Opera in the Tropics
Opera in the Tropics is an engaging exploration of theater with music in Brazil from the mid 1500s to the early 1820s. Author Rogério Budasz delves into the practices of the actors, singers, poets, and composers who created and performed Jesuit moral plays, Spanish comedias, and Portuguese vernacular operas and entremezes during the colonial period, as well as the Italian operas that celebrated the new independent nation in 1822. A Brazilian producer claimed in 1825 that the goal of music-theater was to instruct, entertain, and distract the population. Budasz argues that this threefold goal had in fact been present throughout the colonial period, in different combinations and with different...
Vapor
Gracia, gorda más allá de la descripción, de rostro hermoso y carnes bamboleantes, se desplaza de un lado al otro de un club deportivo, ajena a lo que sucede a su alrededor. Gracia sigue una apasionada rutina consigo misma dentro del baño de vapor: ahí reconstruye escenas leídas en novelitas románticas de pésima calidad y hace que los objetos del baño se conviertan en los amantes de sus lecturas. Dentro del vapor nada le falta, nada necesita. Pero un día un hombre obsesionado por el orden y la limpieza la observa, desnuda y gloriosa, a través de un orificio escondido. A partir de entonces la vida del señor Calderón dará un giro radical, mientras el pequeño universo del club deportivo hierve: las buenas conciencias se alteran, los parámetros estéticos se modifican, el sexo se convierte en el punto de partida para revoluciones insospechadas.
Juliet
A sweeping novel of intrigue and identity, of love and legacy, as a young woman discovers that her own fate is irrevocably tied—for better or worse—to literature’s greatest star-crossed lovers.

But the shock goes even deeper when she learns that the woman who has been like a mother to her has left her entire estate to Julie’s twin sister.

The Mexico City Reader
Mexico City is one of Latin America’s cultural capitals, and one of the most vibrant urban spaces in the world. The Mexico City Reader is an anthology of "Cronicas"—short, hybrid texts that are part literary essay, part urban reportage—about life in the capital. This is not the "City of Palaces" of yesteryear, but the vibrant, chaotic, anarchic urban space of the1980s and 1990s—the city of garbage mafias, necrophiliac artists, and kitschy millionaires. Like the visitor wandering through the city streets, the reader will be constantly surprised by the visions encountered in this mosaic of writings—a textual space brimming with life and crowded with flâneurs, flirtatious students, I...
Cuando escuches el trueno
"Cuando escuches el trueno es una novela sobre las posibilidades de la pérdida, sobre el cuerpo como un minucioso campo de batalla. Sobre la sumisión, la violencia y las muchas caras del amor y el desamor. Sobre el peso de la propia historia. En ella, Julieta García González explora los hondos resortes del deseo y la voluntad y del poder que tienen para impulsarnos o precipitarnos"--Page 4 of cover.
