The Diaspora Sonnets
by Oliver de la PazLONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY For fans of Diane Seuss and Victoria Chang, a coruscating collection that eloquently invokes the perseverance and myth of the Filipino diaspora in America. In 1972, after Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law, Oliver de la Paz’s father, in a last fit of desperation to leave the Philippines, threw his papers at an immigration clerk, hoping to get them stamped. He was prepared to leave, having already quit his job and having exchanged pesos for dollars; but he couldn’t anticipate the challenges of the migratory lifestyle he and his family would soon adopt in America. Their search for a sense of “home” and boundless feelings of deracination are evocatively explored by award-winning poet de la Paz in this formally inventive collection of sonnets. Broken into three parts—“The Implacable West,” “Landscape with Work, Rest, and Silence,” and “Dwelling Music”—The Diaspora Sonnets eloquently invokes the perseverance and bold possibilities of de la Paz’s displaced family as they strove for stability and belonging. In order to establish her medical practice, de la Paz’s mother had to relocate often for residencies. As they moved from state to state his father worked to support the family. Sonnets thus flit from coast to coast, across prairies and deserts, along the way musing on shadowy dreams of a faraway country. The sonnet proves formally malleable as de la Paz breaks and rejoins its tradition throughout this collection, embarking on a broader conversation about what fits and how one adapts—from the restrained use of rhyme in “Diaspora Sonnet in the Summer with the River Water Low” and carefully metered “Diaspora Sonnet Imagining My Father’s Uncertainty and Nothing Else” to the hybridized “Diaspora Sonnet at the Feeders Before the Freeze.” A series of “Chain Migration” poems viscerally punctuate the sonnets, giving witness to the labor and sacrifice of the immigrant experience, as do a series of hauntingly beautiful pantoums. Written with the deft touch of a virtuoso and the compassion of a loving son, The Diaspora Sonnets powerfully captures the peculiar pangs of a diaspora “that has left and is forever leaving.”
Dibs In Search Of Self
by Virginia M. Axline Leonard CarmichaelThe classic of child therapy. Dibs will not talk. He will not play. He has locked himself in a very special prison. And he is alone.

El dibujo del tiempo
by Silvina OcampoTestimonios y opiniones vertidos en libros, diarios, revistas. Todo con la lucidez, la riqueza y el extraordinario estilo de una de las mejores escritoras argentinas de todos los tiempos. El dibujo del tiempo reúne por primera vez los textos autobiográficos y ensayísticos, muchos de ellos hasta ahora inéditos, que la autora escribió entre 1938 y 1989. Autorretrato hecho de fragmentos dispersos, este volumen incluye recuerdos de infancia, tan cotidianos como ambiguos, que proyectan la misma magia de sus ficciones y de su poesía; un discurso de agradecimiento por el Premio Nacional de 1964; un largo ensayo sobre la poesía lírica inglesa; inspirados comentarios sobre cine o sobre el cuento policial; evocaciones de los escritores de su círculo más inmediato, como Jorge Luis Borges; prólogos que revelan su minucioso conocimiento del arte y de la literatura; y encuestas, entrevistas, diálogos y algunos textos inclasificables, que nos acercan a una Silvina Ocampo íntima y secreta. En El dibujo del tiempo se despliega toda la singularidad de una escritora esencial de la literatura argentina, que siempre deslumbra por la ferocidad de su imaginación y por su serena transformación del orden que nos impone la realidad. Porque -como ella misma lo dice- "la realidad es lo único fantástico que nos queda". «Silvina para mí era ejemplo, como pocos, de saludable desdén por la norma, de impertinencia creadora, en suma, de libertad intelectual.»Sylvia Molloy
Dicey's Song (The Tillerman Cycle #2)
by Cynthia VoigtThe Newbery-winning novel in Cynthia Voigt’s timeless Tillerman cycle.When Momma abandoned Dicey Tillerman and her three siblings in a mall parking lot and was later traced to an asylum where she lay unrecognizing, unknowing, she left her four children no choice but to get on by themselves. They set off alone on foot over hundreds of miles until they finally found someone to take them in. Gram’s rundown farm isn’t perfect, but they can stay together as a family—which is all Dicey really wanted. But after watching over the others for so long, it’s hard for Dicey to know what to do now. Her own identity has been so wrapped up in being the caretaker, navigator, penny counter, and decision maker that she’s not sure how to let go of some responsibilities while still keeping a sense of herself. But when the past comes back with devastating force, Dicey sees just how necessary—and painful—letting go can be.

Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta
by James HannahamWinner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award In this &“dangerously hilarious&” novel (Los Angeles Times), a trans woman reenters life on the outside after more than twenty years in a men&’s prison, over one consequential Fourth of July weekend—from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods. Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she&’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn&’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce&’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served.

