Hardback. Zustand: Good. Malayerba is one of the most violent books of recent times, as well as one of the most interesting, necessary, and extraordinary. It is a fragmented chronicle of the violence of drug trafficking in northern Mexico and how it appears reflected in everyday life and language in the area. This book marks Javier Valdés Cárdenas's definitive entrance into the genre in Mexico. 'Malayerba' es uno de los libros más violentos que se han publicado en los últimos años, y también de los más interesantes, precisos, extraordinarios. Es la crónica, necesariamente fragmentaria, de la violencia del narcotráfico en el norte de México, o más bien de la experiencia de ese acaecer violento tal como se manifiesta cotidianamente en aquella zona del país: la vivencia de los niños, de los empleados y empleadas, de los ciudadanos de a pie; de los narcos incipientes y los pesados. Y es también un poderoso registro sonoro de la infiltración de esa experiencia terrible en la lengua de todos los días, en el habla de la calle. Con este libro, Javier Valdés Cárdenas entra de manera definitiva en la historia de la crónica en México, y lo hace por la puerta grande.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Monumental, funny, potent, and fresh' Carlos Fonseca, author of Natural History Antonio is living a double life and doing a pretty good job of it. By day he's Antonio, mild-mannered database analyst, recent divorce and father of two. In private, however, he spends hours on seedy pick-up websites or combing fiction and film for the solutions to his problems. And then, Antonio's sister goes missing. Her disappearance forces Antonio to confront not only his own troubled past, but his mother's decision to leave Colombia with two young children in tow, his ex-wife's obsessive, unhappy relationship with her homeland and, ultimately, the reason for his sister's despair. Propulsive and freewheeling, bold and hilarious, Mauro Javier Cardenas' second novel is a daring examination of identity in a world that seems determined to fragment us. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Torrential and dreamlike, Mauro Javier Cárdenas? novel unfurls into a layered, poignant, and unflinching portrait of how family separations have impacted the minds of Latin American deportees in a technology-bound 21st century. American Abductions opens in a near-future United States whose omnipresence of data-harvesting and algorithms has enabled the mass incarceration and deportation of Latin Americans?regardless of citizenship. After their father is abducted by immigration officials before their eyes and deported to Colombia, Ada and her sister Eva are left to contend with a United States as all-seeing as it is hostile. Now adults, Ada remains in San Francisco while Eva has joined their father in Colombia, tending him in his ailing health. When his condition worsens, Eva asks Ada to come see them: a nearly impossible feat, given the United States? restrictions on Latin Americans? movements. Ada, terribly alone, must come to terms with the violence of American society and the grief of lost community. Exploring the role of technology, mass society, and American expectations on how Latin American deportees should tell their stories, the novel delves into the ties, memories, and lines of code binding communities together. Mauro Javier Cárdenas has been lauded as one of the most promising Latin American authors, and in American Abductions, his deconstruction of American society and the surveillance state proves his generation-defining acuity and storytelling. The book?s polyphony of mysticism, technology, and philosophy calls to mind the perceptive dystopian visions of Philip K. Dick and the visionary stylistic fluidity of Samuel Delany. The result is a sharp and metaphysical narrative, a masterwork examining the place of Latin Americans in a United States that is always changing.…
