Paperback. Condition: Good. «Quién sabe, me dije, si no existía entre madres e hijos una frecuencia exclusiva para ondas que no han sido descubiertas.» Un deber familiar ha sido postergado durante décadas por el escritor protagonista de esta novela: contar la excepcional historia de sus abuelos y de su madre, cuyos orígenes se remontan a inicios del siglo XX en la Amazonía peruana. Ahora,con su madre próxima a cumplir noventa años, siente que ha llegado el momento de saldar esa deuda. Así es como Mamita cobravida, una novela que entrelaza dos relaciones íntimas: la memoria del amor filial y el proceso mismo de escritura. A través de recorridos citadinos, evocaciones de la selva y reflexiones metaliterarias, el hijo escritor indaga en la naturaleza de sus vínculos familiares, las tensiones sociales y raciales que los atraviesan y la huella imborrable de la muerte. Al mismo tiempo, se enfrenta a los desafíos del oficio novelesco para capturar aquello que el tiempo suele volver irrecuperable. Gustavo Rodríguez nos entrega una de sus novelas más personales y reflexivas. Una memoria familiar que es también una exploración sobre la creación literaria. Un juego de espejos donde resplandece la prosa fresca, ingeniosa y confesional de una de las voces más representativas de la narrativa hispanoamericana contemporánea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Who knows, I said to myself, if there isn't an exclusive wave frequency between mothers and her children that has yet to be discovered." The protagonist writer of this novel has postponed a very important family duty for decades: to tell the exceptional story of his grandparents and his mother, whose origins trace back to the early 20th century in the Peruvian Amazon. Now, with his mother nearing her ninetieth birthday, he feels the time has come to settle that debt. This is how Mamita comes to life--a novel that intertwines two intimate relationships: the memory of the love between parents and their kids and the very process of writing. Through walks around the city, recollections from the Amazon jungle, and metafictional reflections, the writer-son explores the nature of his family ties, the social and racial tensions that permeate them, and the indelible mark of death. At the same time, he confronts the challenges of the novelist's craft in capturing what time so often renders irretrievable. Gustavo Rodríguez delivers one of his most personal and contemplative novels yet. A family memoir that is also an exploration into literary creation. A hall of mirrors where the fresh, witty, and confessional prose of one of the most representative voices in contemporary Spanish American fiction shines.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Friendship makes life worth living, and worth ending too.Eufrasia Vela is a caregiver-it's not just her job. But when she begins working with Doña Carmen, a bedridden elderly woman who spends her days staring out the window at her now-obstructed view of the sea, she confronts the limits to her ability to help. That is, until Doña Carmen makes a big, last request: to transform her caretaking from helping her stay alive to helping her die. A good death has much in common with a good life, after all, and incapacity, loneliness, and isolation are devastations that a compassionate friend can help ease. Dignity, community, respect, and generosity-they're what Eufrasia offers her clients, and what their friendship offers her. One Hundred Guinea Pigs is the lifegiving, warmhearted novel about euthanasia you didn't know you needed.…
