El dolor se confunde demasiado con la vida, pero ellos todavía no lo han aprendido. Ha fallecido la abuela, por lo que Gabriel, a sus trece años, regresa al pueblo junto a su madre para el entierro. Como es habitual, todo termina siendo un desastre, pero la reaparición de su padre, con quien casi había perdido el contacto, le hace revivir por qué hace tres años se mudaron a Las Casas y, muy especialmente, por qué se marcharon corriendo de allí, con la promesa de no volver. Todos volvemos es una hilarante comedia trágica sobre cómo aprendemos a aceptar a nuestros padres, cómo nos construyen sus errores y cuánto nos debemos, aunque nos cueste reconocerlo así, entre padres e hijos.

"Reads like the birth of a brand new genre...an audatious, ambitious debut." Joseph Bates, author of Tomorrowland: Stories. A wickedly smart, deceptively powerful novel about the uneasy intersection of love and commerce. Winner of the Fiction Attic Press Debut Novel Prize. When Laura hires herself out as a human breast pump, she is unprepared for the devotion she inspires in new moms desperate to be relieved of the machinery of lactation. Soon, the situation at her job goes sour, and she devises a plan to work less and earn more. A dreamer at best and a steam-roller at worst, Laurie hopes to prove to the world that there is employment beyond the nine to five. Her imaginative scheme draws a young housekeeper, a male bachelorette party babysitter, and a data entry clerk into the business of manufactured intimacy--a business more dangerous than Laurie is willing to admit. Sharp, darkly funny, and insightful, RETURN ON INVESTMENT?will appeal to fans of Maria Semple, Jess Walter, Jami Attenberg, and Lena Dunham. A must-read for anyone who knows what it means to seek fulfillment through work and love. ?

Devolvemos a los lectores La busca del jardín, obra que, en 1978, recibió en Francia el Premio Médicis a la mejor novela extranjera, y en la que Héctor Bianciotti inicia en cierto modo esa larga aventura personal que el tiempo, la distancia, el cambio de lengua y, sobre todo, la distorsión de la memoria han ido convirtiendo, en los últimos veinte años, en sucesivas obras de ficción que, finalmente, le han conducido hasta la Academia de las Letras francesa. En el jardín, extraño terreno acotado en la inmensidad de la pampa argentina, el Niño descubre un día, gracias a las revistas del corazón, que más allá de aquel ilimitado llano uniforme existe otro mundo donde se conjugan lo bello, lo armónico y lo sabio. Y Jardín es la primera palabra de esta novela, concebida, según el propio autor, «como una especie de pequeña e íntima enciclopedia». Porque desde el Niño hasta el Hombre ?los dos protagonistas de esta historia?, serán los nombres de lugares, personajes y circunstancias los que irán tramando este itinerario de ida y vuelta, dominado por la nostalgia y el remordimiento.

"Per què escriure novel·les si es pot dir la veritat?", va escriure Matthew Tree en un relat anterior, i amb aquest llibre breu de memòries demostra que, efectivament, es pot dir la veritat, tota la veritat i res més que la veritat si un realment té ganes
