    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This book doesn’t set out to confirm anything the reader hasn’t already suspected—but it does so from an unexpected angle. What is a diary when it exceeds its own form? And what is a novel when it resists being one? It is not an intimate diary, though it contains confessions. Nor is it an essay, though it thinks with precision. It is a gesture of writing—of persistence, of inquiry. Diario inútil is not a book to be read straight through; it is something to be traversed—like navigating a city without a map. It is yet another attempt to capture what happens in the very moment it unfolds. A belated record of uninvited thoughts, fleeting scenes, human bewilderments, and convictions that unravel by the first paragraph. There is no linear journey, only movement. No moral, but echoes. Ricardo Añez Montiel does not write to please or to dazzle. He writes like someone circling around something that cannot be fully named, yet insists on being present. And what if the point is not to arrive, but to linger at the margins? At times, something seems about to begin. As if, on the next page, the text will find a recognizable shape, a clear direction. But it doesn’t. The diary persists. It advances, recedes, stalls, disperses. It seeps into the crevices of the everyday: a domestic argument, a taxi ride, a wait at the hospital, a trip to the cinema. And what if the extraordinary resided precisely in the unnoticed? Nothing happens—and everything happens. The narrative voice offers no answers, nor does it seek them. It observes. And in observing, it proposes another way of inhabiting time. This book resists classification. It shifts registers, tests paths, moves with the freedom—illusory or not—of a personal diary and the intuition that any novel today might be anything. Diario inútil makes no effort to conform—nor does it need to. It moves across the surface of the everyday like someone digging, allowing what is fragmentary, unexpected, and seemingly minor to reveal a deeper resonance. Perhaps that, in the end, is what literature most urgently needs—or at the very least, the most honest thing it can offer. (Publisher's synopsis, translated from the Spanish by Archivo Venezuela)]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<em>An Unpronounceable Animal</em> explores the feminine in its most savage and primitive form. Through its stories, it invites us to get lost in unexplored territories where the protagonists transgress the everyday to merge with the monstrous. This anthology incorporates Latin American ancestral archetypes and myths into an imaginary world that resonates with our own search for the mythical. The narrative fabric, where the sinister and the unusual meet, demands multiple readings to reveal its layers of meaning. These are labyrinths where strangeness lurks and the grotesque merges with beauty, giving life to a work that challenges the limits of language while exploring the feminine psyche in its rawest state.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Caracas, 2010. The revolutionary government exploits the energy crisis to decree power outages that, for hours, black out the entire country. During these periods of time, Venezuela seems to regress in history to a new Stone Age that seeps through every crack. Amidst this atmosphere, two friends, a frustrated writer and a psychiatrist accustomed to getting involved in the lives of his patients, discuss a series of crimes that have occurred in the last year. Pedro Álamo, another character in this polyphonic novel, obsessively searches through word games—those he creates and those dreamed up by his admired Darío Lancini—for the key to understanding the unhinged world he lives in. It's as if he were seeking to transform reality into something different by changing the order of its constituent elements, thus trying to find its exact meaning. Literature, rock, dreams, violence, politics, love, absences, and fears intertwine in the minds of the protagonists. They open labyrinths, create crossroads, and produce vital short circuits. With this story in which everything seems to be teetering on the brink of delirium, where present-day Venezuela is reflected in a mirror pierced by apocalyptic shadows, and its inhabitants face the fate that inexorably awaits them; be it the fulfillment of their obsessions or death.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Sere is a journalist from Caracas who leaves her job to open a restaurant in Santa Monica. Olga is an old friend living in exile in London. In brief letters marked by astonishment and horror, Sere tells Olga about the adventures of Patricia, a friend and colleague investigating a series of unexplained crimes. Several bodies have been found in the Guaire, the river that runs through Caracas. But none of them have drowned. Except for one: Toñito Peralta. Perhaps this case holds the key to all the others. Patricia wants to know what happened and publish the results of her investigations in the press. Will she be able to discover who is throwing bodies into the Guaire? This novel explores a barely explored area in Venezuelan crime literature, where rootedness and uprooting serve as the backdrop for a detective story with very few police officers, told in an intimate and warm voice: the voice of friendship.

