Описание: Sono el telefono y supo que la iban a matar. Lo supo con tanta certeza que se quedo inmovil, la cuchilla en alto, el cabello pegado a la cara entre el vapor del agua caliente que goteaba en los azulejos.
Bip-bip. Se quedo muy quieta, conteniendo el aliento como si la inmovilidad o el silencio pudieran cambiar el curso de lo que ya habia ocurrido.
Bip-bip. Estaba en la banera, depilandose la pierna derecha, el agua jabonosa por la cintura, y su piel desnuda se erizo igual que si acabara de reventar el grifo del agua fria.
Bip-bip. En el estereo del dormitorio, los Tigres del Norte cantaban historias de Camelia la Tejana. La traicion y el contrabando, decian, son cosas compartidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The phone rang and she knew they were going to kill her.
The certainty of it kept her motionless, blade high in the air, hair stuck to her face, a cloud of steam and drops of water cursing down the tiles.
Blip, blip. Frozen, she held her breath as if the stillness, or the silence, could somehow change the course of the past.
Blip, blip. She was sitting in the bathtub, in the middle of shaving her right leg, soapy water rising to her waist, her flesh full of goose-bumps the warm water did nothing to ease.
Blip, blip. In her bedroom, the stereo blasted Los Tigres del Norte singing Camelia la Tejana -betrayal and contraband, they said, are like oil and vinegar. So begins a journey that will transform this innocent barrio beauty into a woman who is tough and powerful enough to write her own rules.

Описание: Literary Aesthetics of Trauma: Virginia Woolf and Jeanette Winterson investigates a fundamental shift, from the 1920s to the present day, in the way that trauma is aesthetically expressed. Modernism`s emphasis on impersonality and narrative abstraction has been replaced by the contemporary trauma memoir and an ethical imperative to bear witness.
A historical novel based on a true story about an amazing early twentieth-century woman. She stood out in a crowd of friends and relatives from Casteltermini, a small town in central Sicily.
Her story sheds light on a little-known segment of a twentieth-century diaspora, a mass-exodus from Europe by some "huddled masses yearning to be free." This oppressed group fled the dire poverty of Sicily and southern Italy to endure a subsistence lifestyle bestowed by the owners of the coal mining industry and early American factories. She was surrounded by a clan of families. They were determined to achieve a better lifestyle through sheer hard work, struggling to overcome hardships and failures on the journey to success. They came with barely the clothes on their back. Eager for work, they spoke no English and were willing to do what the average, better-educated American refused to do.
This amazing woman, Maria, was married to a lackluster, strong-tempered, tough, fearless, uneducated man who never worked a steady job his entire life. She endured a series of traumas---miscarriages and still births, each time berated by her husband for not delivering a healthy child.
Starting at age twelve and until she died, her immediate family was her life. Maria passed her work ethic, her entrepreneurial skills, and her determination to get ahead to her children. Her legacy lives on in the succeeding generation of the clan who were better educated and became doctors, dentists, pharmacists, accountants, attorneys, and professors. Some became entrepreneurs like Maria, owning small and large businesses. There was one common denominator: they inherited the hard work ethic and generosity from their parents.
The story begins in 1915.

The increasing representation of trans identity throughout art and popular culture in recent years has been nothing if not paradoxical. Trans visibility is touted as a sign of a liberal society, but it has coincided with a political moment marked both by heightened violence against trans people (especially trans women of color) and by the suppression of trans rights under civil law. Trap Door grapples with these contradictions. The essays, conversations, and dossiers gathered here delve into themes as wide-ranging yet interconnected as beauty, performativity, activism, and police brutality. Collectively, they attest to how trans people are frequently offered "doors" -- entrances to visibility and recognition -- that are actually "traps," accommodating trans bodies and communities only insofar as they cooperate with dominant norms. The volume speculates about a third term, perhaps uniquely suited for our time: the trapdoor, neither entrance nor exit, but a secret passageway leading elsewhere. Trap Door begins a conversation that extends through and beyond trans culture, showing how these issues have relevance for anyone invested in the ethics of visual culture.

Описание: The typology of syllable and word languages is based on a multi-layered and hierarchically structured phonological model. The main claim is that the phonological make-up of a language depends on the relevance of the prosodic categories– with the syllable and the phonological word being typologically most important. The contributions discuss theoretical issues and provide synchronic and diachronic analyses of (Non-)Indo-European languages.

A work of art 25 years in the making, Under The Covers is a deep dive into the mind of award-winning painter and cartoonist Doug Reina. Absurd, hilarious, and surprisingly touching, its images and words explore the anatomy of a yawn; strange creatures with even stranger, human-like qualities; send-ups of everything our society holds dear; very human moments of introspection; the achingly funny that sometimes accompanies the achingly sad, and so much more. It's a strange and twisty odyssey you won't want to miss.
"Talking heels and Windex bottles spouting on about midlife crisis... It's hard to compare Doug Reina's work to any other artist's -- His visions are brilliant, verging on a madness (that is enviable) yet uniquely his own. We are the lucky beneficiaries of viewing Under the Covers " -- Kelynn Z. Alder, Artist
"Doug Reina's most unusual sketch book with an occasional naked lady." -- Sam Gross, Cartoonist
"Doug Reina's work is eye catching, particularly his outstanding use of color. You can see the fun in his work and it's contagious " -- George Booth, Cartoonist
"I really, really like this book and want it to be published and I want to buy an autographed copy. I love the gags, and the nonsequitors. I laughed out loud more than once -- not just LOL, but really LAUGHED OUT LOUD. I especially love the people that you draw and the observations they have. I can hear their voices in my head, man. The occasional full bleed graphic in between the pen drawings is terrific. It really shows your breadth of achievement. And the book reminds me that you are more than a picture guy, you are a word guy -- a keen observer of the way we look and talk. I found myself really lingering over a lot of the drawings" -- Mike Lynch, Cartoonist
"Clever, funny, silly, artistic, lovely, dark, entertaining...and that was just page 1 This book is a joy to behold and to hold." -- Eddie Brill, Comedian, Actor, Writer, Late Show Producer
"★★★★★ It's absurd. And funny as hell. And weird in all the ways that scratch my itch for weirdness. An absolute treasure." -- Rob Dircks, Audible bestselling author of Where the Hell is Tesla?
About the Artist
Doug Reina has a couple of dogs. And yes, there's a cat, who drives him nuts, as the cat's bossy and gets kind of demanding, which causes Doug to think bad things about the cat. He likes the cat, really, but sometimes it's just so fucking annoying. When Doug explains this to his wife Sue, she looks at Doug and, without even speaking, Doug knows she's going to take the side of the cat. She always does. So, you see, there's real tension in Doug's house.
Doug is also an award-winning painter and cartoonist. He lives in New York with Sue and their son Devon. Find out more and connect at dougreina.com.
