Las ficciones tragicómicas reunidas en este libro tienen un común denominador: la irrupción de una voluntad avasalladora en las vidas de hombres y mujeres vulnerables que renacen o se desmoronan bajo el influjo de sus fantasmas. ¿En qué se transforman los seres proclives a dejarse invadir, ya sea en la entrega amorosa, en la idolatría, o en la sumisión a un artífice traicionero? Siete cuentos de humor negro relatan ese apocalipsis íntimo desde el ojo de la tormenta. Con una voz narrativa que va de la empatía a la ironía, de la sátira a la tesitura sentimental del bolero, Enrique Serna cuenta la cruel anagnórisis de un yonqui francés, el amargo crepúsculo de un donjuán provinciano, la disputa de una pareja mal avenida por el cariño de su adorable mascota, la zozobra de un apóstol de la enseñanza enamorado de su mejor alumna, la devoción patológica de una empleadilla unida en espíritu a una diva de Hollywood, las angustias de un ombusdman trastornado por una inyección de autoestima erótica y el colapso de una abuela en brama cuando invade su lecho la polarización política del país. La comedia de las pasiones narrada por un encantador de serpientes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The seriocomic stories gathered in this book have a common denominator: the irruption of an overwhelming desire in the lives of vulnerable men and women who are either reborn or crumble under the weight of the ghosts haunting them. As their ghosts take over, they are transformed, either surrendering to love, or yielding to treachery. Seven dark humor tales look at different intimate apocalypses. With narrative voices ranging from empathy to irony, from satire to a bolero-like sentimental texture, Enrique Serna describes the cruel self-recognition trip of a French junkie, the bitter twilight of a provincial Don Juan, the struggles of a couple fighting for the affection of their adorable pet, the anxieties of a teacher who falls in love with his best student, the pathological devotion of a simple employee who feels united in spirit with a Hollywood diva, the anguish of an ombudsman who gets an unusual shot of erotic self-esteem, and the emotional crumbling of an old lady when the political polarization of her country makes its way to her bed. This book is a collection of seriocomical tales, as told by a snake charmer.

After trading his desire to write for a life as a secret policeman, former crime reporter Evaristo Reyes finds himself immersed in the thuggish mire of Mexico’s law enforcement. He justifies the sacrifice of his artistic integrity as a necessary evil aimed at creative research—all the while enjoying the salary and perks of his squalid position. When his brutish boss orders him to kill a marginal literary critic who has insulted the president in print, he identifies with the scribe instead, and is soon incriminated for a murder he fails to commit. This narrative eloquently depicts the difficulties of having a social conscience in a world where corruption, censorship, and back-stabbing are a way of life.

An enchanting, audacious retelling of the Cleopatra story from a Mexican novelist who is “a luminous writer” and “a masterful spinner of the fantastic” (The Miami Herald). In Cleopatra Dismounts, Carmen Boullosa has written a remarkable imaginary life of one of history’s most legendary women. Dying in Marc Antony’s arms, Cleopatra bewails the end of her political career throughout ancient Egypt, Greece, and the Mediterranean. But is this weak woman the true Cleopatra? Through the intervention of Cleopatra’s scribe and informer Diomedes, Boullosa creates two deliriously wild other lives for the young monarch—a girl escaping the intrigues of royal society to disguise herself and take up residence with a band of pirates; and the young queen who is carried across the sea on the back of a magical bull, to live among the Amazons. Magical, multifaceted, and rippling with luminous imagination, Cleopatra Dismounts confirms Carmen Boullosa as an important international voice. “Wildly entertaining.” —The Washington Post “A highly appealing and poetic interpretation of the Egyptian queen’s doomed fate.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The Mexican fabulist Carmen Boullosa reinvents Cleopatra as a character for modern feminism to conjure with.” —The Boston Globe

From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed screenwriter of Amores perros, 21 Grams, and Babel, A Sweet Scent of Death is Guillermo Arriaga's tale of deception, passion, and violence fused together by the tragic killing of a young girl in a small Mexican village. Early one morning in a deserted field, Ramón Castaños is confronted with the dead body of Adela, a lovely young girl, whom he had only admired from afar. Within an hour, rumor of the death of Ramón Castaños's girlfriend has spread to every corner of Loma Grande. This powder-trail of gossip ignites further violence when the villagers, thirsty for revenge, cast about for answers and hit upon the nomadic José Echeverri-Berriozábal, known as "the Gypsy." Honor then demands that Ramón must now live out his imaginary past in a brutal reality and prove his manhood by avenging Adela's cruel fate. Guillermo Arriaga is the author of The Night Buffalo and The Guillotine Squad. He has worked in television, radio, and film. Arriaga is the award-winning screenwriter of Amores perros, 21 Grams, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and Babel.

This is a dystopian social science fiction novel and morality tale. The novel is set in the year 1984, a fictional future in which most of the world has been destroyed by unending war, constant government monitoring, historical revisionism, and propaganda. The totalitarian superstate Oceania, ruled by the Party and known as Airstrip One, now includes Great Britain as a province. The Party uses the Thought Police to repress individuality and critical thought. Big Brother, the tyrannical ruler of Oceania, enjoys a strong personality cult that was created by the party's overzealous brainwashing methods. Winston Smith, the main character, is a hard-working and skilled member of the Ministry of Truth's Outer Party who secretly despises the Party and harbors rebellious fantasies.

Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
