Si saltamos a la vez
By Elisa Macías. 2020
«Lo más impresionante no fue que él pudiera saltar en el tiempo, sino que entre todos estos universos y épocas…
yo pudiera encontrarle.» Vito tiene veinte años y su vida se resume en días grises, tedio y desaliento. La única magia que vivió en su vida fue, cuando de pequeño, de madrugada, Peter Pan le deseó feliz cumpleaños. Ese fue el único regalo que recibió. Y ese año y los siguientes, el día de su cumpleaños estuvo teñido siempre por melancolía y rabia mal escondida. Por eso, cuando en verano conoce a un chico encantador y misterioso, Vito se resiste a ilusionarse, más cuando no sabe si se volverán a ver, escondiéndose tras un escudo de malhumor. Pero Xavier aparece de nuevo, meses después, dispuesto a hacerse un hueco en su vida, y Vito, contagiándose de su entusiasmo y vitalidad, se abre finalmente a él. Primero como amigo. Luego..., sintiendo algo más. Hasta que un día le cuenta que, de pequeño, creyó ver a Peter Pan. Y esa misma noche Vito sueña con ese momento de nuevo, solo que esta vez la figura que ve le es familiar. Demasiado familiar. Pero es imposible, ¿no? No puede ser. Y sin embargo... El pasado no se puede cambiar, pero el futuro siempre está por escribirse.3d20 Series Anthology: A #geeklove Menage Romance (GeekLove Times Three #1)

attraction across the spectrum of passion and infatuation. In this fearless collection, lust and loneliness drive a diverse cast of queer and straight characters into sometimes precarious entanglements.

By Elbeth Vicious. 2021
«Y ahí, entre toda esa locura a medio camino entre lo salvaje y lo amable, me encuentro los ojos más…
bonitos del mundo.» Carla está harta. Harta de su trabajo, de su bloqueo creativo y de esa rutina que amenaza con asfixiarla a cada día que pasa. Harta de todo y de todos, excepto de ese delicioso pastel de limón que, cada martes y jueves, encarga a su restaurante favorito. Por eso, cuando introduce la mano en la bolsa de papel marrón y se encuentra con un estúpido e insulso pastel de miel, pierde la cabeza.

