Hardback. Condizione: Good. Winner of the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award National Book Foundation Science + Literature Selection Finalist for New American Voices Award and Lammy Award for Bisexual Nonfiction A TIME, NPR, Chicago Public Library, Science for the People, WYNC, WBUR Radio Boston, and The Stacks Podcast Best Book of the Year Longlisted for the PEN Open Book Award As heard on Fresh Air Growing up in a New Jersey factory town in the 1980s, Daisy Hernandez believed that her aunt had become deathly ill from eating an apple. No one in her family, in either the United States or Colombia, spoke of infectious diseases. Even into her thirties, she only knew that her aunt had died of Chagas, a rare and devastating illness that affects the heart and digestive system. But as Hernandez dug deeper, she discovered that Chagas-or the kissing bug disease-is more prevalent in the United States than the Zika virus. After her aunt's death, Hernandez began searching for answers. Crisscrossing the country, she interviewed patients, doctors, epidemiologists, and even veterinarians with the Department of Defense. She learned that in the United States more than three hundred thousand people in the Latinx community have Chagas, and that outside of Latin America, this is the only country with the native insects-the "kissing bugs"-that carry the Chagas parasite. Through unsparing, gripping, and humane portraits, Hernandez chronicles a story vast in scope and urgent in its implications, exposing how poverty, racism, and public policies have conspired to keep this disease hidden. A riveting and nuanced investigation into racial politics and for-profit healthcare in the United States, The Kissing Bug reveals the intimate history of a marginalized disease and connects us to the lives at the center of it all.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. "Writing in a fervently literary style that flirts openly with the traditions of Salinger, Plath, and Fitzgerald, Hernandez is a diamond-sharp satirist and a bracingly fresh chronicler of the heartbreak of trying to grow up. Honest and absurd, funny and tragic, wild and lovely, this novel describes modern coming-of-age with poetic precision."* The Devil Wears Prada meets The Bell Jar in this story of a wide-eyed Ivy League grad who discovers that his dream of "making it" at leading New York City fashion magazine Regine may well be his undoing. Elian San Jamar knew from childhood that he was destined for a better life than the one his working-class multiracial parents share in Texas-a life inspired by Regine's pages. A full ride to Yale opens the door to a more glamorous world, and he quickly befriends Madeline and Dorian, both scions of incredible wealth and privilege. With their help, he reinvents himself, and after four decadent years he graduates as Ethan St. James. But reality hits hard when Ethan arrives at Regine and is relegated to the lowest rung of the ladder. Mordantly funny and emotionally ruthless, An Innocent Fashion is the saga of a true millennial-naive, idealistic, struggling with his identity and sexuality-trying to survive in an industry, and in a city, notorious for attracting new graduates only to chew them up and spit them out. Oscillating between melodrama and whip-smart sarcasm, pretentiousness and heartbreaking vulnerability, increasingly disillusioned with Regine and Madeline and Dorian, Ethan begins to unravel. As the narratives of his conflicted childhood, cloistered collegiate experience, and existential crisis braid together, this deeply moving coming-of-age novel for the twenty-first century spirals toward a devastating realization: You can follow your dreams, but what happens if your dreams are just not enough? *Kirkus Reviews (starred).…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. «Mi historia se entrelaza con la de una multitud de personajes bastante complejos y pertenecientes a todos los ámbitos, cuento con mucha información que le servirá para completar sus investigaciones. Temo por mi vida. No sé cuál sea mi destino, mi vida está en manos de Dios, pero debo descargar toda la información que he acumulado antes de que algo me pase.» - Celeste V. Tras publicar Emma y las otras señoras del narco y convocar a romper el pacto de impunidad dentro de los cárteles de la droga, Anabel Hernández recibió un inquietante mensaje. Mujeres y hombres respondieron al llamado, revelando los secretos del mundo en el que han vivido.  Es así como Celeste, quien durante más de una década fue pareja sentimental de Arturo Beltrán Leyva, se convierte en la guía de un viaje por el infierno donde ella vivió y conoció a los jefes de la droga más temidos de los últimos tiempos. Por medio de un testimonio descarnado y sin censura, el lector sube a una montaña rusa y hace un recorrido por el inframundo del narcotráfico. En diversas partes del trayecto, junto con los jefes de la droga, aparecen funcionarios públicos, empresarios y políticos en reuniones, llamadas telefónicas y grabaciones. En otros tramos, se ve caminar con tacones altos a decenas de mujeres cuya presencia motiva y perpetúa la maquinaria criminal. Celeste no solo abunda en detalles sobre las famosas Ninel Conde y Galilea Montijo y su vínculo con Arturo Beltrán Leyva, sino que revela la interacción de otras famosas como Mariana Ríos, Dorismar, Betty Monroe, Karla Luna, Karla Panini, Patricia Navidad o la socialité Violeta Vizcarra, una de las encargadas de enganchar a las famosas para llevarlas ante el líder de los Beltrán Leyva. En el último tramo, la autora explora infiernos paralelos al de Celeste, incluyendo el propio. Asiste al juicio contra Genaro García Luna en Nueva York, donde se encuentra con su esposa Linda Cristina Pereyra. Y, finalmente, se adentra en los núcleos familiares de los Chapitos, cuyo momento criminal está en auge. «El infierno en el que ellas "aman" es el mismo que nos consume como sociedad y nación. Es a través de las señoras del narco y su interacción con los jefes de la droga que puede derribarse la barrera y no solo conocer los perfiles criminales, sino la psique de quienes comandan.»   ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "My story is entangled with that of a multitude of quite complex characters coming from all walks of life, I have a lot of information that will help you complete your investigations. I fear for my life. I don''t know what my destiny holds, my life is in God''s hands, but I must handover all the information I have accumulated before something happens to me." -CELESTE V. After publishing Emma and Other Narco Women and calling to break all impunity pacts within the drug cartels, Anabel Hernández received a disturbing message. Men and women responded to the call, revealing many secrets of the world in which they have lived. This is how Celeste, who was Arturo Beltrán Leyva''s partner for over a decade, becomes the guide on a journey through the hell where she lived and where met the most feared drug lords of recent times. With her raw, candid, and uncensored testimony, the reader takes a roller coaster ride through the underground world of drug trafficking. In various parts of the journey, alongside the drug bosses, we see many public officials, businessmen, and politicians engaging either in meetings, phone calls, or recordings. In other sections, we see dozens of women in high heels whose presence motivates and perpetuates the criminal machinery. Celeste not only goes into details about celebrities like Ninel Conde and Galilea Montijo and their relationship with Arturo Beltrán Leyva, but also reveals interactions by other celebrities such as Mariana Ríos, Dorismar, Betty Monroe, Karla Luna, Karla Panini, Patricia Navidad and socialite Violeta Vizcarra, who was tasked with enticing the famous women to take them to the leader of the Beltrán Leyva group. In the last section, the author explores other infernos parallel to Celeste''s, including her own. She attends the trial against Genaro García Luna in New York, where she meets his wife, Linda Cristina Pereyra. And, lastly, she delves into the family nuclei of El Chapo Guzman''s four sons, whose criminal dealings are on the rise. «The hell in which they live, and "love" is the same one that consumes us as a society and nation. It is through the women of Narcoland and their interaction with the drug bosses that we are able to break down those barriers and not only get to know the criminal profiles, but the psyche of those who oversee it all.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A woman keeps her daughters safe in the wake of war and political trauma in Central and Latin America.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. It's the early 2010s, and seventeen-year-old Yesenia Rivera hates everything about herself: her brown skin and wide nose, her curly hair and hand-me-down clothing, and her inability to fit in with either the Mexican girls or the white girls at her school. So when her mother's new job requires them to uproot their lives and move to the Pacific Northwest, Yesenia devises a plan to remake herself completely. Cloaked in skin lightening cream, blue contact lenses, dyed-blonde hair, and a "whiter" name, Yesenia's-aka Jessie's-newfound ability to pass as white in her new school gets her the popularity she's always dreamed of. Yet as her brazen confidence morphs into hubris, all it takes is a couple of slip-ups for someone to take notice. Guillermo Rivera--aka Willy, an easier-to-pronounce nickname bestowed upon him by his classmates--is no stranger to sticking out at their predominantly white high school, right down to his too-small wrestling shoes. Bothered by how little he's able to help his low-income mother and seduced by the prospect of financial stability, he reluctantly settles into a flattened, stereotyped version of himself in exchange for being needed by his white peers. But when selling to Jessie's new friends pushes him farther out of his comfort zone and, dangerously, into theirs, both he and Jessie begin to suffer the mounting cost of what whiteness demands of them. The more they're forced together, the more their tenuously crafted double lives threaten to crumble. Until one day, when those lives collide . . .…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. It's the early 2010s, and seventeen-year-old Yesenia Rivera hates everything about herself: her brown skin and wide nose, her curly hair and hand-me-down clothing, and her inability to fit in with either the Mexican girls or the white girls at her school. So when her mother's new job requires them to uproot their lives and move to the Pacific Northwest, Yesenia devises a plan to remake herself completely. Cloaked in skin lightening cream, blue contact lenses, dyed-blonde hair, and a "whiter" name, Yesenia's-aka Jessie's-newfound ability to pass as white in her new school gets her the popularity she's always dreamed of.

Guillermo Rivera--aka Willy, an easier-to-pronounce nickname bestowed upon him by his classmates--is no stranger to sticking out at their predominantly white high school, right down to his too-small wrestling shoes. Bothered by how little he's able to help his low-income mother and seduced by the prospect of financial stability, he reluctantly settles into a flattened, stereotyped version of himself in exchange for being needed by his white peers. But when selling to Jessie's new friends pushes him farther out of his comfort zone and, dangerously, into theirs, both he and Jessie begin to suffer the mounting cost of what whiteness demands of them. The more they're forced together, the more their tenuously crafted double lives threaten to crumble. Until one day, when those lives collide . . .…
