Still Born, Guadalupe Nettel’s fourth novel, explores one of life’s most consequential decisions – whether or not to have children – with her signature charm and intelligence. Alina and Laura are independent and career-driven women in their mid-thirties, neither of whom have built their future around the prospect of a family. Laura has taken the drastic decision to be sterilized, but as time goes by Alina becomes drawn to the idea of becoming a mother. When complications arise in Alina’s pregnancy and Laura becomes attached to her neighbour’s son, both women are forced to reckon with the complexity of their emotions. In prose that is as gripping as it is insightful, Still Born explores maternal ambivalence with a surgeon’s touch, carefully dissecting the contradictions that make up the lived experiences of women.

"Urstarkt om det lilla livets stora katastrofer." Dagens Nyheter
Alina och Laura är båda självständiga kvinnor i trettioårsåldern som inte byggt sina liv kring tanken på familj och barn. Laura har till och med gått så långt som att sterilisera sig, men med tiden har tanken på ett barn fått fäste i Alinas huvud och kropp. Hon blir gravid, men komplikationer uppstår och hon får veta att barnet är skadat och inte kommer att överleva. Samtidigt dras Laura in i en uppslukande vänskap med en grannpojke och de båda väninnorna tvingas hantera komplicerade känslor, svåra livsval och ett ifrågasättande av hur livet egentligen skulle bli.

"I envy how naturally she makes use of language; her resistance to ornamentation and artifice; and the almost stoic fortitude with which she dispenses her profound and penetrating knowledge of human nature. What''s more, in this novel, she has impeccable syntactic control, and her ear is sharper than ever before" Valeria Luiselli, GuernicaA shy young Mexican woman moves to Paris to study literature. Cecilia has few friends, and a morbid fascination with watching the funerals taking place in Père-Lachaise cemetery outside her apartment. She suddenly strikes up a close relationship with her neighbour, a sickly young man who shares her interest in death and believes we can communicate with the dead. After coming to entirely depend on him for company and routine, Cecilia is left devastated by his decision to go to Sicily for his health, and is left alone in an unfriendly city once more.Claudio, meanwhile, lives in New York with the submissive, quiet, but very wealthy Ruth. She makes few demands of him, while acquiescing to all his desires and indulging his obsessive, misogynistic nature. He meets Cecilia by chance when visiting a friend in Paris and their two very different worlds collide with transformative consequences.With startling intensity, humour and insight, Nettel conjures a dark fable about obsession, denial and our modern ability to reach out across the globe in search of love.Translated from the Spanish by Rosalind Harvey

Intricately woven masterpieces of craft, mournful for their human cries in defiance of our sometimes less than human surroundings, Nettel's stories and novels are dazzlingly enjoyable to read for their deep interest in human foibles. Following on the critical successes of her previous books, here are six stories that capture her unsettling, obsessive universe. Each narrative veers towards unknown and dark corridors, and the pleasures of these accounts lie partly in the great surprise of the familiarity together with the strangeness.

“This taut, atmospheric novel is an ode to the complicated heartbreak of loving what will forever be just out of reach.” —Laura van den Berg, award-winning author of The Third Hotel Claudio’s apartment faces a wall. Rising from bed, he sets his feet on the floor at the same time, to ground himself. Cecilia sits at her window, contemplating a cemetery, the radio her best companion. In parallel and entwining stories that move from Havana to Paris to New York City, no routine, no argument for the pleasures of solitude, can withstand our most human drive to find ourselves in another, and fall in love. And no depth of emotion can protect us from love’s inevitable loss. “Nettel’s sharp, potent novel depicts how even the briefest relationship can affect the rest of a life.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A luminous writer of dark humor and wild insight. After the Winter is a deeply compassionate story about love, about how hard it is to know another—let alone ourselves—in all our strange glory. Yet, in the end, it is also a story about how essential it is, in spite of the pitfalls, to try.”—Nick Flynn, award-winning author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City “Insightful and painfully poignant…examines the bonds between people, the degrees of intimacy and commitment we allow ourselves and the toll isolation can take upon the soul.” —Glasgow Herald

