Food critic Dorothy Daniels loves what she does. Discerning, meticulous, and very, very smart, Dorothy's clear mastery of the culinary arts make it likely that she could, on any given night, whip up a more inspired dish than any one of the chefs she writes about. Dorothy loves sex as much as she loves food, and while she has struggled to find a long-term partner that can keep up with her, she makes the best of her single life, frequently traveling from Manhattan to Italy for a taste of both. But there is something within Dorothy that's different from everyone else, and having suppressed it long enough, she starts to embrace what makes Dorothy uniquely, terrifyingly herself. Recounting her life from a seemingly idyllic farm-to-table childhood, the heights of her career, to the moment she plunges an ice pick into a man's neck on Fire Island, Dorothy Daniels show us what happens when a woman finally embraces her superiority. A satire of early foodieism, a critique of how gender is defined, and a showcase of virtuoso storytelling, Chelsea G. Summers' A Certain Hunger introduces us to the food world's most charming psychopath and an exciting new voice in fiction.

Una novela sobre las distintas caras del amor y los espejismos de las relaciones desiguales, las dificultades del duelo y la amistad como refugio. «Los hombres llevan siglos narrando el largo y venturoso regreso a casa después de la guerra, las mujeres estamos contando la larga y angustiosa vuelta a nosotras mismas después del amor.

Bestselling author Morgan Elizabeth delivers Tourist Trap, a small town, age gap, grumpy sunshine, summer romance based in Seaside Point, a shore town in New Jersey. Claire: A summer in a tourist trap is exactly what I need. A single summer of fun before I finally buckle down and decide on what I want to do with the rest of my life. So when my best friend suggested I spend the summer as a lifeguard in Seaside Point I jumped at the opportunity. I was ready for a summer of uncomplicated fun, so imagine my surprise when my ex’s older brother owns the house I want to rent a room in. Not only is Miles the guy I used to have the biggest crush on, he refuses to give me the time of day. Miles: I have enough on my plate trying to save up what I need to buy my brother out of the house we inherited by the end of the summer. I definitely don’t need the distraction of my brother’s gorgeous ex prancing around my house. But for some reason I still can’t understand, I agreed to let her rent a room and now she’s prancing around in her little bathing suits, flirting with me endlessly, and making me a summer bucket list because she thinks I can’t have fun. I don’t mess with tourists, and I surely don’t mess with my brother’s exes, but just like the moon and its effect on tides, I can’t escape her pull on me. Will I be able to survive this summer with her, or will I get distracted and lose it all?

Habrá quien afirme que pensar el amor es matar al amor. O que hablar de una misma es olvidarse de lo común. Sin embargo, me parece que estos ensayos demuestran lo contrario. Respiran, atra vesados por el cuerpo y la experiencia, pero siempre pasando por la reflexión. No hay nada muerto en estas páginas, sino la vitalidad que la teoría en movimiento puede generar. Subir una montaña tiene muchas dimensiones. Las primeras son sin duda físicas y. si me apuran un poco, espirituales. Pero no son las ú otras requieren que se les asigne un sentido, que vendrá a partir de la propia historia, cultura y concepciones sobre el mundo. La expe- riencia es el conjunto de todo ello. Y sucede lo mismo con el amor. Pensarlo y no sólo vivirlo acríticamente le da otras dimensiones que sacuden la inercia, que a veces duelen, pero con frecuencia crean horizonte. Los ensayos de Cuando hablamos de amor están llenos de cla- roscuros, de propuestas, de apuestas. Experimentan, van y vierien. Quizá sea redundante decirlo, pero rezuman afecto y promesas al mundo. A veces invitan a pensarnos fuera del espacio que es la pareja, en monogamia, no monogamia, o cualquier forma de re- lación amorosa, y abrirnos al todo de la sociedad. Otras, a romper los paradigmas que se nos han impuesto, o incluso que nos hemos impuesto, en ese mismo campo. A que no nos casemos (guino, guiño) con lo que creemos que debe ser. Parecen no nos va- yamos con las conclusiones simples, dejemos de consumir(nos), dejemos de ponernos en cajas. Abramos en vez de cerrar. El mundo está Ileno de violencia y si no tejemos redes amplias y amorosas no sabremos qué hacer con el incendio. Porque en este punto, ya no hay duda, estamos en medio de un incendio, real y metaforico. Sigamos construyendo el enorme tejido del amor polifonico, mul- tiforme, cuestionador, generoso, amoroso, en este mundo álgido que tanto necesita de empatia y de miradas sobre la existencia del otro, la otra, Ix otrx. AURA GARCIA-JUNCO

A perilous and fantastical satire of banned books, secret libraries, and the looming eye of an all-powerful government. The new book censor hasn’t slept soundly in weeks. By day he combs through manuscripts at a government office, looking for anything that would make a book unfit to publish―allusions to queerness, unapproved religions, any mention of life before the Revolution. By night the characters of literary classics crowd his dreams, and pilfered novels pile up in the house he shares with his wife and daughter. As the siren song of forbidden reading continues to beckon, he descends into a netherworld of resistance fighters, undercover booksellers, and outlaw librarians trying to save their history and culture. Reckoning with the global threat to free speech and the bleak future it all but guarantees, Bothayna Al-Essa marries the steely dystopia of Orwell’s 1984 with the madcap absurdity of Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, resulting in a dreadful twist worthy of Kafka. The Book Censor’s Library is a warning call and a love letter to stories and the delicious act of losing oneself in them.

When Rin aced the Keju — the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies — it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard — the most elite military school in Nikan — was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power — an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive — and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away. Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity ... and that it may already be too late.
