NOVEDADES

The riveting new novel by the author of the 2021 National Book Award winner and bestseller Hell of a Book People Like Us is Jason Mott’s electric new novel. It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason’s life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and don’t let go, from the ability to time travel to sightings of sea monsters and peacocks, and feelings of love and memory so real they hurt. In People Like Us, two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world that is riven with gun violence. One is on a global book tour after a big prize win; the other is set to give a speech at a school that has suffered a shooting. And as their two storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure: characters drink booze out of an award trophy; menaces lurk in the shadows; tiny French cars putter around the countryside; handguns seem to hover in the air; and dreams endure against all odds.

A woman can be great, and terrible too. Evelina Westerly has always been the bad guy. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her family's drug empire, she's her father's ruthless secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister's murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn't have time for anything else. Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, she's sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways. That is, until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey...under a totally different name. But Nicholas Woodsworth's real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. He's an undercover DEA agent, and he's hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realizes the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he's been fantasizing about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust. Evelina embodies everything he's against, and he's been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about the darkness in each other's hearts, the more alike they seem, and when hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he can love a wretched woman, even if it means bringing both of their lives to ruin.

Lo único que Lexi quiere es vivir una noche loca con un desconocido. Zeke, por el contrario, lo que busca es amor. Cuando se conocen en un pub y saltan chispas entre ellos, un beso los conduce a otro, y a otro... y, finalmente, al puerto. A la mañana siguiente, aún con resaca y todavía en shock por la noche increíble que acaba de vivir, Lexi está lista para que Zeke se marche. Sin embargo, hay un problema: la corriente ha arrastrado mar adentro la casa flotante en la que se alojaron. Y, conforme las provisiones empiezan a escasear y el oleaje se intensifica, Zeke y Lexi no tardarán en darse cuenta de que se están jugando mucho más que el corazón.

Serena Paris es huérfana y no pertenece a ninguna manada. No hay otra como ella. Su comparecencia en público como la primera híbrida entre humano y licántropo debería haber puesto fin a siglos de desavenencias entre las especies.

Ahora que sus enemigos estrechan el cerco sobre ella, solo le queda una salida... Si él está dispuesto a aceptarla. Como alfa de la manada del noroeste, Koen Alexander está acostumbrado a que lo obedezcan. Tal es su autoridad que solo un necio se atrevería a amenazar a su compañera. Da igual que Serena no sienta lo mismo por él, nada le impedirá mantenerla a salvo. Sin embargo, los vampiros y los licántropos sedientos de poder no son los únicos que persiguen a Serena. Tarde o temprano, su pasado le dará alcance, y puede que Koen sea el único capaz de evitar su aniquilación.

El baile y la poesía se abrazan, envolviéndose en musicalidad, cadencia y gracia. Comparten un trozo de espacio y de tiempo, los devoran y nada escapa de su hambre eterna de sonido y movimiento. El baile inmortaliza la interacción entre el hombre y la dama, en el mutuo consenso de girar en el viento cargado de fuego y melodías. El poeta, al igual que un caballero, debe invitar a la poesía y, con su venia, el poema fluye, late su corazón, le brotan carne y huesos, respira y baila.
