El señor Penumbra y su librería 24 horas abierta es exactamente lo que su nombre indica: un lugar en el que entras y del que no querrás salir, un gabinete de las maravillas contemporáneo, que le dará al lector curioso una descarga de energía, sin que importe la hora del día. La crisis económica obliga a Clay Jannon a dejar atrás su vida como diseñador de páginas web en San Francisco y las casualidades, la curiosidad más absoluta y la habilidad de subir escaleras como si fuera un mono le llevan a empezar su nuevo trabajo en la librería permanentemente abierta del señor Penumbra. Después de unos días trabajando, Clay se da cuenta de que la librería es un lugar mucho más extravagante de lo que su nombre indica. Solo hay unos cuantos clientes, pero van continuamente y nunca compran nada. Lo que hacen es llevarse libros prestados, ejemplares misteriosos que se encuentran en los lugares más recónditos de la librería, todo de acuerdo a un trato especial que mantienen con Penumbra. Clay concluye que la tienda no es más que una tapadera para otro negocio y su curiosidad pronto le lleva a ponerse a analizar el complejo comportamiento de los clientes y a arrastrar a sus amigos para que le ayuden a descubrir qué es lo que realmente pasa en la librería. Sin embargo, cuando le llevan sus descubrimientos al Sr. Penumbra, acaban por descubrir que los secretos se extienden mucho más allá de las paredes de la librería... Reseñas: «Una misteriosa librería, puzles, aventuras, sociedades secretas, sentido del humor excéntrico, conocimientos antiguos y conocimientos más antiguos todavía. En serio, ¿qué más se le puede pedir a un libro?» Emily Temple, Favorpill «Una divertida y sorprendente fantasía clásica sobre los lugares en los que se acaban encontrando los viejos y los nuevos conocimientos. De manera inteligente, utiliza la era digital para ponerla al servicio de la fantasía... El querer saber por qué los personajes quieren resolver el misterio de Penumbra es lo que mantiene al lector pasando páginas.» San Francisco Chronicle

A New York Times bestseller, Mr Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore is an entirely charming and lovable first novel of mysterious books and dusty bookshops; it is a witty and delightful love-letter to both the old book world and the new. Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone - and serendipity, coupled with sheer curiosity, has landed him a new job working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything, instead they simply borrow impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he's embarked on a complex analysis of the customers' behaviour and roped his friends into helping to figure out just what's going on. But once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, it turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of the bookstore... 'The pages swell with Mr Sloan's nerdy affection and youthful enthusiasm for both tangible books and new media... [but] the ties that bind the story are friendship and vitality for life. This is a clever and whimsical tale with a big heart' The Economist Shortlisted for the LA Times Book Award for First Fiction.

From Robin Sloan, the New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, comes Sourdough, "a perfect parable for our times" (San Francisco Magazine): a delicious and funny novel about an overworked and under-socialized software engineer discovering a calling and a community as a baker. Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Southern Living Lois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers quickly close up shop. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive, they tell her—feed it daily, play it music, and learn to bake with it. Lois is no baker, but she could use a roommate, even if it is a needy colony of microorganisms. Soon, not only is she eating her own homemade bread, she’s providing loaves to the General Dexterity cafeteria every day. Then the company chef urges her to take her product to the farmer’s market—and a whole new world opens up.

A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast.

I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened. Min Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.

One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.
