«Una obra de gran aliento narrativo que ha conquistado para la literatura mexicana actual arquetipos de la historia y la…
cultura del país.» Álvaro Ruiz Abreu En la novela Adiós a los padres, Héctor Aguilar Camín narra la historia de su familia, marcada por la ausencia de su padre. Para decir la verdad -ésa que está más allá de los datos-, el escritor sabía que sólo podía recurrir a la literatura. En este volumen de relatos replica la misma maniobra, pero llevándola al extremo: los quince cuentos de Historias conversadas pueden leerse como la autobiografía de un personaje de ficción que en cada capítulo se inventara, o se robara, una vida distinta. Estos cuentos, estas novelas condensadas, nos recuerdan que conversar es el origen primordial de la literatura. En cada uno, Héctor Aguilar Camín reproduce con maestría la lección de Sherezada: contar una historia dentro de una historia. Y así, mediante esta estrategia, pasa revista a las pasiones de toda una vida: la amistad, la familia, los reinos perdidos, el alcohol, el amor y el deseo, la imperfección de la historia... Historias conversadas es el volumen que completa la saga familiar de Héctor Aguilar Camín y el libro que lo confirma como uno de los mejores narradores mexicanos de nuestro tiempo.

the grounds of a Montreal convent school.

While F. Scott Fitzgerald was writing the novels we remember him for today, he was also publishing short stories in…
popular magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and Esquire. Although many of Fitzgerald's short stories are celebrated and anthologised today, more remain out of print than would be expected for a writer of his stature. Some of these forgotten stories deserve to be rediscovered by the many readers who love Fitzgerald's work. Sarah Churchwell, author of the acclaimed Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby, has selected twelve forgotten stories from throughout Fitzgerald's career that refract, in different ways, his most familiar motifs: the changing meanings of America in the first decades of the twentieth century, and the desire to reconcile rich and poor through a romantic search for glamour, hope and wonder. Each of these stories offers a riff on the theme of America, a world we have lost, but can hear echoes of in Fitzgerald's characteristically rich, vivid prose.

A collection of works spanning the entire career of great 20th-century American writer Henry Miller, edited and introduced by Lawrence…
Durrell. In 1958, when Henry Miller was elected to membership in the American Institute of Arts and Letters, the citation described him as: "The veteran author of many books whose originality and richness of technique are matched by the variety and daring of his subject matter. His boldness of approach and intense curiosity concerning man and nature are unequalled in the prose literature of our times." It is most fitting that this anthology of "the best" of Henry Miller should have been assembled by one of the first among Miller’s contemporaries to recognize his genius, the eminent British writer Lawrence Durrell. Drawing material from a dozen different books Durrell has traced the main line and principal themes of the "single, endless autobiography" which is Henry Miller’s life work. "I suspect," writes Durrell in his Introduction, "that Miller’s final place will be among those towering anomalies of authorship like Whitman or Blake who have left us, not simply works of art, but a corpus of ideas which motivate and influence a whole cultural pattern." Earlier, H. L. Mencken had said, "his is one of the most beautiful prose styles today," and the late Sir Herbert Read had written that "what makes Miller distinctive among modern writers is his ability to combine, without confusion, the aesthetic and prophetic functions." Included are stories, "portraits" of persons and places, philosophical essays, and aphorisms. For each selection Miller himself prepared a brief commentary which fits the piece into its place in his life story. This framework is supplemented by a chronology from Miller’s birth in 1891 up to the spring of 1959, a bibliography, and, as an appendix, an open letter to the Supreme Court of Norway written in protest of the ban on Sexus, a part of which appears in this volume.
