Previo al enorme éxito internacional de sus libros, antes de que su nombre apareciera en el horizonte de lo que cierta crítica ahora llama “literatura mundial”, Roberto Bolaño perpetraba pequeños actos de subversión simbólica. Tras presenciar uno de éstos en la feria del libro de París en 2003, donde Bolaño pasaba como anónimo entre varios editores franceses, Oswaldo Zavala — autor de La guerra en las palabras — decidió hacer una exploración de la obra del autor chileno como un gran proyecto literario, donde lo “marginal” se oponía a la producción cultural “hegemónica”.

I wrote this book in an effort to help creative souls who feel directionless and lost like I had been, and to provide hope through the stories of my life. To help them in ways teachers and authorities in their lives may have failed them. And to see their value in the world, regardless of their circumstances, and in business, in the markets in which they’ll trade in.

Em seu novo audiolivro, “Pelo buraco da fechadura: vi um baile de debutantes”, Mario Prata diz ter feito uma “quase biografia”, na qual conta casos vividos ao longo de sete décadas. Com a palavra o filho Antonio Prata, que assina o prefácio. "Meu pai é a pessoa mais engraçada que existe”. E continua: “Com meu pai, aprendi desde cedo que a literatura não é um evento chique ao qual devemos comparecer de terno e gravata. É um encontro ao qual podemos ir com a roupa e a atitude do momento, sem afetação.

Sarah Perry's father-in-law, David, died at home nine days after a cancer diagnosis and having previously been in good health. The speed of his illness outstripped that of the NHS and social care, so the majority of nursing fell to Sarah and her husband. They witnessed what happens to the body and spirit, hour by hour, as it approaches death.

In brutally repressive Elizabethan England, artists are frightened; foreigners are suspect; popular entertainment largely consists of coarse spectacles, animal fights, and hangings. What Christopher Marlowe finds on the other side of that door, and what he does with it, brings about a spectacular explosion of English literature, language, and culture, enabling the success of many others, including his youthful collaborator William Shakespeare. By the time of his murder in a Deptford tavern in 1593, the 29-year-old Marlowe will be the most celebrated dramatist of his time.

Henry David Thoreau was a leading figure in the American Transcendentalist movement and the era of US literary emergence, an intellectual with worldwide influence as essayist, social thinker, naturalist-environmentalist, and sage. Thoreau's Walden, an autobiographical narrative of his two-year sojourn in a self-built lakeside cabin, is one of the most widely studied works of American literature. It has generated scores of literary imitations and experiments in back-to-basics living.

Mary Claire Kendall grapples with Hemingway's faith and does so commendably. She doesn't explain him or explain him away, but she does get us closer to his Catholic heart. Those wishing to listen to the heart of Hemingway will relish this book.

Shakespeare and the Catholic Faith is not only a biography of William Shakespeare, but more importantly, it’s about William Shakespeare’s faith and how his faith is reflected, not only in his poems and plays but in all the mysterious parts of his life that nobody could make sense of until now.. For example, why did Shakespeare leave Stratford shortly after the birth of twins Judith and Hamnet and live most of his adult life in London when he could’ve just written his plays from the comfort of his own home in Stratford?

Already under fire for publishing the literary avant-garde into a world not ready for it, Margaret C. Anderson’s cutting-edge magazine The Little Review was a bastion of progressive politics and boundary-pushing writing from then-unknowns like T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, William Butler Yeats, and Djuna Barnes. And as its publisher, Anderson was a target.
