The hairs are always buried much deeper than you think.. Where the natural collides with the supernatural, these vivid stories situate us at the permeable border between fantastical and mundane. A teenage swimmer tries to remove an ingrown hair that takes on a life of its own. A town grapples with an uncontrollable growth of moss. A horror soundtrack haunts its composer. Testing the boundary between fantasy and reality, Oliver stretches the imagination to its limits in a collection which places the physical body, human connection and the truth at its centre. These tales navigate guilt, grief and explore the nature of victimhood. Olivers honest voice penetrates human truths while ghosting narratives with the uncanny. Journey to the outer limits of bodily awareness as characters dive deep to confront their truth.

En estos relatos, Gianni Biffi convierte a la tradición literaria y cultural peruana en un campo de juego tan disparatado como lúcido. Humberto Grieve reaparece como fantasma vengativo; César Vallejo batalla en una contienda de freestyle contra un rapero del Callao; Jorge Eduardo Eielson escribe a la NASA con una propuesta insolita. Entre guiños pop, mitos andinos y referencias cultas, Biffi compone un universo donde lo sagrado se cruza con lo cotidiano y lo solemne con lo absurdo. Su humor corrosivo desmonta jerarquias culturales y revela, entre carcajadas, los prejuicios de nuestra tradicion literaria. Celebrado por escritores como Ivan Thays, este libro confirma a Biffi como el escritor mas radicalmente "pop de la literatura peruana" contemporanea.

A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form, deft and humorous in its use of the Scots language, courageous in its characterisation and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie, one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset song, Gibbons finest achievement, the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons, the weddings, the funerals, the grind of work, the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll, machines repalce the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. The triology as a whole is a major achievment, a picture of society undergoing traumatic and far-reaching transformation. Always readable, never sentimental, A Scots Quair is one of the most important works of Scottish literature.

Publicado em 1934, S. Bernardo é o segundo romance de Graciliano Ramos e um dos pontos mais altos de sua obra. Narrado em primeira pessoa por Paulo Honório, o livro se apresenta como um relato de vida escrito ja na maturidade, quando o protagonista repassa sua trajetoria e tenta compreender seus erros. De origem pobre, Paulo Honorio ascendeu socialmente por meio da esperteza, do calculo e, sobretudo, da exploraço do trabalho alheio. Tornou-se dono da fazenda S. Bernardo, simbolo de seu triunfo economico e de seu desejo de poder. No entanto, o que poderia ser uma historia de sucesso e superaço revela-se um testemunho amargo. Paulo Honorio construiu tudo a base da violencia fisica, social e afetiva , e a fazenda cresceu ao mesmo tempo que a sua vida pessoal se tornou vazia. "Vencendo a vida, porem, ficou de certo modo vencido por ela: imprimindo-lhe a sua marca, ela o inabilitou para as aventuras da afetividade e do lazer", resume Antonio Candido em posfacio incluido nesta ediço. No centro da narrativa esta o casamento com Madalena, jovem professora idealista, cujo olhar sensivel e etico contrasta com a mentalidade pratica e dura de Paulo Honorio. Incapaz de compreender ou aceitar esse mundo alheio as suas preocupaçes materiais, ele oprime e sufoca a mulher, conduzindo-a a um desfecho tragico. Para alem da ascenso e derrocada de um homem, no entanto, o romance e uma reflexo sobre poder, afeto e fracasso, revelando os mecanismos de dominaço em uma sociedade ate hoje marcada visceralmente pela desigualdade. Com texto estabelecido a partir do cotejo de oito verses e notas editoriais que esclarecem variantes entre elas, esta nova ediço reafirma o cuidado da Coleço Graciliano Ramos na Todavia com o rigor textual, a renovaço critica e a permanencia literaria de uma obra-prima.
