F*cked Up Fairy Tales: Sinful Cinderellas, Prince Alarmings, and Other Timeless Classics

"Bawdy, shocking, and hilarious interpretations of classic and rare fairy tales from a beloved TikTok storyteller Based on the wildly popular TikTok series, F*cked Up Fairy Tales presents modern retellings of some of the strangest and darkest stories humans have invented. Inspired by sources across the world, “Cosbrarian” Liz Gotauco conjures gossipy animals, homicidal royals, doomed commoners, and shape-shifting beaux—all reckoning with complicated, adult problems that “Disney versions” have sanitized. Gotauco offers insight into the stories’ contested origins, spills deliciously weird details about fairy tale authors, and explores timeless themes that have long tickled the human subconscious, from accidental bestiality and catastrophic marriages to the vexed question of what to do with your murderous lindworm child. Sexy, disturbing, and outrageous, F*cked Up Fairy Tales celebrates the astonishing diversity of the oral tradition, reaffirming our universal love for a story that’s messy as f*ck."

Ashes

"All it took was one little spark for everything to go up in flames until I was the only thing left standing on a pile of ashes. Twenty years ago, a fire stole the people I loved the most from me.

And it all started with her. It was supposed to be the best day of her life, but I was there to ruin it. Everything was going according to plan… Until I fell for her."

Audiobook

[Spanish] - Hot sur

"Un thriller que aborda la inmigración y las luces y sombras del sueño americano, por la ganadora de los premios Alfaguara, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y Grinzane Cavour «Leer esta novela es una experiencia hipnótica. Versa sobre inmigrantes, pero de una manera extraña, nueva y paradójica». World Literature Today El sueño americano se ha vuelto pesadilla, y tres latinas indocumentadas han quedado atrapadas: Bolivia y sus dos hijas, María Paz y Violeta. María Paz cree tocar el cielo con las manos al casarse con un policía blanco y norteamericano. Hasta que este es asesinado y a ella la meten presa. Pero la celda no es su peor calvario. María Paz descubre que el verdadero infierno la espera al otro lado de las rejas, y una segunda muerte termina de definir el rumbo de su suerte. Hot sur no habla más de cómo atravesar la frontera para entrar ilegalmente a Estados Unidos, sino de lo contrario: una vez dentro, cómo salirse a tiempo. Un libro que mantiene al lector sin aliento desde la primera página hasta la última. La crítica ha dicho: «Hot sur es una muestra del aterrador precio de los sueños en el mundo contemporáneo. Pero es también una celebración a la vida en tempo de thriller». Babelia «Restrepo nos recuerda que a veces el paraíso puede ser encontrado en el infierno. O el infierno en el paraíso, como les sucede en Hot sur a quienes dejan atrás su lugar de origen para buscar mejores oportunidades». El País «El noir latino más ardiente. […] Me lancé sobre él con el ansia de una lectura pendiente a la que por fin me podría entregar con todo fervor. […] Un libro de digestión lenta, tranquila y pausada. De esos que dejan huella, más de personajes que de tramas; más de atmósferas que de acción trepidante. Y es que la escritura de Laura Restrepo es morosa, deteniéndose en los detalles biográficos de las mujeres protagonistas». Jesús Lens, Ideal de Granada «Un fascinante thriller, aterrador, maravillosamente construido y a veces sorprendentemente cómico. Un himno al Sur, a la mujer, a todos los marginados. Una valiente condena a los espejismos de la prosperidad». Revista Kritica «La narrativa de Restrepo tiene una distinción estética digna de sus grandes predecesores, Gabriel García Márquez y José Saramago». Harold Bloom «Restrepo tiene una absoluta maestría sobre lo que escribe, una asombrosa y absoluta maestría». José Saramago «Su fascinación por la cultura popular y su humor impecable [...] ahorran a sus novelas cualquier tentación hacia el patetismo o melodrama e infunden placeres de lectura inconfundibles». Gabriel García Márquez «Una escritora que ilumina el mundo». The Washington Post Book World «La pluma de Laura Restrepo, elogiada por Gabriel García Márquez y José Saramago, está impregnada de maestría y un profundo entendimiento de la condición humana. Su habilidad para entrelazar la cultura popular con una crítica social incisiva ofrece al lector una experiencia literaria única, llena de matices y reflexiones sobre temas tan relevantes como la inmigración y la búsqueda de un futuro mejor. Hot sur desafía los estereotipos y revela la complejidad de la experiencia humana en un contexto tan desafiante como el de la migración. Su lectura promete ser una experiencia hipnótica y reveladora. […] Una obra imprescindible en la literatura contemporánea». Jaime Molinero Acedo, WhitePaperBy"

Fat Girls Dance

"Irreverent, witty, full of surprises, and based on a fabulous true story, this dynamic debut reveals what happens when three very different, very talented, fat women break all the rules, go viral—and discover life’s most breathtaking moves … Liv. Reese. Faith. Yes, they are plus-size, curvy, thick, whatever. Point is, they are past sick of society’s relentless body shaming defining them. Liv slays in dance classes, where she shakes off her frustrations as a struggling writer. Introverted Reese avoids “taking up too much space” by staying in the background as Liv’s sidekick. And while diva-cold professional dancer Faith aces countless auditions, she’s “too big” for starring roles. At the end of their respective ropes, all it takes is one more insult … for Liv to suddenly have an idea that will unite them all. It’s a shake-it-up, zero Fs challenge in which women like her will choreograph and perform a demanding new dance every week. For a year. Online. And just like that … after a boatload of hard work, FatGirlsDance becomes an Internet phenomenon, racking up thousands of followers, clicks—and controversy. More important, FGD creates a precious space for community. And it gives the three ladies an impossible shot: a major competition featuring the world’s best amateur dancers. Yet while Liv is determined to prove FGD can go from amazing to outstanding, Faith thinks they’re reaching too high, and Reese is caught in the middle. As the grueling practices and new goals start taking a toll, the trio soon finds their friendship stretched to the breaking point. With their biggest test ahead of them as their drama spins out of control, can these gutsy women pull it together to remake their futures—and become the women they were meant to be? “Highly recommend. Fat Girls Dance is a can’t-put-down adventure. I’m cheering, I’m laughing, welling up a bit at the truth of it all. When it was over, I was still dancing.”—Kanoa Greene, Fat Activist, Trainer, and Body Positivity Influencer"

[Spanish] - Oye (Spanish Edition)

"Un debut fascinante e innovador sobre una adolescente, su impredecible familia y los secretos que guardan. Luciana es la menor de una numerosa familia colombiano-americana en el sur de Florida, pero en medio de una crisis debe convertirse en la única voz razonable de su entorno familiar y lidiar con su excéntrica abuela, que se niega a seguir la orden de evacuación ante la llegada de un huracán. El huracán no es el único peligro. La glamorosa y despreocupada vida de la abuela se verá cimbrada por un grave diagnóstico médico que prefiere ignorar. Para colmo, decide mudarse con Luciana, que tendrá que hacer de cuidadora, traductora y guardar el cada vez menos disimulable secreto de la enfermedad, mientras lucha con sus propios desafíos adolescentes, con una hermana que vive lejos, una madre insensata y, en general, con una familia disfuncional. Estructurada como una serie de conversaciones telefónicas en las que solo escuchamos una de las voces, Oye está llena de referencias pop y de modismos zennials. Disruptiva, inolvidable, a ratos hilarante y a ratos triste, es el retrato de una generación, pero sobre todo el de una joven que, obligada a madurar, descubre en sí misma una fuerza insospechada."
