A lo largo de la obra de Alejo Carpentier se formula toda una teoría de lo que ha de ser la novela latinoamericana en la actual etapa de su evolución, y al mismo tiempo se realiza una novelística que en todo responde a esa formulación teórica.

The sixth Verbivoracious Festschrift is a brobdingnagian spectacular f?ting the famous workshop of potential literature, The Oulipo, now entering its 57th year. Our contributors were invited to write a piece of fiction, an essay, a poem, or any other hybrid, and choose their own constraints. The results have yielded a marvellous sprawl of oulipian homage, from petite poetic tributes to Queneau, to long lipogrammatic bows to Perec. In this issue: Philip Terry?s take on Perec?s I Remember, Warren Motte?s literary abecedaries, David Bellos?s iconoclastic essay on Hugo and Perec, two chapters from Jeff Bursey?s lipogrammic novel Ennead, Louis Bury?s anticipatory blurbs, Michael Leong?s take on the Oulipo?s ever-expanding influence, Tom Jenks and Jeanelle D?Alessandro?s satirical N+7s, Andriana Minou?s typographically playful novella Hypnotic Labyrinth, John Peck?s murder mystery in 100 sentences, poetry from Doug Nufer and Stephen Frug, Marc Lapprand?s view on evolution and The Oulipo, a slew of palindromes, lists, papers, and fancies from Pablo Ruiz, and many other pieces. The issue concludes with a wholly orig

Carla Flores, a homeless ex-cop, is living her nightmares. Her mind - a juxtaposition of real life, night terrors, and cocaine - leaves her isolated on the streets of Albuquerque. She constantly struggles to rid herself of the memories overlaying her waking hours: a traumatic shootout, being overpowered and taken hostage while her partner lay dying. The dangers of the long nights seem ready to swallow her completely until she is found by an unlikely companion - a stray dog named Rivet. Carla's only salvation in a city that has forgotten her walks on four feet - a life line out of the darkness and into the light.

En aquests contes, que giren al voltant de l?amor i la mort, la malaltia i la solitud, Rafa Gomar descriu situacions de la realitat quotidiana i les expressa amb una prosa concisa i eficaç. El lector es trobarà davant de sis històries

Un escritor de horóscopos decide prosperar y para ello se propone especializarse en el maquillaje de biografías. Para ello cuenta con Ohesido Sesilú, un anodino vendedor, cuarentón, que yace enfermo de algo desconocido y, en su lecho de muerte, se ha prestado a colaborar con el escritor. Sin saber cómo, acaban todos implicados en una red de contrabandistas iraníes, coreanos y algún que otro sueco. Paradójicamente, aun comportándose de la forma más humana posible, la bondad acaba triunfando.

L'Eulàlia, una noia de dinou anys i filla d'una família humil d'un poble de la Noguera, fa de minyona a Barcelona. A petició dels seus pares, ha de tornar al poble i acceptar casar-se amb el Pere, fill únic del senyor Sebastià Cervera. La vida a la nova llar és difícil: ha de consumar una relació no desitjada i el seu sogre la tracta amb hostilitat i violència. L'Eulàlia accepta aquesta vida amb resignació i lluita per tirar endavant, però l'opressió per part del Sebastià li recorda constantment el seu rol dins de la família. L'inici de la Guerra Civil agreuja la vida a casa dels Cervera, i l'Eulàlia ha de fer més que mai per la vida dels seus. Un descobriment inesperat farà trontollar encara més la seva vida i li farà canviar la percepció del que ha estat el seu món des que es va casar. --- L'obra presenta un nou i magnífic personatge literari, Eulàlia, que, en la seva lluita a favor de la supervivència i la dignitat, no dubtarà d'enfrontar-se al catastròfic món que li ha tocat viure. El resultat d'aquesta odissea és una novel·la tremenda, poderosa, plena de tendresa i d'una esperança recalcitrant. -Jaume C. Pons Alorda

Con un depurado estilo teatral e ironía, el autor retrata una familia con ínfulas: un auténtico estudio psicológico de la clase media-baja parisina durante la 3ª República.

Esta novela no es el primer escrito ni el último de los míos sobre el que se cierne la sombra de don Juan de Borbón y Battenberg. De hecho, cabría decir que es su protagonista, como Pepe el Romano lo es el de La casa de Bernarda Alba. Y es que, en torno a él, que nunca aparece en escena, giran las peripecias más bien divertidas en que se desenvuelven sus personajes. Lo cierto es que su figura siempre despertó en mí curiosidad y simpatía, tal vez por la devoción que le profesaban personas de mi entorno, sobre todo en la Universidad y en la Milicia Universitaria, cuyo primer curso hice en la Escuela de Suboficiales de San Fernando, la misma en la que él fue cadete cuando era Escuela Naval.
