Inc., Skeeve is in charge of a myth-chievous gang that includes a pet dragon and an artistic vampire.

MARTINEZ ESTRADA UNA REBELION...(EBOOK)
by Juan Jose SebreliJuan José Sebreli retrata al autor de Muerte y transfiguración de Martín Fierro y Radiografía de la pampa de un modo definitivo y aun con una perspectiva escasamente suficiente: Martínez Estrada es el solitario, el romántico, el profeta, con el repertorio de blasfemias y el pesimismo como una especie de incurable mal humor. Las sucesivas ediciones de este libro se han modificado por el cambio de perspectiva, por el paso de los años #a los que se refiere el autor en los distintos prólogos hasta alcanzar, en el último, una teoría#, pero el escritor y su volumen permanecen sin alteraciones: ese primer Sebreli pudo cincelar una figura indiferente a las interpretaciones del futuro.

Mac's Problem
by Enrique Vila-MatasEnrique Vila-Matas’s new novel is perhaps his greatest: “playful and funny and among the best Spanish novelists” (Colm Tóibín) Mac is currently unemployed and lives on his wife’s earnings from her furniture restoration business. An avid reader, he decides at the age of sixty to keep a diary. Mac’s wife, Carmen, a dyslexic born of dyslexic parents, thinks he is simply wasting his time and risking sliding further into depression—but Mac persists, and is determined that this diary will not turn into a novel. However, one day, he has a chance encounter with a near neighbor, a highly successful author who once wrote a collection of enigmatic, willfully obscure stories. Mac decides that, while he will not write his own stories, he will read, revise, and improve his neighbor’s, which are mostly narrated by a ventriloquist who has lost the ability to speak in different voices. As Mac embarks on this task, he finds that the stories have a strange way of imitating life. Or is life imitating the stories? As the novel progresses, Mac becomes stranger and more adrift from reality, and both he and we become ever more immersed in literature: a literature haunted by death, but alive with the sheer pleasure of writing.

MacDoodle St.
by Mark Alan StamatyA collection of legendary absurdist comic strips about life in 1970s New York City, now available in print for the first time in over thirty years.Every week, from 1978 to 1980, The Village Voice brought a new installment of Mark Alan Stamaty's uproarious, endlessly inventive strip MacDoodle St. Centering more or less on Malcolm Frazzle, a blocked poet struggling to complete his latest lyric for Dishwasher Monthly, Stamaty's creation encompassed a dizzying array of characters, stories, jokes, and digressions. One week might feature the ongoing battle between irate businessmen and bearded beatniks for control of a Greenwich Village coffee shop, the next might reveal a dastardly plot involving a genetically engineered dishwashing monkey, or the frustrated dreams of an irascible, over-caffeinated painter, or the mysterious visions of a duffle-coated soothsayer on the bus. Not to mention the variable moods and longings of the comic strip itself.... And somehow, in the end, it all fits together. MacDoodle St. is more than just a hilarious weekly strip; it is a great comic novel, a thrilling, surprising, unexpectedly moving ode to art, life, and New York City. This new edition features a brand-new, twenty-page autobiographical comic by Stamaty explaining what happened next and why MacDoodle St. never returned, in a unique, funny, and poignant look at the struggles and joys of being an artist.

Macdeath (An Ivy Meadows Mystery #1)
by Cindy BrownAn actress encounters murder most foul: “This gut-splitting mystery is a hilarious riff on an avant-garde production of ‘the Scottish play’” (Mystery Scene Magazine). Like anyone else in the acting profession, Ivy Meadows knows that Macbeth is cursed. But she’s finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of the play in Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasm—not her flying cauldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director. But when one of the cast dies on opening night, Ivy is sure the seeming accident is “murder most foul” and that she’s the perfect person to solve the crime (after all, she does work part-time in her uncle’s detective agency). Undeterred by a poisoned Big Gulp, the threat of being blackballed, and the suddenly too-real curse, Ivy pursues the truth at the risk of her hard-won career—and her life. “Who cannot have fun with a disastrous (and murderous) production of Macbeth? Cindy Brown’s first novel is a delicious romp with plenty of humor and suspense . . . A fun heroine.” —Rhys Bowen, New York Times–bestselling author of the Molly Murphy Mysteries “Funny and unexpectedly poignant, Macdeath is that rarest of creatures: a mystery that will make you laugh out loud. I loved it!” —April Henry, New York Times–bestselling author

Macedonia: What Does It Take to Stop a War?
by Harvey Pekar Heather Roberson“Pekar has proven that comics can address the ambiguities of daily living, that like the finest fiction, they can hold a mirror up to life.”–The New York TimesFor years Heather Roberson, a passionate peace activist, has argued that war can always be avoided. But she has repeatedly faced counterarguments that fighting is an inescapable consequence of world conflicts. Indeed, Heather finds proving her point to be a little tricky without examples to bolster her case. So she does something a little crazy: She sets out for far-off Macedonia, a landlocked country north of Greece and west of Bulgaria, to explore a region that has edged–repeatedly–close to the brink of violence, only to refrain. In the process–and as vividly portrayed by the talented duo of Harvey Pekar and Ed Piskor–Heather is tangled in red tape, ripped off by cabdrivers and hotel clerks, hit on by creepy guys, secretly photographed, and mistaken for a spy. She also creates unlikely friendships, learns that getting lost means seeing something new, and makes some startling discoveries. War is hell and peace is difficult–but conflict is always necessary. “Harvey Pekar wrestles the kind of things most comic book heroes wouldn’t touch with a laser blaster.”–Cleveland Plain Dealer“A visit with Harvey Pekar . . . will cause you to reexamine your own life . . . just as the greatest literature will.”–The Austin Chronicle“Pekar lets all of life flood into his panels: the humdrum and the heroic, the gritty and the grand.”–The New York Times Book Review
