Tomorrow River
by Lesley KagenNational bestselling author Lesley Kagen makes her hardcover debut with an extraordinary literary thriller, rendered through the eyes of an unforgettable eleven-year-old girl. During the summer of 1968, Shenandoah Carmody's mother disappeared. Her twin sister, Woody, stopped speaking, and her once-loving father slipped into a mean drunkenness unbefitting a superior court judge. Since then, Shenny-named for the Shenandoah valley-has struggled to hold her world together, taking care of herself and her sister the best she can. Shenny feels certain that Woody knows something about the night their mother vanished, but her attempts to communicate with her mute twin leave her as confused as their father's efforts to confine the girls to the family's renowned virginia estate. As the first anniversary of their mother's disappearance nears, her father's threat to send Woody away and his hints at an impending remarriage spur a desperate Shenny to find her mother before it's too late. She is ultimately swept up in a series of heartbreaking events that force her to come to terms with the painful truth about herself and her family. Told with the wisdom, sensitivity, and humor for which Lesley Kagen has become known, Tomorrow Riveris a stellar hardcover debut.

Tongolele no sabía bailar
by Sergio Ramírez«El que hace sombra, pierde el cuerpo y pierde la sombra —dijo Lord Dixon—. Apunte esa frase, camarada, que es de mi propia cosecha.» Estamos en pleno siglo XXI, en una Nicaragua en la que se están viviendo unas revueltas populares que son reprimidas brutalmente por el gobierno, apoyado en el siniestro brazo ejecutor del jefe de los servicios secretos. El inspector Dolores Morales debe enfrentarse en la distancia con ese ser terrible apodado Tongolele, responsable último de su exilio en Honduras, que mueve con frialdad y cinismo, en parte gracias a los consejos adivinatorios de su madre, muchos hilos de la desquiciada política del país. La magistral prosa de Sergio Ramírez va desvelando poco a poco un entramado turbio, lleno de secretismos, traiciones y oscuras maniobras al que tendrá que enfrentarse el inspector Morales, respaldado por el inefable Lord Dixon, doña Sofía Smith y el resto desus socios. Porque, en esa Nicaragua siempre turbulenta, cualquier paso puede darse en falso y provocar el derrumbe definitivo de aquel que decida enfrentarse de algún modo, por ridículo que sea, al poder establecido. «Aúna la narración, la poesía y el rigor del observador y el actor[y] refleja la viveza de la vida cotidiana convirtiendo la realidad en una obra de arte, todo ello con excepcional altura literaria y en pluralidad de géneros.» Jurado del Premio Cervantes La crítica ha dicho: «Sergio Ramírez me ha parecido siempre un ser humano extraordinario [...]. Su vida es una mezcla ardiente de una doble pasión: las palabras y la justicia. Las palabras como un delirio, como un juego, como un reto, como un placer. La justicia convertida en el diario afán con que ama, reniega y lucha por Nicaragua.» Ángeles Mastretta «El primer cuentista vivo en el continente latinoamericano, y uno de los mejores en español, heredero de las armas de Cortázar y Monterroso [...]. Por cada cuento un mundo.» Javier Sancho Más, Babelia «Sergio Ramírez se ha sobrepuesto a los reveses con una escritura poblada de personajes refugiados en el cinismo y el humor, negro a ser posible, como antídoto contra la decepción y el desengaño.» Fernando Goitia, XL Semanal «Una novela adictiva. Es alta literatura, en ella todo está paladeado y escrito con esa capacidad que sólo tienen los buenos escritores de ir más allá.» Luisgé Martín (sobre Ya nadie llora por mí) «Denuncia explícita de la corrupción como sustento del régimen.» Juan Cruz (sobre Ya nadie llora por mí)

Tono the Infallible
by Evelio RoseroAn unforgettable yet humane novel that takes us into the heart of Colombia’s brutal society, by one of the country’s most renowned writers I was alone when someone pounded on my door. Who could it be? So begins Tono the Infallible, Evelio Rosero’s gripping novel about an intense relationship between a writer and a sociopath. Visited by his friend (a kind of Colombian Rasputin) seemingly at the verge of death, the writer, Eri, looks back on the arc of both of their lives. Unique in both its tone and its structure, the novel takes us from their student days (school fights, playground revelations, and an unforgettable trip to the seaside) into their adult years, involving rumors of a hippie cult and a bizarre raucous theater exhibit of history’s most violent crimes. Tono uses his charm and wealth—as well as reputed magical powers—to manipulate others, but it isn’t until the end of the book that the devastating truth is revealed—and how true is it? Reminiscent of the fiction of Roberto Bolano and the films of Alfonso Cuarón, this brilliant novel takes us into the heart of his country’s darkness, creating an unforgettable portrait of a society where humanity still endures, despite its brutality.
