Thrown in the Throat
by Benjamin Garcia&“An unabashed celebration of complexity in queerness and gender, an arresting snapshot of survival and a triumphant reclamation of language.&” —Shelf Awareness (starred review) &“Tongues make mistakes / and mistakes / make languages.&” And Benjamin Garcia makes a stunning debut with Thrown in the Throat. In a sex-positive incantation that retextures what it is to write a queer life amidst troubled times, Garcia writes boldly of citizenship, family, and Adam Rippon&’s butt. Detailing a childhood spent undocumented, one speaker recalls nights when &“because we cannot sleep / we dream with open eyes.&” Garcia delves with both English and Spanish into how one survives a country&’s long love affair with anti-immigrant cruelty. Rendering a family working to the very end to hold each other, he writes the kind of family you both survive and survive with. With language that arrives equal parts regal and raucous, Thrown in the Throat shines brilliant with sweat and an iridescent voice. &“Sometimes even a diamond was once alive&” writes Garcia in a collection that National Poetry Series judge Kazim Ali says &“has deadly superpowers.&” And indeed these poems arrive to our hands through touch-me-nots and the slight cruelty of mothers, through closets both real and metaphorical. These are poems complex, unabashed, and needed as survival. Garcia&’s debut is nothing less than exactly the ode our history and present and our future call for: brash and unmistakably alive. &“Angry, tender, and resounding with the speech of flowers, birds, and diamonds, every syllable carries a glorious charge.&” —The Boston Globe, &“Best Books of 2020&” &“Electrifying . . . explores unrepentant sexual desire, interrogates fraught familial relationships, and examines our troubled cultural moment.&” —Lambda Literary

Tiefe Wolken
by Núria AñóGabriele ist eine Schauspielerin, die, als das Ende ihrer Karriere naht, wieder die Stadt aufsucht, in der sie ihre Jugend verbracht hat. Ihr unerwarteter Besuch trifft zwei ihrer alten Freundinnen unvorbereitet, sie betrachten ihn als eine Art Flucht aus ihren grauen, eintönigen Tagen. Die Schauspielerin selbst kann anhand ihrer Leben auf jenes schließen, das sie selbst erwartet hätte. Auf der anderen Seite war ihr der Ruhm vierzig Jahre lang eine Last, und nur eines ist offensichtlich: Die Reise hat alte Leidenschaften wiedererweckt und das Leben aller verändert, die Gabriele wiedergesehen hat. “Was uns Núria Añó in ihrem Buch beschreibt, ist ein Stück wirkliches Leben, das sie mit dem feinen Skalpell ihrer Erzählung seziert. In dem Werk steckt eine große Arbeit hinsichtlich Sprache und Stil. Die Novelle ist nicht einfach, weder thematisch, noch stilistisch, aber sehr interessant. Sie stellt meiner Meinung nach eines der großen Versprechen der zeitgenössischen, katalanischen Prosa dar.” –L'Ull crític, Nr. 15-16
