Title: [Spanish] - Las niñas del naranjel

Author: Gabriela Cabezón Cámara

Narrator: Lorena Vega

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 14 minutes

Release date: June 13, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

*Premio Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz 2024* *Premio Ciutat de Barcelona 2023* EN LA LISTA DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO SEGÚN BABELIA Abordaje lírico e irreverente del personaje histórico de la Monja Alférez, que nació en España como niña en 1592 y se sumó travestida como varón a la Conquista de América. «Tan aguda, tan urgente, tan valiente. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara es una de las voces más auténticas escribiendo en español en este momento, y de todos sus talentos hay uno cada día más difícil: no solo hurga y desafía, no solo se anima a la oscuridad, sino que entrega a cambio la subversiva valentía de pensarnos más humanos, más vivos y luminosos que nunca». Samanta Schweblin Para cumplirle a su Virgen del naranjel —lo ha salvado de la horca— Antonio huye con dos niñas famélicas. En la selva, tan viva como un animal hecho de muchos, comienza una carta a su tía, priora del convento del que escapó siendo novicia. Arriero, tendero, soldado, grumete y paje, ha empuñado la espada y hundido la daga. Ahora debe cuidar de una manada y de Michi y Mitãkuña, que lo interrumpen una y otra vez con sus preguntas difíciles. La autora encuentra en Catalina de Erauso, la legendaria Monja Alférez, quien narre la cruel destrucción de América y le permita avanzar contra los géneros. Donde la avaricia colonial destruye, esta novela monumental funda una nueva gramática amorosa en la que el cine de Miyazaki, los rezos en latín, las canciones en vasco y las palabras del guaraní rompen la métrica del Siglo de Oro. Reseñas: «Las niñas del naranjel es una lectura exigente, hay crueldad, sexo y sangre, retuerce el lenguaje y la tradición y ahonda en el sentimiento de soledad del ser humano, además de explorar temas como el género o la colonización de América. [...]. Cabezón Cámara ha escrito una crónica de Indias desde el futuro». Aloma Rodríguez, El Mundo «Las niñas del naranjel es, sin embargo, una novela de una enorme belleza, tanto que en algunos momentos pensé que habría que poner fragmentos en un marco y colgarlos en alguna sala de arte». Patricia Kolesnicov, Infobae «Es una de las más interesantes voces de la literatura argentina actual. Con su nueva novela, Las niñas del naranjel, Gabriela Cabezón Cámera demuestra su calidad como narradora con una historia inspirada en la aventura de Catalina de Erauso, la conocida como Monja Alférez, uno de los pocos personajes femeninos que dio el Siglo de Oro». Víctor Fernández, La Razón «La escritura de Gabriela Cabezón es única en la lengua española: un latido intrépido que nos cimbra y nos desarma ante el poder mudo, a la vez tremendo e inocente, de la selva y las criaturas que retrata». Fernanda Melchor «La poética cautivante de Cabezón Cámara nos demuestra cómo experimentar con la historia puede ser a la vez mágico y áspero». The New York Times «La escritura queer en su momento más emocionante». The Times Literary Supplement

Title: Benang: From the Heart

Author: Kim Scott

Narrator: Gregory Fryer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 19 minutes

Release date: June 12, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award, Winner of the Western Australian Premier's Book Award, Winner of the Kate Challis RAKA Award. Harley, a man of Nyoongar ancestry, finds himself at a difficult point in the history of his country, family and self. As the apparently successful outcome of his white grandfather's enthusiastic attempts to isolate and breed the ‘first white man born', he wants to be a failure. But would such failure mean his Nyoongar ancestors could label him a success? And how can the attempted genocide represented by his family history be told? Oceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, Benang is a novel of celebration and lament, of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilised from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past. ‘Benang is brilliant. It is a mature, complex, sweeping historical novel which will remind people of Rushdie, Carey and Grenville at their best. This is an absolute page turner and in the end we are left with a sense of joy and gratitude that such stories are still possible – that the silence has been broken.' Sydney Morning Herald ‘… Benang soars to the level of superb storytelling with an emotional punch to the guts, not unlike Toni Morrison's Beloved.' Weekend Australian ‘Haunting and poignant, Benang pierces the heart even as it seeks to lance the savage bleeding of the wounds of white settlement in Australia.' Canberra Times

Title: No More Parades

Series: #2 of Parade's End Tetralogy

Author: Ford Madox Ford

Narrator: Rupert Degas

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 42 minutes

Release date: June 4, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them. — W. H. Auden No More Parades is the second of four in Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End tetralogy, a work that Ford hoped would contribute to the obviating of all future wars. The novel follows Christopher Tietjens, a wealthy British landowner and the last British Tory; his unfaithful wife, Sylvia; and his mistress, Valentine Wannop. Highlighting the tension between traditional values and the new reality of a world marred by war, the novel details Tietjens' turmoils in both his personal life and on the warfront—and what follows when those struggles become one and the same. The Parade's End tetralogy privileges not the conflict of World War I itself, but the impact the war had on its participants and upon society writ large. It is often referred to as one of the greatest 20th century novels, and one of the best depictions of war in literature. The 2012 television adaptation, written by Tom Stoppard and starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards and seven BAFTA Television Awards.

Bound by duty; saved by love. When tragedy leaves Fitzwilliam Darcy clinging to life, Elizabeth Bennet sacrifices her dreams to repay the debt owed to her family's damaged savior. But can her compassion penetrate his bitter heart and spark hope again? Beneath Darcy’s aloof bitterness smoulders a broken, vulnerable man stripped of his mobility and purpose. While Elizabeth grapples with this unexpected fate—a marriage of convenience that is proving to be decidedly inconvenient—they discover that they might just be more alike than they are different. As mutual dependence awakens a deep, trusting affection between two defiant hearts, can their blossoming care withstand not only Darcy’s demons, but pressure from a society still expecting them to produce an heir? What fates decree as a marriage of cold duty has the power to transform two contrary souls and lead them to discover the truest liberation—of laughter and joy; partnership and understanding. And above all, the freedom found when true minds and hearts decide to throw off their armour for one another.
