rodean y buscar una salida de esa isla asfixiante. Reseñas:«En su corta e intensa vida creó una obra casi secreta que ahora, con la publicación postuma de su deslumbrante novela 33 revoluciones escapa del olvido.»Jan Martínez Ahrens, El País «Canek Sánchez Guevara fue un escritor brillante y apasionado que murió demasiado joven. Esta imborrable novela póstuma es un rechazo visceral al patrimonio político que le tocó por ser el nieto del Che, y también un grito de socorro personal.»Jon Lee Anderson, autor de Che Guevara. Una vida revolucionaria «Desde Reinaldo Arenas no llegaba desde Cuba una voz literaria con tanta dolorosa locura y sentido de desesperación.»Nathaniel Popkin, Cleaver Magazine «Navegando sobre su individualidad, Canek Sánchez Guevara escribió textos únicos y auténticos. Bajo las faldas de ese mundo ideal que nos habían obligado a dibujar, diáfano y brillante este otro "hombre nuevo" reconstruyó su propia suerte, avanzó entre la tropa de frikis hacia el reencuentro de la autoficción, narrando con un lenguaje transparente y cubano, descarnado y sensible, la compleja distancia entre el querer y el poder. Pioneros por o sin el comunismo, leamos a Canek.»Wendy Guerra «33 revoluciones es la banda musical del fracaso de la utopía. Los acordes gastados que se repiten una y otra vez y que el nieto del polémico guerrillero recoge con acierto en su libro.»Reinaldo Escobar, 14 y medio, La Habana «Canek Sánchez Guevara dejó detrás de sí una novela única que se lee como un diario desesperado e hipnótico de una vida sin horizontes... Lamento melodioso que esboza la posibilidad de una nueva odisea, no menos peligrosa que los caminos ya recorridos.»Arianne Singer, Le Monde des Livres «Un diamante "noir".»Le Figaro «Una lectura obligatoria.»Le Sud-Ouest «Si queremos conocer bien la Cuba del siglo XX y de hoy, hay que leer 33 revoluciones de Canek Sánchez Guevara... Novela verdadera. Novela breve. Novela rápida. Menos de dos horas de lectura. Menos que un match de boxeo. Más fuerte que el combate del siglo... El corazón del autor se fue de México en enero de 2015, pero seguirá latiendo mientras ritmemos nuestras vidas con sus 33 golpes: en el corazón y en la cabeza.»La Cause Littéraire «Un libro lleno de pena y de furia.»La Repubblica
33 Revolutions
by Howard Curtis Canek Sánchez GuevaraThe hero of this mordant portrayal of life in contemporary Cuba is a black Cuban whose parents were enthusiastic supporters of the Castro Revolution. His father, however, having fallen foul of the regime, is accused of embezzlement and dies of a stroke. Following her husband's death, his mother flees the country and settles in Madrid. Our hero separates from his wife and now spends much of his time in the company of his Russian neighbor, from whom he discovers the pleasures of reading. The books he reads gradually open his eyes to the incongruity between party slogans and the gray oppressive reality that surrounds him: the office routine; the daily complaints of his colleagues about problems big and small; his own obsessive thoughts which circulate like a broken record. Every day he photographs the spontaneous eruptions of dissent on the streets and witnesses the sad spectacle of young people crowding onto makeshift rafts and leaving the island. Every night he suffers from Kafkaesque nightmares in which he is arrested and tried for unknown crimes. His disappointment and delusion grow until a day comes when he declares his unwillingness to become an informer, and his real troubles begin.33 Revolutions is a candid and moving story about the disappointments of a generation that believed in the ideals of the Castro Recolution. it is a unique look into the lives of ordinary people in Cuba over the past five decades and a stylish work of fiction about a young man's awakening.