The first novel to appear in English by one of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed writers of new Mexican fiction. From a psychoanalyst's couch, the narrator looks back on her bizarre childhood—in which she was born with an abnormality in her eye into a family intent on fixing it. In a world without the time and space for innocence, the narrator intimately recalls her younger self—a fierce and discerning girl open to life’s pleasures and keen to its ruthless cycle of tragedy.With raw language and a brilliant sense of humor, both delicate and unafraid, Nettel strings together hard-won, unwieldy memories—taking us from Mexico City to Aix-en-Provence, France, then back home again—to create a portrait of the artist as a young girl. In these pages, Nettel’s art of storytelling transforms experience into inspiration and a new startling perception of reality."Nettel's eye…gives rise to a tension, subtle but persistent, that immerses us in an uncomfortable reality, disquieting, even disturbing—a gaze that illuminates her prose like an alien sun shining down on our world." —Valeria Luiselli, author of Sidewalks and Faces in the Crowd "It has been a long time since I've found in the literature of my generation a world as personal and untransferable as that of Guadalupe Nettel." —Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling "Nettel reveals the subliminal beauty within beings…and painstakingly examines the intimacies of her soul." —Magazine Littéraire “Guadalupe Nettel’s storytelling power is majestic."—Typographical Era In Praise of Natural Histories "Five flawless stories..." —The New York Times “Nettel’s stories are as atmospheric and emotionally battering as Checkhov’s.”—Asymptote

Siamese fighting fish, cockroaches, cats, a snake, and a strange fungus all serve here as mirrors that reflect the unconfessable aspects of human nature buried within us. The traits and fates of these animals illuminate such deeply natural, human experiences as the cruelty born of cohabitation, the desire to reproduce and the impulse not to, and the inexplicable connection that can bind, eerily, two beings together. Each Nettel tale creates, with tightly wound narrative tension, a space wherein her characters feel excruciatingly human, exploring how the wounds we incur in life manifest themselves within us, clandestinely, irrevocably, both unseen and overtly. In a precise writing style that is both subtle and spellbinding, Nettel renders the ordinary unsettling, and the grotesque exquisite. Natural Histories is the winner of the 3rd Ribera del Duero International Award for Short Narratives, an important Spanish literature prize.

One of the most important and watched writers of today.Intricately woven masterpieces of craft, mournful for their human cries in defiance of our sometimes less than human surroundings, Nettel''s stories and novels are dazzlingly enjoyable to read for their deep interest in human foibles. Following on the critical successes of her previous books, here are six stories that capture her unsettling, obsessive universe. "Ptosis" is told from the point of view of the daughter of a photographer whose work involves before and after pictures of patients undergoing cosmetic eye surgeries. In "Through Shades," a woman studies a man interacting with a woman through the windows of the apartment across the street. In one of the longer stories, "Bonsai," a man visits a garden, and comes to know a gardener, during the period of dissolution of his marriage. "The Other Side of the Dock" describes a young girl in search of what she terms "True Solitude," who finds a fellow soul mate only to see the thing they share lose its meaning. In "Petals," a woman''s odor drives a man to search for her, and even to find her, without quenching the thirst that is his undoing. And the title story, "Bezoar," is an intimate journal of a patient writing to a doctor. Each narrative veers towards unknown and dark corridors, and the pleasures of these accounts lie partly in the great surprise of the familiarity together with the strangeness.

When an albatross strays too far from its home, or loses its bearings, it becomes an ‘accidental’, an unmoored wanderer. The protagonists of these eight stories each find the ordinary courses of their lives disrupted by an unexpected event and are pushed into unfamiliar terrain: a girl encounters her uncle in hospital, who was cast out of the family for reasons unknown; a menacing force hovers over a fracturing family on a rural holiday; a couple and their children inhabit a stifling world where it is better to be asleep than awake; a man’s desire for a solution to his marital dissatisfaction has unforeseen consequences. Deft and disquieting, oscillating between the real and the fantastical, The Accidentals is the brilliant new book from International Booker-shortlisted duo Guadalupe Nettel and Rosalind Harvey.

