Books Fiction to Read in Fall 2023 • One of Kirkus Reviews' Fall 2023 Big Books By Small Presses • A Kirkus Review Work of Translated Fiction To Read Now • One of CBC Books Best Books of 2023 In an alternate history in which the French never surrendered Detroit, children protect their own kingdom in the trees. In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city’s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together.Moon of the Turning Leaves

Porque, cuando todo tiene que ser, sucede en el momento perfecto. A veces el destino nos pone frente a un amor arrollador, que nos atraviesa, nos desarma y nos arma; un amor que posiblemente no tenga futuro, pero tiene presente, aunque ese presente dure un ratito. Hay que avanzar frente a la vida que tantas veces se pone terca y saca un as de la manga y nos juega la carta del destiempo. A veces llegamos tarde o demasiado temprano. A veces, encontramos a la persona correcta, pero el momento es el equivocado. Destiempo. Pero... ¿Esto es realmente así? Sofía trabaja como administrativa en una clínica y está atrapada en un matrimonio sin amor con Nicolás, su pareja desde la adolescencia. Todo cambia una mañana cuando se ve obligada a resolver un problema en la habitación 305, donde está internado Juan Martín Iraola, un paciente que sacudirá sus días y su manera de ver la vida. Con la guía inspiradora de Juan y el apoyo incondicional de su abuela Margarita, Sofía atravesará la mejor de todas las historias de amor: una que la tiene como protagonista. Aunque dos destinos se entrelacen en el momento incorrecto, la felicidad puede encontrarse incluso en un tiempo sin futuro. ¿Cuándo es oportuno el amor y cuándo no lo es?

"'Malice' is self-explanatory, I trust," writes the acclaimed Elizabeth Peters in her introduction to this outstanding collection. "'Domestic' distinguishes the personal and private aspects of crime from the public and impersonal. Our murderers don't kill for the fun of it (serial killers) or for a misguided ideal (assassins and terrorists) or for pay (hired hit men). They only do in people they know and love (or hate)." Gathered in homage to the most beloved crimewriter of all, Dame Agatha Christie, MALICE DOMESTIC 1 presents today's best mystery writers at the top of their form.Una estrella de bandera

Los contratos han ido disminuyendo con el tiempo, y las revistas y los cotilleos no la han ayudado nada a mejorar la situación.

del 2020 según The Washington Post y finalista de los Goodreads Choice Awards Con más de 200.000 lectores en todo el mundo, traducido a 23 idiomas y derechos audiovisuales vendidos Una despiadada distopía en la que Agustina Bazterrica inspira, con el poder explosivo de la ficción, debates de suma actualidad La súbita aparición de un virus letal que ataca a los animales modifica de manera irreversible el mundo: desde las fieras hasta las mascotas deben ser sistemáticamente sacrificadas, y su carne ya no puede ser consumida. Los gobiernos enfrentan la situación con una decisión drástica: legalizando la cría, reproducción, matanza y procesamiento de carne humana. El canibalismo es ley y la sociedad ha quedado dividida en dos grupos: los que comen y los que son comidos. Marcos Tejo, encargado general del frigorífico Krieg, separado de su esposa y a cargo de su padre, es un oscuro burócrata. El día en que recibe como regalo una mujer criada para el consumo, las tentaciones lo transforman en una conciencia peligrosa de pliegues truculentos que lo llevará a transgredir las nuevas normas hasta límites que la sociedad desconoce. ¿Qué resto de humanidad cabe cuando los muertos son cremados para evitar su consumo? ¿Quién es el otro si, de verdad, somos lo que comemos? Reseña:«Novela mayor, cuya acción transcurre en el interior de una atmósfera densa e hipnótica en la que el lector queda atrapado desde las primeras líneas como si fuera uno de sus personajes».Juan José Millás «Horriblemente eficaz. […] Esta provocativa novela maneja con maestría un cuchillo de doble filo».The Guardian«Desde las primeras palabras de la segunda novela de la novelista argentina Agustina Bazterrica, Cadáver exquisito, el lector ya es el ganado de la fila, tambaleándose, primordialmente consciente de que este libro es una carnicería, y nada de lo que suceda a continuación va a ser bonito».New York Times Book Review «¿A qué precio es viable un mundo sin animales? Esa es la pregunta que se hace la autora argentina Agustina Bazterrica. [...] Con un arte perfectamente calibrado con la ironía, [ella] presenta un asombroso retrato de una humanidad dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa para satisfacerse, incluso a expensas de sí misma».Le Monde «Una expresión mordaz y sin concesiones de lo que ocurre a diario en nuestra sociedad».La Nación «Con un lenguaje directo y despojado, Cadáver exquisito incursiona en los mecanismos siniestros de una sociedad distópica y caníbal. Las imágenes, tanto repulsivas como fascinantes, recuerdan por momentos a los cuadros violentos de Francis Bacon. La novela rodea al lector con una sensación de amenaza al volver visibles algunas prácticas oscuras y normalizadas de la vida actual».Pedro Mairal «Escrita con lenguaje minimalista, de alta precisión, Cadáver exquisito es una fábula impactante sobre la crueldad entre los seres humanos, aunque no desprovista de poesía».Clarín «Punzante historia caníbal. [...] Hay una verbalización incisiva e impiadosa de lo que sucede en la sociedad [...]. No hay eufemismos en Cadáver exquisito».Mª José R. Murguiondo, La Nación«Bazterrica delinea un lenguaje dúctil, universal; capaz de condensar el terror, el drama, la empatía y la desesperanza».Marvel Aguilera, Revista KunstUn beso en Lovelight

Y no tiene. A quien sí tiene es a Luke Peters, su mejor amigo, que de repente se ve con un negocio a su nombre y, de paso, con una relación falsa. No obstante, fingir que está enamorado de Stella le resulta fácil, y puede que el destino le haya hecho el mejor regalo de Navidad posible...
