Memory and Oblivion
Paloma Sánchez-Garnica's first novel to be translated into English is a beautiful, harrowing, and illuminating story of family betrayals and a last chance for forgiveness. Carlota Molina has a brilliant career as a judge in Madrid, the respect of her peers, and an independent life. But it's a life still haunted by the specter of a father she's been estranged from for decades. Then one day Carlota gets a phone call from a familial stranger--her half sister, Julia--with an impassioned request. After years of pain and distance, Carlota's father, Clemente, wants to see her before he dies...and to settle the past. Seizing on the opportunity to confront all her disillusions, Carlota begins to unravel the lies and deception in her family history. Some secrets she knows, and some secrets she has yet to discover. It is up to Carlota to decide how much of a mark she will let those secrets leave.

The Same City
"As well as the American setting, the ups and downs of our protagonist recall comparable arcs in the novels of Paul Auster and Philip Roth. . . . The plot is compressed and the prose tight. . . In his sixth novel Martín has delivered a clever and pacy modern fable."—Ben Bollig, Times Literary Supplement In the midst of a midlife crisis Brandon Moy bumps into a long-lost friend. Since they last met, their lives have diverged, and despite being happily married and well-off, Moy yearns for the excitement and adventure his friend, still a bachelor, enjoys. The next day, after his wife and son have headed out, Moy leaves late for the law firm where he works in the World Trade Center. His delay will save his life, for it is September 11, 2001, and the attacks take place when he is just a few blocks away from his office. After spending the day tending to the wounded he tries to call his wife, to tell her he is alright, but the phone system has collapsed. Brandon Moy then and there realizes he will be left for dead, a 9/11 victim—his chance to vanish and pursue his dreams. Luisgé Martín is a Spanish writer born in Madrid in 1962. He has published short story collections, nonfiction works, and over five novels. He also contributes occasionally to Spanish publications, and has been awarded several literary prizes.
