Donde no hago pie
by Belén López PeiróCrónica del duro proceso que sigue a la denuncia de un abuso familiar y que implica enfrentar los prejuicios de la sociedad y los obstáculos de la justicia. «Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas».Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio. Esa mañana invernal comienza para la narradora otro duro proceso: encontrar representación legal, entender las lógicas burocráticas de la Justicia, tejer redes de apoyo para afrontar la causa contra su tío, un comisario poderoso, y juntar coraje para reabrir un expediente que lleva al pasado familiar. Sin demagogias, Belén López Peiró revisa los contornos difusos de los recuerdos; ensaya respuestas al agobio de audiencias humillantes e indaga en los laberintos de los juicios por jurado. Donde no hago pie profundiza el proyecto literario de Por qué volvías cada verano, antecedente clave de miles de denuncias anónimas y otras de enorme repercusión mediática. Con un ritmo avasallante, esta crónica encuentra las palabras para transformar en acción política un delito que pretendía permanecer secreto. Sobre Por qué volvías cada verano, la crítica dijo: «Uno de los 18 mejores libros del año».Revista Rolling Stone «De una contundencia expresiva increíble».Mauro Libertella, La Agenda «Una de las autoras del año».Carolina Amoroso, TN «Uno de los textos más valientes y más crudos que apareció recientemente».Agustina Larrea, Infobae

Donde retumba el silencio: Premio Clarín Novela 2021
by Agustina CarideDos amigas de toda la vida, que compartieron muchos años los trabajos, los hijos, las vacaciones, las familias, se distancian de manera irreversible por diferencias políticas. Con casi ochenta años, Leonor sale a dar una vuelta por la ciudad silenciosa debido a la cuarentena obligada por el covid. Al regresar, ve el cartel de venta en el PH que está arriba del suyo, donde vive Elvira, una amiga entrañable con quien ya no se habla. Las disputas políticas han horadado la larga amistad que las había unido. Desde ese distanciamiento, Elvira y Leonor no pueden dejar de pensar la una en la otra y de recordar el momento en que se conocieron, en los años 70, en las casas colectivas del barrio Los Andes, y el modo como se fue tejiendo esa relación. De candente actualidad, Donde retumba el silencio es una elegía a la amistad, una novela que habla sutilmente de un presente atravesado por la "grieta" y de cómo la política y la historia se entreveran con la vida personal, la determinan, la modifican, al punto de hacernos perder lo que más queremos. Dijo el jurado del premio: «Donde retumba el silencio se incorpora a la sólida tradición de novelas de la intimidad, desarrolladas por escritoras como Virginia Woolf o Natalia Ginzburg.»Clara Obligado «Las vidas transcurren así como las cuenta Agustina Caride; no existen sino en su relación con los otros, los más cercanos, los conocidos y también con esos otros que, más allá, no se sabe, pero están.»Martín Kohan «Una novela que no lo dice todo [...], pensada y escrita para lectores, no para espectadores. Donde retumba el silencio es un libro donde todo retumba, no solo el silencio».Martín Caparrós

Donde termina la noche
by Isabel CañasLa novela gótica mexicana se aúna con la mejor tradición de Rebeca en esta novela de suspense sobrenatural, ambientada en una remota hacienda durante los años de la guerra de independencia mexicana. El padre de Beatriz murió injustamente ajusticiado por alta traición y su hogar fue destruido. Cuando el atractivo Rodolfo Solórzano pide su mano, Beatriz decide ignorar los rumores que envuelven la muerte de su primera mujer y acepta sin dudarlo, convencida de que la seguridad económica y la posibilidad de alejarse de la ciudad y viajar hasta su rica hacienda en el campo, le harán olvidar la tragedia que ha vivido su familia. Pero la hacienda de San Isidro no es exactamente el refugio que había imaginado y cuando Rodolfo regresa a la capital y la deja sola en esa mansión aislada, las visiones y las voces empiezan a envolver a Beatriz, su sueño, su espacio, su vida. ¿Qué ocurrió realmente con la primera señora Solórzano? ¿Por qué la hermana de Rodolfo, Juana, se ríe de los miedos de Beatriz pero actúa de una manera tan extraña por la noche? Lo único de lo que Beatriz está segura es de que algo ocurre en la hacienda de San Isidro y que solo ella puede salvarse. La crítica ha dicho:«Un relato gótico de amor condenado y de espíritus vengativos.»The Washington Post «Cañas conoce claramente el género y el resultado es una brillante contribución a esta nueva generación de narrativa gótica poscolonial. Los lectores no deben perdérsela.»Publishers Weekly «Exuberante, hermosa, se merece absolutamente que la comparen con Rebeca. Una lectura esencial en este renacer del género gótico.»CrimeReads «Si te gusta el género gótico y te apetece una heroína con más potencia y una historia con garra, Donde termina la noche es el libro que estabas buscando.»Mystery

Something about the crash isn't right, and Mark's father asks Avery to look into his death. Between that and digging up dirt on the wonder drug Uplift, Avery is coming up with more questions than answers. Of course, Avery isn't the only one making headlines.
