Los días de la noche
by Silvina OcampoLos días de la noche reúne veintinueve relatos breves (uno de ellos narrado en verso libre), escritos a lo largo de la década de 1960 y publicados originariamente en volumen en 1970. Los días de la noche reúne veintinueve relatos breves (uno de ellos narrado en verso libre), escritos a lo largo de la década de 1960 y publicados originariamente en volumen en 1970. En ellos se despliega, como en una versión rioplatense de Las mil y una noches, el imaginario tumultuoso y elegíaco de Silvina Ocampo, donde coexisten las situaciones y los sentimientos más disímiles: vidas entreveradas de ficción, traiciones ardientes y venganzas gélidas, espejos o sueños que reflejan fantasmas de carne y hueso. Pero también "lo quimérico y lo casero", en palabras de Borges, la calma imperturbable que precede un crimen atroz, las metamorfosis de hombres y de plantas o las biografías de todos los perros que tuvo la autora. Y siempre la infancia, con su delicada trama de complicidades secretas donde se entremezclan, inextricablemente, la inocencia y la crueldad. «Un día los cuentos de Silvina Ocampo serán muy apreciados, como hoy son apreciados los de Chéjov y los de Kafka.»J. R. Wilcock

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.”

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

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.
