De paso por lo que no acaba
De paso por lo que no acaba, más que un libro, es una bitácora de un viaje extraordinario: la vida cotidiana. Si la vida —vivible, valga la distinción— fuera un lienzo, éste no sería blanco ni negro, sino gris. El ser humano busca, a toda costa, habitar en este espacio libre de cimas y abismos. A su pesar, no siempre lo logra. Mas nadie debe privarse, en dosis adecuadas, del fuego primigenio. De paso por lo que no acaba brinda, a través de algo que su autor define como «haikús de métrica mexicanizada», las pinceladas que colorean e incluso incendian el lienzo del día a día.
The Cage of Melancholy
"A wonderful and timely book. . . . Bartra brilliantly dissects the idea of 'being Mexican' upheld and imposed by the dominant forces in Mexico. But by extension, he asks readers everywhere if they recognize themselves in the national character proposed by the political elites of the U.S., France, U.S.S.R., or Nigeria. Bartra invites us all to step out of self-consciousness, take a good look at the metaphysics of 'national character' and then decide if they are true to you or to me. . . . A more relevant cultural exercise can not be proposed at this time."ÐÐCarlos FuentesIn The Cage of Melancholy, Roger Bartra explores the myth of the Mexican national character, and how this myth has been ...

The Choice
A New York Times Bestseller “I’ll be forever changed by Dr. Eger’s story…The Choice is a reminder of what courage looks like in the worst of times and that we all have the ability to pay attention to what we’ve lost, or to pay attention to what we still have.”—Oprah “Dr. Eger’s life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well.” —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate “Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transf...

Joe Gould's Secret
The story of a notorious New York eccentric and the journalist who chronicled his life: “A little masterpiece of observation and storytelling” (Ian McEwan). Joseph Mitchell was a cornerstone of the New Yorker staff for decades, but his prolific career was shattered by an extraordinary case of writer’s block. For the final thirty-two years of his life, Mitchell published nothing. And the key to his silence may lie in his last major work: the biography of a supposed Harvard grad turned Greenwich Village tramp named Joe Gould. Gould was, in Mitchell’s words, “an odd and penniless and unemployable little man who came to this city in 1916 and ducked and dodged and held on as hard as he ...
