Arrebatos carnales III (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 3)
by Francisco Martín Moreno«Con la entrega de Arrebatos carnales III [...] doy por concluida la trilogía que me permitió ver a contraluz la vida amorosa de algunos personajes de la historia patria.» Con esta obra, Francisco Martín Moreno da por concluida su Trilogía Erótica de México, acogida con justificado entusiasmo por el público lector. ¿Por qué oscura razón la historia oficial ha subido a los grandes protagonistas de nuestra historia a enormes columnas de mármol blanco como si se tratara de figuras sacralizadas, santificadas, carentes de la menor pasión carnal? ¿Se trataba de proyectar la imagen impoluta de destacados actores de nuestro pasado o más bien observar su comportamiento en su más exquisita intimidad? El autor, un acucioso investigador de los acontecimientos que definieron nuestra actual realidad, descubrió el fuego, el idilio que consumía a Melchor Ocampo, uno de los padres de la Reforma en elsiglo xix; a Díaz Ordaz, el jefe del Ejecutivo que padeció los horrores del movimiento del 68; a Venustiano Carranza, uno de los supuestos inspiradores de la Constitución de 1917; a Felipe Carrillo Puerto, el gran líder henequenero, feroz enemigo de la esclavitud yucateca; sin olvidar la configuración psicológica de un influyente inquisidor del siglo xvii en México.

The Arrest: A Novel
by Jonathan LethemFrom the award-winning author of The Feral Detective and Motherless Brooklyn comes an utterly original post-collapse yarn about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car.The Arrest isn’t post-apocalypse. It isn’t a dystopia. It isn’t a utopia. It’s just what happens when much of what we take for granted—cars, guns, computers, and airplanes, for starters—quits working. . . . Before the Arrest, Sandy Duplessis had a reasonably good life as a screenwriter in L.A. An old college friend and writing partner, the charismatic and malicious Peter Todbaum, had become one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. That didn’t hurt. Now, post-Arrest, nothing is what it was. Sandy, who calls himself Journeyman, has landed in rural Maine. There he assists the butcher and delivers the food grown by his sister, Maddy, at her organic farm. But then Todbaum shows up in an extraordinary vehicle: a retrofitted tunnel-digger powered by a nuclear reactor. Todbaum has spent the Arrest smashing his way across a fragmented and phantasmagorical United States, trailing enmities all the way. Plopping back into the siblings’ life with his usual odious panache, his motives are entirely unclear. Can it be that Todbaum wants to produce one more extravaganza? Whatever he’s up to, it may fall to Journeyman to stop him. Written with unrepentant joy and shot through with just the right amount of contemporary dread, The Arrest is speculative fiction at its absolute finest.

The Arresting Eye: Race and the Anxiety of Detection (Cultural Frames, Framing Culture)
by Jinny HuhIn her reading of detective fiction and passing narratives from the end of the nineteenth century forward, Jinny Huh investigates anxieties about race and detection. Adopting an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, she examines the racial formations of African Americans and Asian Americans not only in detective fiction (from Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chan to the works of Pauline Hopkins) but also in narratives centered on detection itself (such as Winnifred Eaton's rhetoric of undetection in her Japanese romances). In explicating the literary depictions of race-detection anxiety, Huh demonstrates how cultural, legal, and scientific discourses across diverse racial groups were also struggling with demands for racial decipherability. Anxieties of detection and undetection, she concludes, are not mutually exclusive but mutually dependent on each other's construction and formation in American history and culture.
Arresting God in Kathmandu: Stories
by Samrat UpadhyayFrom &“a major new talent&” come short stories set in modern Nepal, about arranged marriages, forbidden desires, and the universal yearning for human connection (Amitav Ghosh). Set in a city where gods are omnipresent, privacy is elusive, and family defines identity, these are stories of men and women caught between their own needs and the demands of their society and culture. Psychologically rich and astonishingly acute, with &“a masterful narrative style&” (Ian MacMillan), Arresting God in Kathmandu introduces a potent new voice in contemporary fiction. &“Upadhyay brings to readers the flavor of Nepal and its culture in this impressive collection of nine short stories. Like Ha Jin&’s Bridegroom, Upadhyay&’s stories portray the lives of simple yet psychologically complex characters and reveal much about the universal human condition in us all. . . . Upadhyay&’s stories leave the reader with much food for thought and will make a good choice for book discussion groups.&” —Library Journal
