Borges y Bioy Casares compartieron cincuenta años de amistad literaria, buena parte de los cuales los pasaron encerrados, escribiendo juntos. Eran el mismo otro: un tercer escritor, inasimilable a uno tanto como al otro, profundamente excéntrico. De ahí que Bustos Domecq y Suárez Lynch -los alias con que formalizan la existencia del Tercer Escritor- sean algo más que seudónimos. Son escritores de derecho, tan autores como los autores que los inventaron. En ese otro llamado Bustos Domecq o Suárez Lynch descubrieron la posibilidad prematura, y por eso doblemente fascinante, de esa experiencia de balbuceo, inestabilidad y desequilibrio que Adorno llamó "estilo tardío", y que los artistas, según él, sólo alcanzaban una vez que eran dueños absolutos de sus medios artísticos. El estilo tardío es el malestar hecho estilo, una suerte de implosión que sacude la obra y la vuelve contra sí misma, al precio incluso de liquidarla. Esa obra maestra enferma, irreconocible para sí misma, Adorno decía que sólo podía aparecer al final de algo. Con la obra del Tercer Escritor, Borges y Bioy demostraron que también podía aparecer en el medio, en una zona de pasaje, que la pasión política podía ser su motor activo, el chiste al cuadrado su lógica de vértigo y la risa su signo, su huella digital y su música. Del prólogo de Alan Pauls

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense.

Jackie Howard returns to the Walter ranch after a summer in New York. She needed space―and got it. But she doesn't know where things stand with her and Cole Walter after that goodbye kiss. Over the summer, she stopped texting him. She never stopped thinking about him. Still, with Cole living off in town to work at Tony's garage before he heads off to college, Jackie thinks it'll be easy to avoid him―only to find that when she sees him face to face at last, it's, well... impossible to resist him. Things are getting complicated: he's the boy she can't get off her mind, and the Walters have become the family she loves and needs.