Die tote Schriftstellerin
by Núria AñóAnna ist eine Schriftstellerin in mittleren Jahren, die ihre Tochter Berta allein großgezogen hat. Berta ist mittlerweile erwachsen und zerbricht sich den Kopf darüber, ob sie ihren Vater, den sie bisher nur auf einem Foto gesehen hat, kennenlernen möchte. Diese Frage wird umso essentieller für sie, je mehr es in der Beziehung zu ihrem Freund Hans kriselt. Hans arbeitet in einer Fabrik und hat eine jüngere Schwester, Clara, ein Mädchen, das sich von niemandem verstanden fühlt und hoffnungslos in einen Jungen mit einem gelben Motorrad verliebt ist. Aber vor allem wird die Geschichte von Anna Flieder erzählt, die, als sie sich an ihren ersten autobiographischen Roman wagt, Besuch von der Inspiration höchstpersönlich erhält und zwar in der Form jenes Mannes, den sie vor etlichen Jahren verlassen hat. “Der Roman beobachtet eine Autorin während des Schreibprozesses. […] Ein Buch für die, die das Lesen lieben und das viel Raum für eigene Interpretationen lässt.” –La Mañana „Der Roman Die tote Schriftstellerin richtet sich an Leser, die es zu schätzen wissen, wenn sich die Literatur selbst in einem literarischen Werk reflektiert. Darüber hinaus lässt der Roman den Leser in die Charaktere, ihre Gefühle und Lebenssituationen eintauchen, wodurch sich unweigerlich ein Gefühl der Identifikation entwickelt. […] Es handelt sich um einen literarischen Text, der für höchstes Lesevergnügen sorgt, der sich durch eine metaphorische Sprache auszeichnet und mit Bildern spielt, die Szenen des Alltags beleuchten, die das Leben mit all seinen unzähligen Möglichkeiten uns oft nicht wahrnehmen lässt.” –Dr. Alexandra Santos Pinheiro, Resonancias literarias, Nr. 153 „Dieser Roman erzählt die Geschichte der Schriftstellerin Anna und beschreibt zugleich die Welt und das Leben der ihr nahestehenden Personen. Für Anna stellt ihr literarisches Dasein d
Dientes blancos (Quinteto/tusquets Ser. #Vol. 52)
by Zadie SmithUn relato fresco y divertido de la Inglaterra moderna a través de la historia ferozmente ingeniosa de los inmigrantes en Inglaterra durante un período de cuarenta años. Situado en un barrio londinense de inmigrantes, el inmenso fresco humano que dibuja la autora tiene como epicentro las familias de Archie Jones y Samad Iqbal, dos ex combatientes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que vuelven a encontrarse después de treinta años sin verse. Archie está casado con una jamaicana exuberante y Samad con Alsana, bengalí como él, y con las ideas muy claras. Pero lo más preocupante no es estar casados con mujeres jóvenes de carácter endemoniado, ni la falta de dinero, ni las secuelas de la guerra; no, la prueba más dura es la relación con sus hijos, que a la hora de llevar a cabo los proyectos fracasados de sus padres se rebelan: se rebelan contra el racismo británico, contra su propia clase social, incluso contra su barrio, sus orígenes, y su historia. Así, cada uno a su manera, son la prueba viviente de lo difícil que resulta escapar de un destino trazado de antemano. Sin duda uno de los autores jóvenes más destacados de la literatura anglosajona de los últimos años, la británica Zadie Smith asombró a la crítica y al público lector cuando, con apenas veintidós años, reveló en esta excepcional primera novela una inaudita capacidad para registrar las grandezas y miserias humanas con un ojo observador y distante, pleno de humor y sabia ironía. Galardonada con los premios Whitbread y Guardian, además de quedar finalista en todos los demás concursos literarios importantes de Gran Bretaña, Dientes blancos fue portada del New York Times y Le Monde y, por añadidura, ocupó los primeros puestos en las listas de libros más vendidos en ambas orillas del Atlántico. La crítca ha dicho...«Un debut que asombra por su consistencia, divertido y serio a la vez; la voz tiene auténtico timbre literario. Dientes blancos me encantó y me impresionó. Tiene garra.»Salman Rushdie «Un prosa ácida, lujuriosa, eléctrica. Zadie Smith es una Dickens de la era postcolonial.»L'Express «Un nuevo y gran talento. Un optimismo mordaz e irreverente sin ser frívolo, comprometido y entretenido a la vez.»The Guardian «Smith mantiene el tipo con una confianza y energía desbordantes, exentas de falsedad. Al acabar el día, hay motivos para alegrarse, y este elocuente y divertido libro es uno de ellos.»The New York Times Book Review «Una gran novela sobre grandes temas; un relato ingenioso, de aguda inteligencia y comicidad.»The Bookseller «Aguda, fluorescente y polifacética, la novela de Smith recuerda a las obras de Rushdie: extremadamente contemporáneas y sin embargo imbuidas de contenido histórico.»Publisher's Weekly «Hilarante, poliédrica y, a la vez, sumamente inteligente, profunda y madura opera prima.»Qué Leer «Dientes blancos es una novela ciertamente ambiciosa, nutrida de un potencial narrativo que denota un sorprendente poderío.»El País «Dientes blancos deja el buen sabor de boca y la frescura de un excelente elixir; divierte y permite imaginar un Londres no tan británico, menos victoriano y caduco; un imposible té de las cinco servido en porcelana exótica con el humor de Woody Allen.»El Correo
