Book Description
Yaleska Velásquez nos regala en esta obra tres cuentos que mezclan la realidad con la ilusión, la fantasía. Hadas y unicornios representan a la perfección esta suma de partes que nos devuelve una serie de historias donde la trama, con una base verosímil, a veces cerca de la novela policial, se mezcla con el folclore, devolviendo una suerte de realismo mágico evolucionado que nos transporta un punto más allá de la realidad. Si bien los cuentos comienzan cimentando sus bases alrededor de una realidad cruda, en todos ellos existe un toque mágico que resulta esencial para el desarrollo de la historia. Yaleska no duda en mezclar ambas vertientes y es capaz de transportar al lector justo donde desea: al corazón. El corazón que ha crecido con cuentos mágicos y fantásticos para huir de, precisamente, esa cruda realidad. De hadas, unicornios y un cisne en las estrellas es, así, un viaje hacia el corazón de su autora, de donde no querremos salir, pues viviremos unas aventuras que nos hechizarán para siempre.

The Naked Woman
Author: Armonía Somers
Publisher: Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 193693244X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A woman’s feminist awakening drives a hypocritical village to madness in rural Uruguay in this "wild, brutal paean to freedom" (NPR.org). Shortlisted for the National Translation Award "Somers' feminism is profound, and complicated." —NPR.org “A surreal, nightmarish book about women’s struggle for autonomy—and how that struggle is (always, inevitably) met with violence.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties When The Naked Woman was originally published in 1950, critics doubted a woman writer could be responsible for its shocking erotic content. In this searing critique of Enlightenment values, fantastic themes are juxtaposed with brutal depictions of misogyny and violence, and frantically build to a fiery conclusion. Finally available to an English-speaking audience, Armonía Somers will resonate with readers of Clarice Lispector, Djuna Barnes, and Leonora Carrington.

Movie Wars
Author: Jonathan Rosenbaum
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1556529937
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Is the cinema, as writers from David Denby to Susan Sontag have claimed, really dead? Contrary to what we have been led to believe, films are better than ever—we just can't see the good ones. Movie Wars cogently explains how movies are packaged, distributed, and promoted, and how, at every stage of the process, the potential moviegoer is treated with contempt. Using examples ranging from the New York Times's coverage of the Cannes film festival to the anticommercial practices of Orson Welles, Movie Wars details the workings of the powerful forces that are in the process of ruining our precious cinematic culture and heritage, and the counterforces that have begun to fight back.
