Larga sinfonía en D
by Margarita DaltonEsta nueva edición de Larga sinfonía en D y había una vez... recupera un texto clave de la literatura contracultural mexicana que durante décadas fue injustamente olvidado. Más que una novela, en estas páginas se esconde una experiencia psicodélica. Tres amigos de paso por Londres deciden probar juntos el ácido lisérgico, una droga capaz de distorsionar el tejido de la realidad y abrir la mente a estados de conciencia alternativos. En el proceso discuten sus ideas sobre el futuro, las relaciones, el arte y un sinfín de temas que fluyen de sus mentes en un torrente imparable de asociaciones semánticas y lingüísticas. Durante las diez horas que dura esta experiencia metafísica, la novela juega con la materia y el sentido del texto de una forma que nos acerca a las visiones provocadas por la sustancia: no somos simples espectadores, sino partícipes de este viaje a lo profundo de la psique humana La critica dice: «Leer Larga Sinfonía en D y había una vez... hoy no es sólo un viaje en el tiempo a esa década paradigmática, en México y el mundo, que fueron los sesenta. Es también una clave, una guía y una invitación a volver a leer con los ojos abiertos, a mirarnos en los espejos de la pared y los espejos de los ojos ajenos.» -Iván Aguirre

Lark Ascending
by Silas HouseWinner of the Southern Book Prize for Fiction * Winner of a Nautilus Award (Gold)A timely, powerful story of survival set in the not-too-distant future that Margaret Renkl (Late Migrations) calls &“a beautiful book...shot through with such tenderness and humanity, such love and courage and beauty and hope, that it feels almost like a prayer.&” With fires devastating much of America, Lark and his family first leave their home in Maryland for Maine. But as the country increasingly falls under the grip of religious nationalism, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe, not just from physical disasters but also persecution. The family secures a place on a crowded boat headed to Ireland, the last place on earth rumored to be accepting American refugees. Upon arrival, it turns out that the safe harbor of Ireland no longer exists either—and Lark, the sole survivor of the trans-Atlantic voyage, must disappear into the countryside. As he runs for his life, Lark finds two equally lost and desperate souls: one of the last remaining dogs, who becomes his closest companion, and a fierce, mysterious woman in search of her lost son. Together they form a makeshift family and attempt to reach Glendalough, a place they believe will offer protection. But can any community provide the safety that they seek? Lark Ascending is a moving and unforgettable story of friendship and bravery, and even more, a story of the ongoing fight to protect our personal freedoms and find our shared humanity, from a writer at the peak of his powers.

by Nancy SpringerA middle-aged housewife whose rebellious inner child runs away with her talent transforms herself into a fearless young gay man in this winner of the James Tiptree Jr. Award. Larque Harootunian is having a midlife crisis like no other—but then again, there is much about the frumpy, middle-aged housewife and mother that could never be considered ordinary. Larque&’s lifelong ability to generate &“dopplegangers,&” for example—physical manifestations of her thoughts and emotions—has been a constant source of stress. And now she is being tormented by Skylark, a re-creation of her younger self, an angry inner child who is tormenting Larque about abandoning her youthful ambitions while running away with her artistic abilities, thereby depriving the older Larque of a livelihood as a painter of kitsch. But perhaps this is Larque&’s opportunity to explore her options. Acquiescing to Sky&’s demands that she change herself, Larque tries on a series of different personas—to the consternation of her mother, husband, and teenage sons—and finds her way to Popular Street. There, among the devil-may-care misfits, Larque can be Lark, a handsome young gay man, and quite possibly discover what her life is really about. In her critically acclaimed contemporary fantasy, multiple award–winning author Nancy Springer breaks through boundaries while provocatively comingling the real and the surreal. Larque on the Wing is a marvel—a moving, funny, surprising, and transcendent tale of one woman&’s strange quest to come to terms with who she truly is.

LAS REENCARNACIONES DE ANA BOLENA
by Nell Gavin Sandra Cifuentes DowlingCorre el año de 1536. Enrique y Ana están a merced de influencias que escapan a su control, han demostrado ser explosivamente incompatibles y se hallan atrapados en una historia que acabará en traición, tan feroz para Ana que requerirá de muchas vidas hasta lograr recuperarse. Enrique, aparentemente en defensa de Ana -aunque más bien por mera perversión, según la propia Ana observa-, aterroriza Inglaterra decretando asesinatos masivos por cuestiones políticas con el fin de protegerla. Ante el horror de Ana, su alguna vez apasionado esposo se vuelve finalmente contra ella y acaba ejecutándola. Esta ficción sobre reencarnaciones comienza con la ejecución de Ana. Su furia por la traición de su esposo tiene el suficiente ímpetu para perdurar siglos, pero la protagonista del libro percibe que la tarea será durísima: deberá revivir su historia junto a Enrique a lo largo de una serie de vidas pasadas y descubrir el perdón dentro de ella. La misión es muy difícil y podría tomarle largo tiempo cumplirla. El esposo en cuestión es Enrique Tudor, el famosísimo rey Enrique VIII. La narradora es la terca y voluble Ana Bolena, quien no muestra disposición alguna a perdonar. Qué duda cabe: esta es una historia de amor inusual. Las Reencarnaciones de Ana Bolena, en su versión en inglés (Threads), fue finalista del concurso William Faulkner en categoría Mejor Novela. Nell Gavin también es autora de Hang On, novela ganadora de medalla de plata en los premios Living Now Book y elegida entre las opiniones de Red Adept como título selecto con calificación de "extraordinario en su género".
