76
by Felix Bruzzone¿Cómo es crecer siendo hijo de militantes desaparecidos? Escenas sueltas. De un verano en la costa con amigos y abuelas. Trazos. Del esfuerzo por hacer andar un camión como el que el padre usó para escapar junto con un grupo del ERP del asalto a un comando militar. Eso que del recuerdo llega. Otra charla más con alguien que conoció a mamá antes de que desapareciera. Cruces furtivos. Encuentros en la facultad o en la calle en los que tarde o temprano surge la pérdida de los padres. Sueños. La pesadilla de que alguien acecha o las medusas que se pueden interpretar en las reuniones de HIJOS. Relatos. "Fue como acostarse feliz después de regar las plantas y despertarse en medio de una inundación", escribe Félix Bruzzone. Una agenda vieja grita en un apellido la palabra exterminio. Y el futuro emite señales de lectura del pasado. Porque esta particular orfandad no puede cerrarse con un solo hilo, porque el pasado es fragmentario y el gran relato es a fin de cuentas una recopilación minuciosa de detalles. Por eso los cuentos de 76 son el libro-hito de las narrativas de los hijos-de. La crítica ha dicho... «Si puede usarse el verbo "irrumpir" para hablar de Bruzzone es porque rompe una tradición e inaugura otra.»Gabriela Cabezón Cámara «¿La gran novela de los hijos de la dictadura? Sigan llegando tarde. El libro ya lo escribió Félix Bruzzone. Se llama 76 y es de cuentos.»Edmundo Paz Soldán «El narrador de 76, como si fuese un síntoma de sus mayores, no sabe y sabe, se olvida, no recuerda. Pero a diferencia de ellos -tal vez a diferencia también de sus otros mayores que intentaron la dictadura como tópico narrativo- su mirada puede encontrar algo nuevo que decir porque sabe que el mayor terror "no era la proximidad sino la distancia": no elude, tampoco reivindica ni condena, sino que horada como con un instrumento cortante la presencia ineludible de la desaparición, y le da entidad narrativa a una búsqueda identitaria que traspasa toda historia personal para convertirse en literatura.»Ana Wajszczuk, Inrocks

77 Shadow Street: A Novel (Pendleton #1)
by Dean KoontzI am the One, the all and the only. I live in the Pendleton as surely as I live everywhere. I am the Pendleton's history and its destiny. The building is my place of conception, my monument, my killing ground. . . . The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill at the highest point of an old heartland city, a Gilded Age palace built in the late 1800s as a tycoon's dream home. Almost from the beginning, its grandeur has been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide, mass murder, and whispers of things far worse. But since its rechristening in the 1970s as a luxury apartment building, the Pendleton has been at peace. For its fortunate residents--among them a successful songwriter and her young son, a disgraced ex-senator, a widowed attorney, and a driven money manager--the Pendleton's magnificent quarters are a sanctuary, its dark past all but forgotten. But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into unknown depths. With each passing hour, a terrifying certainty grows: Whatever drove the Pendleton's past occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again. Soon, all those within its boundaries will be engulfed by a dark tide from which few have escaped. Dean Koontz transcends all expectations as he takes readers on a gripping journey to a place where nightmare visions become real--and where a group of singular individuals hold the key to humanity's destiny. Welcome to 77 Shadow Street.
