MUJERES ASESINAS 3 (EBOOK)
by Marisa GrinsteinLes explicó que había matado a su esposo porque unas voces se lo habían ordenado. #La verdad es que no sé por qué lo maté. Ahora que lo pienso me daba lo mismo si él vivía o si no vivía. Pero pensé y pensé# Y cuando a uno le dan mucho tiempo para pensar, le sale lo peor, no?# #Cuando cerraron la puerta, Nilda se encontró sola, aturdida, pensando que tendría que matar a su marido pero que no sabía cómo. Mientras tanto, acomodó la freidora en el fuego y empezó a hacer las albóndigas.# #No estoy loca, mi única locura fue esperar tantos años. Pero no me arrepiento. Hice lo que tenía que hacer. Lo maté así porque yo quería que sufra, que tenga una muerte fea.# #Él se la buscó. Yo le avisé, pero él igual me siguió mintiendo. Y ojalá que otros hombres se enteren de lo que yo hice, para que vayan aprendiendo.# #Después que maté a mi marido me di cuenta de que había sido injusta. No podía matarlo y dejar a mi papá vivo. Al final, él que me hizo casar fue él. Me sacó del destino que me tocaba. Ahora, estamos todos a mano.# Catorce nuevos casos completan aquí la serie de Mujeres asesinas que, desde la crónica literaria y su posterior adaptación televisiva, se instaló con total naturalidad entre nosotros. Desplazando los temas políticos o económicos, conversaciones de hombres y mujeres en casa o en la oficina reflejan el efecto demoledor de este verdadero fenómeno, surgido de una premisa sencilla pero de difícil logro: contar buenas historias. Logro que Marisa Grinstein confirma magistralmente en esta entrega. Las mujeres asesinas de estos relatos son una herida, nos muestran el abismo doméstico de lo que somos y podemos ser. Sin dejar de ser victimarias, todas ellas son víctimas. Sin dejar de ser culpables, son de algún modo perturbadoramente inocentes. Jorge Fernández Díaz

MW
by Osamu TezukaA secret U.S. chemical weapon called "MW" accidentally leaks and wipes out the population of a southern Japanese island. Though Michio Yuki survives, he emerges from the ordeal without a trace of conscience. MW is manga-god Osamu Tezuka's controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism. MW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither drive nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully "anti-Tezuka" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius.

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.
