| Title: El Llano in flames |
| By (author): Juan Rulfo Translated by: Stephen Beechinor |
| ISBN10-13: 0995632014 : 9780995632011 |
| For a writer so reserved in what he saw into print, Juan Rulfo has had a disproportional influence on writers of literature, in Spanish and beyond, on a par with Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez. His single story collection, El Llano in flames, provides a pithy and moving expression of life in central and western Mexico in the decades following the Revolution. These stories have the quality of an oral testimony to harsh years and are delivered in a spare and exquisite voice. This new translation by Stephen Beechinor marks the first time this masterpiece of Latin American literature has been made available to English-language readers beyond North America since the book was first published in Spanish in 1953. |

"Juan Rulfo didn't write more than three hundred pages, but they are almost as many and, I believe, as durable as those we're acquainted with from Sophocles." - Gabriel García Márquez
|
|
"You can read Rulfo's slight but dense body of work in a couple of days, but that represents only a first step into territories that are yet to be definitively mapped. Their exploration is one of the more remarkable journeys in literature." - The Guardian

| Title: The Way Out |
| By (author): Vicki Jarrett |
| ISBN10-13: 0995632049 : 9780995632042 |
| A girl on a paper round gets more than she bargained for. A couple feels the strain when the money runs out. Life plays out in the call centre, the bingo hall and at the bus stop. Vicki Jarretts debut collection -- reissued here with the bonus story Up Dog Down Dog -- is a deftly observed insight into the lives of people just trying to get by. Jarrett, whose first novel, Nothing is Heavy, was shortlisted for Scottish First Book of the Year, is drawn to the absurdity of everyday life. The characters in THE WAY OUT dream of escape from jobs, relationships and disappointments, yet these darker tones are finely balanced by a natural lightness of touch. These stories are at once heart-breaking, tender, devastatingly honest and brimming with black comedy. |

"There is heart here ... a very impressive collection." -- Rodge Glass, author of Bring Me the Head of Ryan Giggs
|
|
"These stories are warm yet chilling, barbed but sensuous, gruesome then tender, funny and wistful. In her accounts of men, women, children and arseholes, Jarrett serves up a platter of dilemmas, desires and disappointments. This is a collection full of style and control." -- Anneliese Mackintsoh, author of Any Other Mouth"

| Title: Wolfskin |
| By (author): Lara Moreno |
| ISBN10-13: 0995632022 : 9780995632028 |
| SofÃa is thirty-five and her husband has left her. Her father died the year before, and her mother is living in the Canary Islands with a new partner. SofÃa flees the city with her young son, seeking refuge in her father's house on the southern coast of Spain, where she spent summers as a girl. Her younger sister, with whom she has a close but uneasy relationship, joins her. Living together again, the sisters face their present as well as their childhood and tangled past. A novel from one of Spain's most remarkable authors, WOLFSKIN is an intimate meditation on ambivalence and motherhood, eroticism and disappointment, family violence and failure, and ultimately, the possibility -- or impossibility -- of living with those you love. |
| Reviews: |
|
"Wolfskin is a sensitive and thoughtful portrait of mother- and sisterhood that shows how the past defines our understanding of both. Katie Whittemore's translation deals admirably with Moreno’s range of textures and moods. Through Rita and Sofia, Moreno suggests that, fraught though they may be, family relationships are never entirely beyond redemption." -- Patrick Graney, The Times Literary Supplement
|
|
"That violence and abuse can happen, be evident, and yet be ignored is Moreno's searing observation." -- Declan O’Driscoll, The Irish Times
