El día que no fue

Un amor sorpresivo. Una ruptura incomprensible. Dos caras de una misma moneda. ¿Cómo puede convertirse el amor más luminoso y feliz en violencia que lastima, en ausencia que duele? La anónima protagonista de esta novela ha sido expulsada de la vida del ser amado. Viviendo una relación feliz y estable con un hombre, descubrió el verdadero y más completo amor en una mujer. Sin pensarlo dos veces, tomó el riesgo y se lanzó hacia un romance que duraría más de una década. Pero la felicidad no le dejó ver que llegaría el día de la ruptura y que ésta no traería únicamente soledad, sino un profundo miedo. Miedo porque la persona amada ahora puede transformarse en su peor enemiga. Un miedo presente que le recuerda miedos más antiguos: exilios, desapariciones, violencias. Miedos suyos y miedos que son de otros. Sola, encerrada con sus pensamientos, rememora escenas del pasado. La alegría de entonces no la reconforta: la hiere con sutileza. Los recuerdos duelen, las fotos son ahora pedazos de memoria. Pedazos que deberá recoger y guardar en algún rincón para poder seguir adelante.

The Visitors

On the eve of the Occupy Wall Street protests, C is flat broke. Once a renowned textile artist, she’s now the sole proprietor of an arts supply store in Lower Manhattan. Divorced, alone, at loose ends, C is stuck with a struggling business, a stack of bills, a new erotic interest in her oldest girlfriend, and a persistent hallucination in the form of a rogue garden gnome with a pointed interest in systems collapse … C needs to put her medical debt and her sex life in order, but how to make concrete plans with this little visitor haunting her apartment, sporting a three-piece suit, and delivering impromptu lectures on the vulnerability of the national grid? Moreover, what’s all this computer code doing in the story of her life? And do the answers to all of C’s questions lie with an eco-hacktivist cabal threatening to end modern life as we know it? Replaying recent history through a distorting glass, The Visitors is a mordantly funny tour through a world where not only civic infrastructure but our darkest desires are vulnerable to malware; where mythical creatures talk like Don DeLillo; where love is little more than a blip in our metadata. It peers into how we got here and asks what we do next, charting the last days of a broken status quo as the path is cleared for something new.

Always the First to Die

After her husband's death, Lexi has refused to return to the Pinecrest Estate on the Florida Keys because there are too many hard memories on that strip of land, including the memories of meeting her husband on the set of an iconic horror movie, being cast as an extra, watching herself get killed on screen, and scoffing at the rumors of the Pinecrest Estate curse...until she witnessed a cast member die that very summer. But when her daughter sneaks away to visit her grandfather, legendary horror-movie director Rick Plummer, Lexi is forced to face her past. That's when a Category Four hurricane changes course and hits the southern coast. Unable to get through to her daughter, Lexi drives to the Keys in the wake of the storm. What she finds is an island without cell service, without power, and with limited police presence.

Soon enough, Lexi's life begins to resemble Rick's most famous horror film, and she must risk her life to save her daughter before someone, or something, destroys them all.

Es al mismo tiempo una crítica feroz de la política en América Latina, una reposada reflexión sobre la identidad individual, una novela que explora los límites de la amistad, un ensayo sobre la fragilidad de lo real y, también, una historia de amor imposible.