Quizá la crudeza de la realidad vivida a partir de la degradación social y política padecida en las últimas décadas, ha impulsado en escritores jóvenes un notorio interés por tratar las calamidades que subyugan nuestra contemporaneidad. Los escritores que integran esta antología, todos nacidos en la década del setenta, seis hombres y seis mujeres, y todos con una obra ya consolidada pese a su corta edad, abordan la situación actual de México y sus problemáticas sociales y políticas. La idea de una antología como Los pelos en la mano, primera en su tipo en la tradición narrativa mexicana, es precisamente dejar constancia de este nuevo rasgo temático común que caracteriza a esta generación y que, de algún modo, los hace converger dentro del panorama actual de la narrativa mexicana.

"Escribir es como una droga. Se empieza por puro placer y acabas organizando tu vida como los drogadictos, en torno a tu vicio." Esta frase del escritor portugués Antonio Lobo Antunes me llevó a reunir los testimonios de más de cincuentaescritores de diferentes épocas y países sobre su quehacer literario en Gajes del oficio. La pasión de escribir. El lector dispone ahora de estas confesiones en forma de libro, páginas por las que pasan la decisión de dedicarse a la literatura, el deseo de narrar una historia, el miedo al fracaso, la obsesión ante el papel en blanco y, en fin, los demonios interiores que suelen perseguir a los escritores. Leer las confidencias de Así escribo nos revela que dedicarse a la literatura no representa, como la gente comúnmente cree, una vida de libertad y placer. El escritor tiene que luchar continuamente con su voz interior.

En estas cinco narraciones intensas y de atmósfera delicada, Guadalupe Nettel nos propone un cruce de caminos entre el mundo animal y el universo humano para hablar de temas tan naturales como la ferocidad de la vida en pareja, la maternidad "cuando es deseada y cuando no lo es", las crisis existenciales de la adolescencia o los lazos inimaginables que pueden establecerse entre dos enamorados. Su mirada proyecta lo subterráneo y lo secreto de sus personajes, lo anómalo, lo inconfesable.El matrimonio de los peces rojos son espacios magistralmente construidos en los que nos preguntamos cómo y en qué momento se fraguan en nosotros las decisiones más íntimas y soterradas, aquellas que, sin sospecharlo, marcarán de manera definitiva nuestra existencia.El jurado, compuesto por Cristina Grande, Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, Samanta Schweblin, Marcos Giralt Torrente y presidido por Enrique Vila-Matas, valoró en El matrimonio de los peces rojos la alta calidad de su prosa, impecable tensión narrativa y unas atmósferas turbadoras en las que lo anómalo se aposenta en lo cotidiano.

Mexiko City. Sjuttiotalet övergår i åttiotal. I en dysfunktionell familj med två föräldrar som lever ut tidens progressiva ideal försöker en ung flicka hitta sin plats i tillvaron. Berättarjaget, som fötts med en vit fläck på ena ögats hornhinna, utvecklar tidigt en känslighet för det som utspelar sig i periferin. Det är också i sin begränsade syn hon med tiden kommer att finna ett förhållningssätt till sin omvärld och sitt skrivande.Kroppen jag föddes i är en skarp skildring av en barndom och en epok i vår moderna historia, både den amerikanska och den europeiska. Med ett precist språk och distanserad humor berättar Guadalupe Nettel om ett liv i utkanten.
Guadalupe Nettel (född 1973) är en av Mexikos just nu mest tongivande författare och belönades nyligen med det prestigefyllda Herraldepriset. Hennes novellsamlingar och romaner har översatts till flera språk. Kroppen jag föddes i är hennes internationella genombrottsroman.
