Ansay o los infortunios de la gloria
by Martín CaparrósEn Ansay ó los infortunios de la gloria, Martín Caparrós nos cuenta las aventuras y desventuras de Faustino Ansay, los hechos y reflexiones que anota en sus memorias y que el autor crea especialmente. Publicada en el año 1984, Ansay ó los infortunios de la gloria aborda el proceso de independencia nacional iniciado en 1810 desde un punto de vista original: el de Faustino Ansay, un militar español que pasó por las cárceles de la Revolución de Mayo y lo contó en unas memorias que sirven de contrapunto al compendio de mitos, relatos y luchas que crearon la Argentina. Esas memorias se resignifican aquí junto a escritos de Mariano Moreno, las cartas sin respuesta de su esposa María Guadalupe Cuenca, los delirios de un conquistador que nunca fue y la intimidad de un narrador que comenta las dificultades de escribir una novela; un conjunto heterogéneo ensamblado mediante un registro preciso y precioso, heredero de nuestra mejor literatura. Críticas:«En Ansay quedan ya cifradas muchas de las pulsiones que en su narrativa posterior matizaría, ampliaría, reformularía; sin embargo, acaso la más relevante sea la voluntad de hallar un nuevo lenguaje para narrar la historia».Christian Snoey Abadías, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona«Martín Caparrós, uno de los más geniales cronistas contemporáneos, depura de manera exquisita, emocionada, vibrante y distanciada una prosa de un poderío narrativo excepcional».Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC Cultural «Su prosa y su mirada son un reactivo fuerte para almas sensibles o amigas de lo políticamente correcto».Leila Guerriero, El País«Caparrós provoca esa necesidad sonriente de subrayar, compartir en redes, reproducir sus trallazos».Nadal Suau, El Cultural «Caparrós es una manera de ver y entender el mundo».Carles Geli, Babelia «Es una obra rica y ambiciosa, una empresa arriesgada que debe ser conocida».Juan Goytisolo

Ansley's Big Bake Off (Faithgirlz / The Daniels Sisters)
by Kaitlyn Pitts Camryn Pitts Olivia PittsFrom the family that brought you the Lena in the Spotlight series and the popular For Girls Like You magazine comes the story of three young sisters who rebuild their lives and find joy in unexpected ways after their mother’s death. Ansley and her family move to a new city to seek a new start after the death of their mother. But that also means ... a new school, new friends, new everything! Fortunately, even though no one could ever take the place of their mom, Aunt Samantha has moved in to help Dad and all the girls. As they all settle into their “new normal,” Lena finds comfort in singing and songwriting. Ashton and Amber record videos documenting their lives and email them to their grandmothers. And Ansley pursues her own dream of becoming an Olympic gymnastics champ when she signs up with Grace and Power Gym. But she soon realizes that using her creativity to bake treats and share them with those she loves brings her as much (or even more) joy—especially since it brings back memories of precious afternoons she spent in the kitchen with her mom. So which dream should she follow? Ansley prays for guidance, and it seems her prayers are answered when she gets the opportunity to both perform as a gymnast and take part in The Big Bake Off at the Roland Lake Founders Day Fair. The Grand Prize is a trophy and a spot on the local morning show, Awake with The Lake! But her dreams of taking home the trophy and being on TV are threatened by her strongest competition: Taylor, a mean girl from her new school who not only teases Ansley and rejects her offers of friendship but comes from a family of professional bakers. Still, with the loving and prayerful support of her own family behind her, Ansley knows she has a real shot at winning. But with Taylor in the mix, will Ansley be able to rise to the occasion? Or will she just get burned? Ansley's Big Bake Off—an important addition to the Faithgirlz series: Features diverse characters, an engaging read for girls ages 8–12 as part of the Accelerated Reader (AR) program. Its a perfect birthday gift from parents and grandparents to tween girls, and is great for Spring Break and summer vacation reading.

Answered Prayers
by Danielle SteelDanielle Steel’s 56th bestselling novel is about family and friendship, about one woman’s struggle to break free from the past—and the man who helps her triumph. And most of all, it is about daring to believe in...Answered Prayers. On the outside, Faith Madison is the very picture of a sophisticated New Yorker. Slim, blond, stylish, Faith has a life many would envy. Overcoming a childhood marked by tragedy, married to a successful investment banker and having raised two grown daughters, Faith has enjoyed her role as mother and wife, and the good life that emanates from their bustling Manhattan town house. But every step of the way, Faith has carried within her a secret she could divulge to no one. And with it, she has kept an even more painful secret from herself. For Faith, it is the sudden death of her stepfather—a man who, like her husband, Alex, always remained just beyond her reach—that will touch off a journey of change and revelation. At the funeral, painful memories flood back—and an old friend reenters Faith’s life. Faith is greeting mourners, when she hears a voice behind her and a single word that brings a quick smile to her face: “Fred.” Only one person aside from her older brother, Jack, called her that. Brad Patterson was Jack’s best friend, a long, lanky boy who teased, tormented, and protected Faith when they fancied themselves “The Three Musketeers” as kids. When Jack died years later, Faith and Brad came together again in their common, inconsolable grief, then lost touch once more amid the demands of families and busy lives a continent apart. Now a lawyer in California, Brad has reentered Faith’s life just as she is making a decision that plunges her marriage into crisis. Determined to fulfill a long-held desire for a career of her own, Faith applies to law school against her husband’s wishes, igniting a barrage of anger and recrimination. Faith’s only solace is the correspondence she has begun with Brad, a man trapped in an empty marriage of his own, a friend she once lost and has found again. Soon e-mails are flying between them, bridging three thousand miles, sharing much-needed friendship, support, laughter. And as these two childhood friends rediscover each other, something extraordinary is beginning to happen. In the safety of their friendship, Brad will find the courage to make a decision he should have made years before. And Faith, too, is changing, beginning to believe in herself—and in her right to grab hold of her dreams. Gathering a strength she never knew she had, Faith is finally ready to face the most painful step of all: of sharing the secret that has long been haunting her, and truly opening up her heart for the first time in her life. With unerring insight into the hearts of husbands and wives, lovers and families, Danielle Steel tells a wise and moving story of the secrets that wound and the choices that heal—and of the second chances that come only once in a lifetime.From the Hardcover edition.

Antagonistic Cooperation: Jazz, Collage, Fiction, and the Shaping of African American Culture (Leonard Hastings Schoff Lectures)
by Robert O'MeallyRalph Ellison famously characterized ensemble jazz improvisation as “antagonistic cooperation.” Both collaborative and competitive, musicians play with and against one another to create art and community. In Antagonistic Cooperation, Robert G. O’Meally shows how this idea runs throughout twentieth-century African American culture to provide a new history of Black creativity and aesthetics.From the collages of Romare Bearden and paintings of Jean-Michel Basquiat to the fiction of Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison to the music of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, O’Meally explores how the worlds of African American jazz, art, and literature have informed one another. He argues that these artists drew on the improvisatory nature of jazz and the techniques of collage not as a way to depict a fractured or broken sense of Blackness but rather to see the Black self as beautifully layered and complex. They developed a shared set of methods and motives driven by the belief that art must involve a sense of community. O’Meally’s readings of these artists and their work emphasize how they have not only contributed to understanding of Black history and culture but also provided hope for fulfilling the broken promises of American democracy.
