En las historias de Manos de lumbre, como diría Jean-Paul Sartre, "no hay necesidad de fuego, el infierno son los otros". Un escritor que practica el plagio literario, una mujer obsesiva bajo una maternidad malentendida o una enferma frente al trance de elegir son algunos de los personajes de Alberto Chimal que conviven con su propio infierno, con su propio disimulo, manipulación o incertidumbre. Chimal enciende una prosa que subraya el matiz de lo fantástico y que explora siempre límites, siendo así su literatura juego e hipnosis donde introducirnos y, posiblemente, quemarnos. "Alberto Chimal nos recuerda que todo ocurre aquí, en este mundo, en esta vida, en estas formas de imaginación de las que todos participamos" Francisco de León, Literal "Para los lectores algo cansados con el modo realista en el que se desenvuelve buena parte de la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea, Chimal es un escritor imprescindible" Edmundo Paz Soldán, La Tercera "Así funciona la narrativa de Chimal: con potencia. Tiene poder, tiene eficacia, engancha" Sara Mesa, Estado Crítico "Chimal se acerca a la zona de la penumbra, de las amenazas y las identidades indefinidas, en donde reina la "belleza terrible" y donde lo desconocido y lo aterrador cohabitan" Carolina Herranz, Criticismo

Never before in English, this legendary precursor to eco-fiction turns the coming insect apocalypse on its head A Wall Street Journal Best Science Fiction Book of 2021 A bitter drunk forsakes civilization and takes to the Mexican jungle, trapping animals, selling their pelts to buy liquor for colossal benders, and slowly rotting away in his fetid hut. His neighbors, a clan of the Lacodón tribe of Chiapas, however, see something more in him than he does himself (dubbing him Wise Owl): when he falls deathly ill, a shaman named Black Ant saves his life—and, almost by chance, in driving out his fever, she exorcises the demon of alcoholism as well. Slowly recovering, weak in his hammock, our antihero discovers a curious thing about the mosquitoes’ buzzing, “which to human ears seemed so irritating and pointless.” Perhaps, in fact, it constituted a language he might learn—and with the help of a flute and a homemade dictionary—even speak. Slowly, he masters Mosquil, with astonishing consequences… Will he harness the mosquitoes’ global might? And will his new powers enable him to take over the world that’s rejected him? A book far ahead of its time, His Name Was Death looks down the double-barreled shotgun of ecological disaster and colonial exploitation—and cackles a graveyard laugh.

From the author of Moxie comes a stunning novel told in three voices about the lies families tell to survive. Every year, summer begins when the Callahans arrive on Mariposa Island. That’s when Elena Finney gets to escape her unstable, controlling mother by babysitting for their two children. And the summer of 1986 promises to be extra special when she meets J.C., the new boy in town, whose kisses make Elena feel like she’s been transported to a new world. Joaquin Finney can’t imagine why anyone would want to come to Mariposa Island. He just graduated from high school and dreams about going to California to find his father and escape his mother’s manipulation. The Liars of Mariposa Island follows siblings Elena and Joaquin, with flashbacks to their mother's experience as a teenage refugee fleeing the Cuban revolution. Jennifer Mathieu’s multilayered novel explores the nature of secrets, lies, and fierce, destructive love.
