En un pueblo deshabitado y casi borrado del mapa, un hombre elige quedarse en las afueras: vive en una casa rodante, planta árboles y escucha los ecos de un pasado que no se resigna a desaparecer. Desde alli entre casas vacias, recuerdos familiares, filmaciones antiguas y voces que parecen surgir de otros tiempos reconstruye en fragmentos la geografia intima de su duelo y la memoria de un espacio cuyos lazos persisten mas alla del abandono.Con un tono que oscila entre lo espectral y lo poetico, la novela explora los confines del lenguaje y la memoria. Al mezclar español con guarani, portugues y otras resonancias, Aldaz convierte la lengua en un territorio vivo. Una obra de ritmo singular y sensibilidad intensa, que transforma la herida y la memoria quebrada en impulso narrativo y gesto de resistencia.

A child is born with an insatiable hunger. As a ravenous infant she is the undoing of her mother; under her fathers adoring gaze, her body grows and grows. Her father claims she devoured her twin sister in the womb. Her classmates delight in tormenting her for her size. And inside this girl, so alone and so enraged, another hunger is born-for revenge.Bizarrely poetic and grotesquely humorous, All Flesh is a twisted fairy tale that tears apart hypocrisies around beauty, gender and a culture that relentlessly consumes the marginalized.

A friendship is a filiation we choose. It holds love and laughter; it can extend our sense of the possible. Moved to honour a form of relation often subordinated to romantic and familial ties, and to explore a part of her own history, Helene Giannecchini pieces together an alternative genealogy of queer ancestors. In searching and sensitive prose, she sifts the past to bring existences deemed marginal into communion with each other, traces of which may remain only in memory and archival fragments. Roving from Casa Susanna, a space of freedom from persecution in McCarthyite North America, to the diary of a man living with HIV in France, and to the life and work of pioneering lesbian photographer Donna Gottschalk, each narrative counters oblivion through loving acts of witness. A slantwise gathering of queer life and activism in the twentieth century, interspersed with images encountered by chance, An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail establishes friendship as a vital political force and offers a moving testament to its liberatory power.

Kalyani Thakurs evocative novel tells the story of her people, Dalits of the Matua sect, who settled around a local water body Andhar Bil in a newly formed country. This new bil, reminiscent of the one left behind, becomes a place for the refugees to slowly, painfully, rebuild their lives.Children play in and around the bil, the novels central character, while people catch fish and cook them in ways that recall the flavours of home. Festivals and boat races unfold, jute is harvested and sold, floods push people to higher ground, marriages are arranged, and property disputes arise. The still waters of the bil hold all these stories, while the boroi tree stands in the centre, a silent witness to everything.Woven through this episodic, plotless narrative is the story of Kamalini, a young girl who, one day, will leave her beloved Andhar Bil behind for the city just as her parents generation left their villages and their cherished bil for a new land.
