BOHEMIOS DE VILLA CRESPO, LOS (EBOOK)
by Raanan ReinEsta es la historia de un club de fútbol, de una pasión, de un barrio y de la comunidad judía de Buenos Aires. Es la historia del Club Atlético Atlanta. Raanan Rein se concentra en los orígenes de Atlanta, de sus hinchas y de Villa Crespo como una forma de explorar la integración social de inmigrantes semitas y de sus descendientes en la vida urbana porteña. Para la primera generación de estos inmigrantes, la pertenencia al club fue una forma de convertirse en argentinos. Para la siguiente, ya nacida en el país y dispuesta a agregar un fuerte componente nacional al mosaico de su identidad, se trató, además, de una forma de mantener una etnicidad judía; mientras que para la tercera generación esta pertenencia se transformó en tradición familiar. Lo que prueba, entre otras cosas, que el fútbol ha ofrecido y sigue ofreciendo un escenario privilegiado en el cual distintos grupos sociales pueden, a la vez, afirmarse en sus diferencias pero también integrarse a un colectivo mayor, en este caso, la Nación.
BRAT: A Ghost Story
by Gabriel Smith&“Gabriel Smith has written a truly unique and surprising book. He is the rarest thing: a distinctive stylist on the line and structure level. Brat is so strange and so funny. I laughed a lot while reading.&” Rachel Connolly, author of Lazy City 'Iconic', Radio 1 'i've never heard of you. good luck with your book tho !' Charli XCX on X, formerly TwitterI was in the waiting room. Then I was in the examination room. Gabriel&’s skin is falling off. His dad is dead. He owes his editor a novel. His girlfriend won&’t answer his calls. Tasked by his horribly well-adjusted brother with clearing out the family home for sale, Gabriel&’s sanity quickly begins to unravel. His parents&’ old manuscripts appear to change each time he reads them. A bizarre home video hints at long-buried secrets. And there&’s a hideous man in the garden. Disquieting and hilarious, taut yet lyrical, blisteringly-paced but formally inventive, Brat is a mediation on grief, art and love that will leave you altered, breathless and desperate for more. From a stunningly original new talent, this is a debut novel unlike anything you have read before. &“Messy with glitched realities and body horror, Brat breathes the same thrillingly claustrophobic air as Inland Empire and Ubik. It&’s a skin-shedding ouroboros of grief and laughter, and the most brain-melting British debut I&’ve read in ages.&” Ed Park, author of Same Bed Different Dreams &“Gabriel Smith&’s prose is like if Joan Didion and Shirley Jackson took Xanax and used the internet. Brat is a sharp, eerie, confident debut about grief, memory, art, and so much more. Smith is a major new talent.&” Jordan Castro, author of The Novelist &“Gabriel Smith&’s jauntily creepy and hilarious tale of a grief-stalked scapegrace&’s sloughing-off and regeneration of selves in the filial murk of a moldering homestead is a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man for a new, quaking generation. Brat will unnerve and seduce you.&” Garielle Lutz, author of Worsted

Babies Don't Make Small Talk (So Why Should I?) (So Why Should I?) (So Why Should I?) (So Why Should I?): The Introvert's Guide to Surviving Parenthood: The Introvert's Guide To Surviving Parenthood
by Julie VickA baby can be a good excuse to skip a party, but . . . goodbye alone time, hello awkward new social obligations. All parents want the same things: to balance work and home life, to raise happy kids, to never attend a baby drumming class, and to build a secret room in their home where they can hide (preferably not the bathroom). Yes, an introverted parent would more keenly want to be free of the slew of attention and expectations that accompany both pregnancy and parenthood, but even the most outgoing person is sure to reach their limit eventually. Here, with laugh-out-loud humor and well-earned experience, Julie Vick offers coping mechanisms for everything from sharing the news that you are becoming a parent to the moment the baby is born (one way or another, it will happen), from managing doctor’s visits to handling playdates. She offers advice on finding childcare and ignoring the nursing versus formula conversation with strangers. Witty yet valuable, her tips, checklists, and the occasional chart focus on the time from pregnancy through preschool.

Babies of Technology: Assisted Reproduction and the Rights of the Child
by Mary Ann Mason Tom EkmanMillions of children have been born in the United States with the help of cutting-edge reproductive technologies, much to the delight of their parents. But alarmingly, scarce attention has been paid to the lax regulations that have made the U.S. a major fertility tourism destination. And without clear protections, the unique rights and needs of the children of assisted reproduction are often ignored. This book is the first to consider the voice of the child in discussions about regulating the fertility industry. The controversies are many. Donor anonymity is preventing millions of children from knowing their genetic origins. Fertility clinics are marketing genetically enhanced babies. Career women are saving their eggs for later in life. And Third World women are renting their wombs to the rich. Meanwhile, the unregulated fertility market charges forward as a multi-billion-dollar industry. This deeply-considered book offers answers to the urgent question: Who will protect our babies of technology?