Arrastrada por su energía, no tarda en convertirse en una alumna más. Y, por mucho que intente negarlo, el rencor comienza a transformarse en algo que Carla no sabe o no quiere identificar. Porque lo que Ángela y Carla sienten está muy claro para todos... excepto para ellas. Pero el amor no entiende de dudas ni miedos y parece decidido a cruzar sus caminos una y otra vez hasta que acepten que su destino está en brazos de la otra.The Cheerful Scapegoat: Fables (Semiotext(e) / Native Agents)
By Wayne Koestenbaum. 2021
Wayne Koestenbaum's first book of short fiction: a collection of whimsical, surreal, baroque, ribald, and heartbreaking fables.In his first book…
of short fiction--a collection of whimsical, surreal, baroque, ribald, and heartbreaking fables--Wayne Koestenbaum takes the gloom and melancholy of our own terrifying political moment and finds subversive solace by overturning the customary protocols of tale-telling. Characters and narrators wander into strange locales; the difference between action and thinking, between reality and dream, grows moot in a heightened yet burlesque manner. The activities in The Cheerful Scapegoat are a cross between a comedy of manners and a Sadean orgy. Language has its own desires: figures of speech carry an erotic charge that straddles the line between slapstick and vertigo. Punishment hangs over every dialogue--but in the fable-world of The Cheerful Scapegoat, abjection comes with an undertaste of contentment. The tchotchkes of queer culture--codes and signifiers--get scrambled together in these stories and then blown up into an improbable soufflé. Koestenbaum's fables travel in circles, slipping away from their original point and leading the reader to a paradisiacal suspension of fixed categories. Intensified sentences and curlicue narratives scheme together mesmerically to convince the reader to abandon old ways of thinking and to take on a commitment to the polymorphous, the wandering, the tangential. Koestenbaum's fables--emergency bulletins uttered in a perverse vernacular of syntactic pirouettes--alert us to the necessity of pushing language into new contortions of exactitude and ecstatic excess.Bruised
By Tanya Boteju. 2021
Whip It meets We Are Okay in this vibrant coming-of-age story, about a teen girl navigates first love, identity, and…
grief when she immerses herself in the colorful, brutal, beautiful world of roller derby—from the acclaimed author of Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens.To Daya Wijesinghe, a bruise is a mixture of comfort and control. Since her parents died in an accident she survived, bruises have become a way to keep her pain on the surface of her skin so she doesn&’t need to deal with the ache deep in her heart. So when chance and circumstances bring her to a roller derby bout, Daya is hooked. Yes, the rules are confusing and the sport seems to require the kind of teamwork and human interaction Daya generally avoids. But the opportunities to bruise are countless, and Daya realizes that if she&’s going to keep her emotional pain at bay, she&’ll need all the opportunities she can get. The deeper Daya immerses herself into the world of roller derby, though, the more she realizes it&’s not the simple physical pain-fest she was hoping for. Her rough-and-tumble teammates and their fans push her limits in ways she never imagined, bringing Daya to big truths about love, loss, strength, and healing.Juntos hasta la medianoche
By Deborah Heredia. 2021
Lo que pasó aquella tarde determinó el destino de ambos, pero ¿y si tuvieran una oportunidad para recuperar su vida…
en común? Noel y Leo son mejores amigos. No, aún más. Son almas gemelas. Se conocen desde la infancia, lo saben todo el uno del otro y no imaginan una vida en la que no estén unidos. Por eso la noche en la que discuten ninguno de los dos puede imaginar que será la última que pasarán juntos. A la mañana siguiente el mundo ha cambiado. El universo los ha separado. Leo no existe en el mundo de Noel y Noel es solo una fantasía en el de Leo. Y lo que es más, solo ellos recuerdan lo que pasó: las noches de risas en el jardín, las cenas improvisadas, los ensayos y el festival. Sobre todo el festival. Noel, que siempre se ha mostrado esquivo con Leo, se cree culpable por no haber entendido que lo que siente por él es algo más que una simple amistad. Leo, enamorado de Noel desde siempre, no sabe qué hacer: ahora que nadie lo recuerda, no sabe si estar a su lado es más doloroso que haberlo perdido para siempre. Una vertiginosa carrera en contra del tiempo en la que tratarán de no olvidarse el uno del otro antes de que el reloj marque la medianoche y todo vuelva a comenzar.La mitad evanescente
By Brit Bennett. 2020
Nº1 THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST Nominada al National Book Award 2020 y al Women’s Prize for Fiction 2021…
Nº1 de la Indie Next List Entre los mejores libros del 2020 según The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, People, Time Magazine y Vanity Fair «Una reflexión AMBICIOSA sobre la RAZA y la IDENTIDAD.»The New York Times Generación tras generación, la comunidad negra del pueblo de Mallard, en Luisiana, ha intentado aclarar el tono de su piel favoreciendo los matrimonios mixtos. Las inseparables gemelas Desirée y Stella Vignes, con su color níveo, sus ojos castaños y su cabello ondulado, son un buen ejemplo de ello. Tan distintas y tan iguales, decidieron huir juntas del diminuto pueblo creyendo que también podrían escapar de su sangre. Años después y ante la mirada atónita de todos, Desireé regresa acompañada de una niña negra como el carbón. Hace tiempo que no sabe nada de Stella, después de que decidiera desaparecer y renunciar definitivamente a sus orígenes para vivir otra vida como mujer de raza blanca. Aclamada como la digna heredera de Toni Morrison y James Baldwin, Brit Bennett es una de las grandes revelaciones de la literatura afroamericana de los últimos tiempos. La crítica ha dicho... «Una novela de una inmensa, brillante y poderosa inteligencia.»Deborah Levy «Una historia atemporal sobre lo que significa simplemente ser, crecer y definirse y reinventar, para negociar un lugar en el mundo. También es una profundahistoria norteamericana, comprometida con el pasado y el presente racista de un país de una manera rigurosa, mientras se interroga sobre sus valores fundacionales, como la herencia y la libertad. Es una lograda y conmovedora novela válida en cualquier época. En el momento actual, es punzante, dirigiendo sutilmente el relato hacia cuestiones sobre quiénes somos y quiénes queremos ser.»Entertainment Weekly «El tono y el estilo de Bennett recuerda a James Baldwin y a Jacqueline Woodson, pero especialmente tiene reminiscencias del debut de Toni Morrison en 1970, Ojos azules.»Kiley Reid, The Wall Street Journal «Una saga familiar intergeneracional que aborda temas peliagudossobre la identidad por raza y la intolerancia, y expresa los efectos corrosivos que provocan el secretismo y las imposturas. También es una gran lectura que te transportará más allá de tus circunstancias actuales, cualesquiera que sean ... al igual que Las madres, esta novela temantendrá atado a sus páginas queriendo averiguar cómo sigue.»NPR «La magníficamente escrita segunda novela de Bennett - una reflexión ambiciosa sobre la raza y la identidad- indaga en las suertes divergentes de dos gemelas, nacidas en el Sur de Jim Crow, después de que una de ella decida hacerse pasar por blanca. Bennett logra equilibrar las exigencias literarias de una caracterización dinámica con las realidades históricas y sociales del tema en cuestión.»The New York Times «Reinventarse o desaparecer son dos caras de la misma moneda. Bennett nos invita a considerar el significado de autenticidad cuando nos enfrentamos con la discriminación por raza, color de piel , sexo u orientación sexual. ¿Qué precio pagamos por ser nosotros mismos? ¿Cuántos de nosotros decidimos escapar de lo que se espera de nosotros? ¿Y qué ocurre al otrolado de la ecuación, la parte que dejamos atrás?
