By Alan Pauls. 2020
Caballero maduro, solitario, algo anacrónico que tiene por hobbies buscar departamentos para alquilar y comprar chucherías por internet, Savoy está…
en ese momento crítico en el que debe fingir que desprecia el tren que está perdiendo. «El surgimiento de Alan Pauls es lo mejor que podía haberle pasado a la literatura argentina desde la estrella de Manuel Puig.»Ricardo Piglia No piensa mudarse, pero busca departamentos en alquiler. Lee avisos y visita casas habitadas, intruso fugaz en vidas ajenas. No necesita nada (y lo exaspera la tecnología), pero vaga por internet comprando gadgets, cosas viejas, bichos embalsamados, por el placer de entrar en la historia de otros. Pero ¿qué pasa con Savoy -cincuentón quieto, aficionado a los roces inocuos- cuando se cruza con Carla, una treintañera feliz, sin apegos, que viaja de país en país cuidando casas, mascotas, plantas de marihuana? ¿Cuál de los dos mundos cambia, se ilumina, pierde más la cabeza con el impacto? Entre viajes, piletas y delirios digitales, La mitad fantasma explora una superstición que sigue desvelándonos: la idea de que en alguna parte hay algo, alguien, a la medida exacta de nuestros deseos. La crítica ha dicho sobre el autor: «Querido señor Pauls: Es usted uno de los mejores escritores latinoamericanos vivos.»Roberto Bolaño «Uno de los pocos escritores argentinos contemporáneos realmente imprescindibles.»Patricio Pron «Un escritor auténtico, un pez gordo, plateado, reluciente.»Ignacio Echevarría, El País «Una de las voces más contemporáneas, audaces e incisivas de la narrativa latinoamericana.»J.A.

By Thisbe Nissen. 2021
In How Other People Make Love, Thisbe Nissen chronicles the lives and choices of people questioning the heteronormative institution of…
marriage. Not best-served by established conventions and conventional mores, these people—young, old, gay, straight, Midwestern, coastal—are finding their own paths in learning who they are and how they want to love and be loved, even when those paths must be blazed through the unknown. Concerning husbands and wives, lovers and leavers, Nissen’s stories explore our search for connection and all the ways we undercut it, unwittingly and intentionally, when we do find it. How do we hold ourselves together—to function, work, and survive—while endlessly yearning to be undone, unraveled, and laid bare, however untenable and excruciating? How Other People Make Love contains nine stories. "Win’s Girl" features a single woman who works at an Iowa slaughterhouse and uses the insurance money from a car accident to update the electric system in her dead parents’ old house, only to be unwittingly embroiled with a shady electrician who ultimately forces her to stand up for herself. In "Home Is Where the Heart Gives Out and We Arouse the Grass," a young woman flees after cheating on her husband and winds up at a Nebraska roadside motel populated by participants in a regional dog show who help her decide what to do next. In "Unity Brought Them Together," a young man heads to his favorite New York coffee shop intending to finish the Christmas cards his vacationing fiancée insists on sending, but winds up meeting another displaced young Midwestern man there and going home with him instead. All these stories explore the question, "how do we love?" as well as the answers we find, discard, follow, banish, and cling to in all our humanness and desperation. How Other People Make Love asserts that there aren’t right and wrong ways to love; there are only our very complicated and contradictory human hearts, minds, bodies, and desires—all searching for something, whether we know what that is or not. These are stories for anyone who has ever loved or been loved.The Mediterranean Wall: A Novel
By Louis-Philippe Dalembert. 2021
In this deeply hopeful and viscerally detailed novel, award-winning Haitian author Louis-Philippe Dalembert (The Other Side of the Sea) has…
provided a Tolstoyan narrative of the contemporary immigrants' exodus from war, famine, poverty, criminality and injustice to a better life across the Mediterranean Sea. Following in intimate detail the lives of three women from disparate religions and cultures, and nations--Nigeria, Eritrea, and Syria--Dalembert compassionately depicts these three women and the bond they form together in their mutual struggle to escape to Europe via an overcrowded, dilapidated boat across the sea, the metaphorical wall between their former lives and the future. Certain to appeal to readers of literature of migration and such recent fiction as "Behold the Dreamers" and "The Lost Children Archive."Tuesday's Child
By Fern Michaels. 2012

Now, on the verge of his death, Adam exonerates Sophie and leaves her a huge fortune in atonement as well. Sophie retreats to Kala&’s house and tries to evade the media frenzy that surrounds her. Kala is determined to help her client make her way back into the world. Yet for both, there are still revelations in store—about the nature of redemption, the strange workings of fate, and the power of forgiveness. And most of all, about the secrets that hide in every heart—even those we think we know best . . .