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Vampires, Women, Venezuelan literature, dictatorship, gothic fiction, Michelle Roche Rodríguez]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Venezuela, 1921. Diana, the fourteen-year-old daughter of an elitist family from Caracas, discovers she has inherited the hematophagy disorder from her father, a moneylender and landowner, occupations he pursues thanks to his connection to the dictatorship in power. The illness inclines her to violence against certain men and alienates her from her mother, whose strict Catholic beliefs are strong. As she matures, Diana will face the abuse of the boyfriend she is expected to marry, the brutality of her family, and the tyranny of the militaristic and religious patriarchy. However, the worst part is her involvement in the illicit activities and political conspiracies of her father's associates, which will lead her to the private chambers of the presidential palace. These are times of the oil revolution, and the general in command is named Juan Vicente Gómez, a milestone in Venezuelan history less because he lasted three decades in power than because during his time the country's two great institutions were established and strengthened: the armed forces and the rentier economy. Michelle Roche Rodríguez has written a powerful allegory that combines the fantastic and the historical, the exploration of sexuality and politics, the struggle to affirm one's identity as a woman in a sexist society, and vampirism as both reality and symbol. A seductive, captivating, and disturbing book about rebellion and transgression. A novel that plays with the horror genre, exploring new territories, taking it beyond the cliché path. (Publisher's synopsis, translated from the Spanish by Archivo Venezuela).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Homosexuality, dystopian fiction, lovers, totalitarianism, Political persecution, Manuel Gerardo Sánchez]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Two men in uniform flee through a tangled jungle. They are deserters. They are lovers. Lovers fleeing toward freedom as they enter each other's prison. A first image as paradoxical as the fact that man can make time move forward by delving into the past. Men who are seen as "insects," according to the glossary of the revolution of Papá H, as Pablo Hacha is known, leader of a totalitarian tyranny in an imaginary country, but so real that it could be located at any corner of the world where the thirst for power stopped time and, with it, all vestiges of progress, all individual freedom, all sense of humanity. With this scene, Manuel Gerardo Sánchez begins The Stir of Insects, his first novel. There, his characters move within a framework where man's most savage instincts are unleashed—once all traces of those civilizing fictions that sustain life in society have collapsed, giving way to his most primitive nature. With a tone that, at times, plunges into the parody, the author shows these lovers who symbolize the two most despicable sins for militaristic fanaticism: homosexuality and betrayal of the cause, which is the betrayal of a religion in which a man acts as God and paradise ends up converted into hell.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A woman travels to France to seek family roots in a small town, which will allow her to obtain a foreign passport to escape Venezuela; another visits the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul and, upon seeing the objects that recount the lives in a novel by Orhan Pamuk, revisits in her memory the many objects left behind, which populated the journeys of her own life; three Venezuelan siblings, each living in a different country, must reunite in Germany to sow their father's ashes; a "sudaca and weirdo" migrant in Spain attempts to replicate Caracas on Madrid. These stories of migration, by Silda Cordoliani, Raquel Rivas Rojas, Alberto Barrera Tyszka, and Lena Yau, are just a brief sample of the short story collection Escribir Fuera: Cuentos de intemperies y querencias complied and edited by Raquel Rivas Rojas, Katie Brown, and Liliana Lara, which has just been published in 2021, thanks to the enthusiastic work of these three authors and the successful venture of David Alejandro Malavé, head of Kálathos, a Venezuelan publishing house in Spain.

Angustias Romero flees the plague with her husband and two children strapped to her back. The seven-month-old twins die on the journey, and after packing them into shoeboxes, the couple heads off to bury them in El Tercer País, the illegal cemetery run by the legendary Visitación Salazar. Abandoned by her husband, Angustias will fight alongside the gravedigger against a hostile environment, where the only law is dictated by those with weapons, where time is marked by fish, parties, and mysterious toys left on children's graves, while danger and violence escalate until the last minute, blurring the boundaries between life and death.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An experimental book that, through autofiction and other literary mechanisms, explores the ruin and deterioration of a revolutionary experiment in Venezuela, reactivating another form of utopian desire. Juan Cristóbal Castro writes Arqueología sonámbula (Sleepwalking Archeology), a necessary text, an amphibious animal that traces the history of the last twenty years in Venezuela. Its central axis is the ruin as a material and symbolic record of the country's deterioration and crisis, as well as a repressed dream residue that returns in the protagonist's intimate and familial history. Through a combination of discursive repertoires such as notes, narratives, theoretical quotations, photographs, critical arguments, historical archives, and footnotes, Castro assembles a narrative and conceptual artifact that destabilizes each of these forms and weaves a web of unexpected connections between the materiality of the ruin, theoretical reflections on the remainder and spectrality, the political and social situation in Venezuela, the character's private and emotional life, and a surprising library of Venezuelan history, literature, culture, and art. This book enters and leaves the country through a unique and novel literary strategy that combines historical and theoretical rigor with an emotional and sensitive dimension that reveals other possible readings of the Venezuelan conflict. In this work, the material that wears away achieves the beauty of what hurts and ends. (Publisher's synopsis).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<em>Una tarde con campanas</em> is a novel about immigration. First, there's the origin: Latin America (Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, the Dominican Republic, or the author's native Venezuela). And then, the destination: Madrid in this case, as it could be any other Spanish city. And it's through the eyes of José Luis (a naive but bright child) that we experience the journey and gradual adaptation of the exiled, from the differences in the landscape and weather to the relationships with others and how they perceive him. A novel full of emotions, a coming-of-age story, filled with both funny and sad anecdotes, in which Spain and Latin America merge in a true way.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The death that results from the reunion of an old group of friends, the final days of a writer shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the boy who sees his cousin and playmate disappear, or the old woman who begins to lose her memory are some of the seven stories that make up this volume of tales, united by a single concept: the innocence with which one can live among ruins and rubble. These narratives, written with a remarkable variety of registers and techniques, explore the desolation, the tenderness, and the sentimentality of beings who survive as best they can, under a gaze from the depths of their interiority, "real" stories set against a mythical backdrop. Thus, like their protagonists, the cities follow one another and interchange: Madrid, Caracas, Barquisimeto, Aix en Provence, or ancient Jerusalem. But always, each accompanied by the ruins and the desolate beauty that remains within them. Agile at times, slow at others, but always with brilliant prose, Juan Carlos Méndez Guédez gives us in this <em>En las ruinas</em> some vivid, latent, sincere stories. Hard to forget.
