Par Santiago Ambao. 2020
"Things that happen just because, coffees that are thrown in the sink without drinking, toast that is thrown in the…
trash without eating, a protagonist who tries to name his feelings but forces himself not to think in certain directions, a woman who is almost always in the shower or behind other kinds of screens, another woman shows promise but barely scratches the surface, an innocent and slightly cross-eyed girl, a civil servant who goes crazy just when he is reaching his retirement, a boss or two who do and undo as they please, two children who immerse themselves in the PlayStation's twisted reality, the latest television, a comfortable armchair and the best possible coffee maker, the unfulfilled desire to go fishing as a family, an inner escape, a future escape. Santiago Ambao has put all these ingredients in a cocktail shaker and has extracted from it a brilliant story, well shaken and blended, although what makes it even greater is to join it with another parallel, underground story that takes place on the other side of the world, a kind of political and economic plot, a mixture of realism and science fiction, or rather the fruit of a disturbingly visionary realism." -- Translation provided by NLSFuria
Par Yamile Saied Méndez. 2022
"Seventeen-year-old Camila Hassan, a rising soccer star in Rosario, Argentina, dreams of playing professionally, in defiance of her father's wishes…

Par Pedro Cabiya. 2019
"Orishas, saints, luases, demons and angels frolic in a fantastic Puerto Rico that only the fertile imagination of Pedro Cabiya…
could have conceived. Different ministries of the multiverse's administrative bureaucracy compete to recover the valuable extraterrestrial contraband abandoned in Santurce, capital of the Borikwa Republic.... But stealing the loot won't be as easy as they think. Political satire and cosmic parody combine in a web of espionage and action where the great questions of existence share space with the most profane humor, producing a novel that resists classification within the known genres, announcing a new one. Prequel to his immensely popular novel |Trance|, |Third World| promises, like its predecessor, a reading that is impossible to interrupt." -- Translation provided by NLSEl juego sigue sin mí (Nuevos tiempos (Madrid, Spain) #300)
Par Martín Casariego. 2015
"Ismael remembers the time when, at thirteen years old, his parents hired Rai, a boy five years older than him,…
to tutor him. After an unproductive first session, they made a pact: the student would study on his own and the teacher would talk to him about books, movies, music, life.... Also about Samuel, a young man who wrote to schedule a meeting with his ex-girlfriend, with the threat that if she did not show up he would commit suicide. With this starting point, Martín Casariego has written a novel of initiation, a novel about the passage from adolescence to maturity; about the family and the new forms of relationships between young people; about the intensity of such a decisive stage in life; about the weight of existence and how to alleviate it. A story marked by shadows, doubts and secrets, in which the white whale the narrator has been running from will end up showing up unexpectedly years later, changing everything and prompting him to rethink what happened." -- Translation provided by NLSLa noche en la Zona M (A través del espejo)

L. Stine, the Garbage Pail Kids-from Adam Bomb to Brainy Janie-get into mischief at their middle school, all while battling bullies and their archenemies, Penny and Parker Perfect." -- GoodreadsGanadores
Par Tarik Carson. 1991

is a magnificent satire of our societies and our desires, but not so that man appears entirely degraded. The quest for beauty remains." -- Translation provided by NLSEl amigo del héroe
Par Alvaro Enrigue. 2012
"'It's not that I've chosen to be second place, I'm just a natural. Besides, I've believed in the goodness of…
second place for many years.' So begins The Hero's Friend, first published in 1998 and remastered for this edition. This story by Álvaro Enrigue dusts off the naivety and vanity of childhood: Ponchito, a child like any other, played at being the hero. A memorable literary exercise. A sobering experience. Enrigue puts himself at the feet of his protagonist and relives the dialogues of two middle school kids who in their relentless fight against crime are forced to face the ultimate and most unexpected consequences." -- Translation provided by NLSMaldad

be threatened and persecuted by groups anxious to steal his secret. To save himself and discover the source of his invisibility, Nicolas will be forced to follow a path of ambiguous clues that will lead him to self-understanding. With this novel, written in a mystical and esoteric key, halfway between science fiction and thriller, with black humor and a renewed picaresque, Homero Aridjis makes the invisible visible: the little things, the big questions, the places we are used to, the signs, the words, the messages erased by time." -- Translation provided by NLS2487: novela : ciencia ficción (Colección Literatura de hoy (Cochabamba, Bolivia) #647)
