Construida sobre los testimonios ficticios de quienes participaron en aquellos acontecimientos (sicarios, mafiosos, políticos o espías; víctimas y verdugos; simples espectadores e, incluso, algún fantasma), "Breve historia de siete asesinatos" nos lleva al corazón de las tinieblas jamaicanas recorriendo tres décadas turbulentas e infinidad de episodios estremecedores (no exentos, pese a todo, de un elemento cómico). Manejada con increíble pericia, la estructura coral permite a Marlon James plasmar los hechos desde múltiples perspectivas y texturas verbales. Ese aspecto esencial del relato, la volcánica trama del habla, era un auténtico desafío literario que los escritores Javier Calvo y Wendy Guerra han logrado superar de forma brillante en su espléndida traducción.

Winner of the Booker Prize One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century One of Entertainment Weekly’s Top 10 Books of the Decade One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years A “thrilling, ambitious . . . intense” (Los Angeles Times) novel that explores the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in the late 1970s, from the author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines brilliant storytelling with his unrivaled skills of characterization and meticulous eye for detail to forge an enthralling novel of dazzling ambition and scope. On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven gunmen stormed the singer’s house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but much has been whispered, gossiped and sung about in the streets of West Kingston. Rumors abound regarding the assassins’ fates, and there are suspicions that the attack was politically motivated. A Brief History of Seven Killings delves deep into that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica’s history and beyond. James deftly chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters – gunmen, drug dealers, one-night stands, CIA agents, even ghosts – over the course of thirty years as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and ultimately reemerge into the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Along the way, they learn that evil does indeed cast long shadows, that justice and retribution are inextricably linked, and that no one can truly escape his fate. Gripping and inventive, shocking and irresistible, A Brief History of Seven Killings is a mesmerizing modern classic of power, mystery, and insight.

Em 3 de dezembro de 1976, às vésperas das eleições na Jamaica e dois dias antes de Bob Marley realizar o show Smile Jamaica para aliviar as tensões políticas em Kingston, sete homens não identificados invadiram a casa do cantor com metralhadoras em punho. O ataque feriu Marley, a esposa e o empresário, entre várias outras pessoas. Poucas informações oficiais foram divulgadas sobre os atiradores. No entanto, muitos boatos circularam a respeito do destino deles. Breve história de sete assassinatos é uma obra de ficção que explora esse período instável na história da Jamaica e vai muito além. Marlon James cria com magistralidade personagens — assassinos, traficantes, jornalistas e até mesmo fantasmas — que andaram pelas ruas de Kingston nos anos 1970, dominaram o submundo das drogas de Nova York na década de 1980 e ressurgiram em uma Jamaica radicalmente transformada nos anos 1990. Um romance épico, brilhante e arrebatador, vencedor do Man Booker Prize de 2015.

Brand Jamaica is an empirical look at the postindependence national image and branding project of Jamaica within the context of nation-branding practices at large. Although a tiny Caribbean island inhabited by only 2.8 million people, Jamaica commands a remarkably large presence on the world stage. Formerly a colony of Britain and shaped by centuries of slavery, violence, and plunder, today Jamaica owes its popular global standing to a massively successful troika of brands: music, sports, and destination tourism. At the same time, extensive media attention focused on its internal political civil war, mushrooming violent crime, inflation, unemployment, poverty, and abuse of human rights have led to perceptions of the country as unsafe. Brand Jamaica explores the current practices of branding Jamaica, particularly within the context of postcoloniality, reconciles the lived realities of Jamaicans with the contemporary image of Jamaica projected to the world, and deconstructs the current tourism model of sun, sand, and sea. Hume Johnson and Kamille Gentles-Peart bring together multidisciplinary perspectives that interrogate various aspects of Jamaican national identity and the dominant paradigm by which it has been shaped.

El Rastreador es conocido por sus habilidades como cazador: «Tiene un buen olfato», se dice de él. Contratado para encontrar a un misterioso niño que ha desaparecido, el Rastreador rompe su propia regla de no trabajar con nadie y se encuentra de pronto como parte de un grupo que debe colaborar y apoyarse para llevar su objetivo a buen puerto. Se trata de un grupo heterogéneo, formado por personajes inusuales, cada uno con sus propios secretos, incluido un hombre capaz de cambiar de forma a su antojo conocido como el Leopardo. Mientras el Rastreador sigue el olor del chico, el grupo se enfrenta a criaturas que intentan que no lleguen a su objetivo. Y mientras luchan para sobrevivir, el Rastreador empieza a preguntarse quién es realmente ese niño, por qué ha estado perdido durante tanto tiempo y por qué todos intentan evitar que sea encontrado. Y algo más importante: ¿quién está contando la verdad en esta historia y quién está mintiendo? Hundiendo su propia imaginación en la mitología y en la historia africana, Marlon James ha escrito una novela que no se parece a nada: una saga de aventuras capaz de cortar el aliento, tan ambiciosa como imposible de dejar de leer. Huyendo de las etiquetas y repleta de personajes inolvidables, Leopardo negro, lobo rojo es un ejercicio de literatura tan sorprendente como profundo que explora nuestra necesidad de entender cómo funcionan la verdad y el poder.

El autor estudia el tema de la responsabilidad penal en Los minutos negros de Martín Solares; el desengaño de la revolución y el olvido en Verano rojo, de Daniel Quirós; la literatura sobre el horror en Bioy, de Diego Trelles Paz; la revisión de las labores de la policía en Brasil en Elite de tropa, de Luis Eduardo Soares; el poder de la prensa en Argentina en Crímenes apropiados, de Fabio Lezcano, y la vigencia del MIR en Chile en Las manos al fuego, de José Gai Hernández. Estas novelas anticipan otro modo de organización social, donde tiende a desaparecer la figura del Estado sancionador.
