Hardback. Zustand: Good. Winner of the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize A vibrant debut story collection--poignant, unflinching, and immersive--masterfully moving between sharp wit and profound tenderness, Guatemalan Rhapsody offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of an ever-changing country, the people who claim it as home, and those who no longer do Ranging from a custodian at an underfunded college to a medicine man living in a temple dedicated to San Simon, the patron saint of alcohol and cigarettes, the characters in these stories find themselves at defining moments in their lives, where sacrifices may be required of them, by them, or for them. In "Saint Dismas," four orphaned brothers pose as part of a construction crew, stopping cars along the highway and robbing anyone foolish enough to hit the brakes. In "Heart Sleeves," two wannabe tattoo artists take part in a contest, where one of them hopes to win not only first place but also the heart of his best friend's girlfriend. And, in "Fight Sounds," a character who fancies himself a Don Juan is swept up in the commotion of an American film crew shooting a movie in his tiny town, until the economic and sexual politics of the place are turned on their head. Across this collection, Lemus's characters test their loyalty to family, community, and country, illuminating the ties that both connect us and constrain us. Guatemalan Rhapsody explores how we journey from the circumstances that we are forged by, and whether the ability to change our fortunes lies in our own hands or in those of another. Revealing the places where beauty, desperation, love, violence, and hope exist simultaneously, Jared Lemus's debut establishes him as a major new voice in the form.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. El Cártel Judicial puede ser tan letal como el más violento de los grupos delictivos; una sentencia a modo -infundada, a la ligera, sin elementos de prueba, con pruebas viciadas o para satisfacer intereses personales- puede llegar a ser peor que la muerte. Al más puro estilo de las organizaciones criminales, como si se tratara de un cártel, así opera el Poder Judicial en México. No es fortuito. Pareciera que este órgano ha sido secuestrado y convertido en una cofradía de letrados, hombres y mujeres, que se olvidaron de la más alta encomienda de impartición de justicia.   J. Jesús Lemus usa el argot criminal como analogía para entender este nivel de gobierno como un poder fallido, pues en términos generales, nos dice el autor, hoy opera como si se tratara de una organización criminal más, como una de las tantas que perviven en México. Solo que esta "organización" no opera desde la clandestinidad. En lo que Lemus denomina el Cártel Judicial se cambiaron las casas de seguridad por juzgados, los centros clandestinos de mando por lujosas oficinas, los uniformes de faena, armas y carrilleras por togas, jurisprudencias y amparos, y todos los juzgadores caminan empoderados, intocables, sin ser molestados o cuestionados por la opinión pública.   El Cártel Judicial es una investigación periodística de largo alcance que pretende exponer de cuerpo completo los vicios enquistados dentro del Poder Judicial. Aquí hay nombres y datos precisos, casos detallados, eventos judiciales particulares que pretenden contribuir a la exposición de las causas que hacen evidente y urgente la necesidad de una reforma constitucional que modifique la estructura actual de este poder y garantice la supresión de los jueces-dioses que hoy tenemos: poderosos, inalcanzables, antidemocráticos y oscuros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Judicial Cartel can be as lethal as the most violent criminal groups. A sentence--groundless, given lightly, without any proof, with tainted evidence, or to satisfy personal interests--can be worse than death. In the purest style of criminal organizations, Mexico's Judicial Power operates as if it were a cartel. It is not fortuitous. It would seem this branch has been overrun and turned into a guild of lawyers, both men and women, neglecting the highest duty of imparting justice.   J. Jesús Lemus uses criminal slang as analogy to understand this branch of the government as a failing power, since generally speaking, states the author, it operates as if it were just another criminal organization, one of many that thrive in Mexico. Only that this particular "organization" does not operate underground. In what Lemus calls the Judicial Cartel, drop houses are replaced by courtrooms; clandestine command centers are now luxurious offices; work clothes, guns, and chinstraps are traded for robes, jurisprudence, and injunctions, and every judge walks empowered, untouchable, unbothered or questioned by public opinion.   Judicial Cartel stems from wide-raging investigative journalism aiming to expose the full length of the Judicial Power's ingrown vices. Here you will find names and accurate information, detailed cases, particular judiciary events that intend to contribute in the exposition of the very reasons that make the need for a constitutional reform obvious and urgent, one that modifies the current structure of power and guarantees a full suppression of these judge-gods we have today: powerful, unreachable, antidemocratic, and dark. &nbsp.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Buckle up, doll," urges the narrator of Trace Elements, "I promise I'll try not to tangle your quinceañera dress." So begins the adventure of Leticia Marisol Estrella Torez, who moves north to Los Angeles in an attempt to break from her past: from starched dresses and sleek, tight braids; from Nana, the traditional grandmother who raised her; and also from the seductive Weeping Woman--the siren of Mexican folklore said to fly through the skies at night to steal troublesome children and who embodies, in many ways, Leti's first love. As Leti immerses herself in the post-queer hipster scene in Los Angeles, navigating the twisting road of her own shifting gender and falling deep into "papaya lush blush" love, she rediscovers the strength and meaning of la familia. A striking debut novel in the tradition of Michelle Tea and Sarah Schulman, Trace Elements spins a crazy-beautiful narrative that turns tradition on its head while laying flowers at its feet.…
