"रानगाव... नावाप्रमाणेच रानटी, धूर्त, संधीसाधू कोल्ह्याच्या प्रवृत्तीचे गाव...आणि त्यांच्या गावातच सिंहासारखा बलवान, साहसी असा पापू... ज्याच्या उपकाराखाली संपूर्ण गाव दबलेले...त्याचा धाक, आदर, दरारा सहन न झाल्याने त्याला गावाची 'कार्यकारणी' गाठते आणि ठोठावते शिक्षा मृत्यूदंडाची! आणि हे घडते एका निरागस, लहानग्या 'सालम' समोर...! 'सालम' - 'रानगाव- बारी'च्या देवाचे नाव... आणि पापूच्या मुलाचेही... तोच सालम आता पंधरा वर्षाने परत रानगावला परत आला आहे... ते देखील पापूचे रूप घेऊन...सव्वासहा फूट उंची, भरीव- रुंद खांदे, जणूकाही पोलादी बांधा...आणि यावरही मात करणारे चमकदार हिरवे डोळे... थेट समोरच्या व्यक्तिच्या अंतरंगाचा वेध घेणारे... एकदम पापूसारखे! पण सालम आला तरी का?वडिलांच्या मृत्यूचा सूड घ्यायला?... की आपले लहानपणीचे रानगाव कसे होते या कुतूहलाने? 'मी पहिला वार करणार नाही!' असा शब्द देऊन सालम रानगावासमोर येतो...काय होणार पुढे? 'कार्यकारणी' ठरवणार का दोषी सालमला? की जाळ्यात अडकणार? काय होईल या दोन पिढींच्या संघर्षात? ऐका शिरवळकरांची एक अफलातून कहाणी- सालम- अनिरुद्ध दडकेच्या प्रभावी आवाजात!"

[Spanish] - El crimen de Los Tepames
"Los Tepames, Colima, una pequeña localidad abatida por el crimen, fue testigo del cruento asesinato de los hermanos Suárez; una de las familias más renombradas en dicha comunidad, quienes poseían valiosas tierras peleadas por todos. El encargado de investigar este asesinato es Abel Corona, cuyo profesionalismo lo lleva hasta tocar fondo y enfrentarse a todos los posibles implicados sin importar las consecuencias. 'En el crimen de los hermanos Suárez los malos parecen buenos y los buenos, malos… los odios entre mortales son inmortales, sobre todo si se les alimenta desde la crianza'. Siguiendo la línea de las grandes novelas policiacas, Rogelio Guedea (Premio Internacional de Literatura Calos Montemayor 2012, premio en la Semana Negra de Guijón 2009, Premio Adonáis de Poesía 2008), acompaña al lector a través de las investigaciones de Abel Corona, quien desvela las corruptelas de las autoridades en un pueblo devastado por la injusticia, en donde es mejor quedarse callado o huir. 'Rogelio Guedea es un narrador de sangre fría. Experto en el manejo de la sordidez y conocedor del lenguaje duro que la explica.'—Élmer Mendoza, El Universal 'Rogelio Guedea es un escritor al que de aquí en adelante hay que seguirle los pasos.'—Paco Ignacio Taibo II, El Informador 'Guedea se consolida como uno de los mejores narradores mexicanos.'—Yuri Herrera, La Jornada Semanal"

"Basada en hechos reales que escandalizaron a México hace menos de un lustro, 41 cuenta dos historias paralelas que solo el lector podrá unir a medida que avance en la enigmática intriga. Por un lado, la vida de El Japonés, pequeño habitante de un mundo sórdido donde drogas, violencia intrafamiliar, incesto y pedofilia serán siempre un lugar común. Por el otro, la investigación policial que los ya conocidos judiciales Sabino y Román realizan sobre los misteriosos crímenes perpetrados en contra de homosexuales, entre quienes se encontrará el hermano de un político importante. La búsqueda de pesquisas para dar con el asesino irá abriendo, además, una ventana no solo para mostrar el lado más oscuro de la política mexicana —su corrupción, sus redes de pornografía infantil, sus traiciones y venganzas—, sino también para ponderar, mediante la ironía, el humor negro y hasta el sarcasmo, los agónicos pero aún vivos valores de la amistad y el amor filial. 'Rogelio Guedea es un narrador de sangre fría. Experto en el manejo de la sordidez y conocedor del lenguaje duro que la explica.'—Élmer Mendoza, El Universal 'Rogelio Guedea es un escritor al que de aquí en adelante hay que seguirle los pasos.'—Paco Ignacio Taibo II, El Informador 'Guedea se consolida como uno de los mejores narradores mexicanos.'—Yuri Herrera, La Jornada Semanal"

WINNER OF THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE 2024 An exhilarating and expansive new novel about fathers and sons, faith and friendship from Caleb Azumah Nelson, the no.1 bestselling, award-winning author of Open Water The one thing that can solve Stephen's problems is dancing. Dancing at Church, with his parents and brother, the shimmer of Black hands raised in praise; he might have lost his faith, but he does believe in rhythm. Dancing with his friends, somewhere in a basement with the drums about to drop, while the DJ spins garage cuts. Dancing with his band, making music which speaks not just to the hardships of their lives, but the joys too. Dancing with his best friend Adeline, two-stepping around the living room, crooning and grooving, so close their heads might touch. Dancing alone, at home, to his father's records, uncovering parts of a man he has never truly known. Stephen has only ever known himself in song. But what becomes of him when the music fades? When his father begins to speak of shame and sacrifice, when his home is no longer his own? How will he find space for himself: a place where he can feel beautiful, a place he might feel free? Set over the course of three summers in Stephen's life, from London to Ghana and back again, Small Worlds is an exhilarating and expansive novel about the worlds we build for ourselves, the worlds we live, dance and love within. © 2023 Caleb Azumah Nelson (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

"Brought to you by Penguin. An immersive, kaleidoscopic debut for fans of Homegoing and Pachinko: one family's search for a better life through four continents, four generations and a century of change At the turn of the twentieth century Pirbhai, a teenage boy, is taken from his village in India and travels perilously across the sea to labour on the East African railroad for the British. There, he is given a ruthless order. Following it will ensure his survival. But it will also torment him and reverberate across his family's future for decades to come. During the waning days of British colonial rule, and as Uganda moves towards independence and military dictatorship, Pirbhai's children and grandchildren come of age in a divided nation. In 1972, when Idi Amin's brutal regime expels the Ugandan Asians, the family has no choice but to flee. In the chaos, they leave something devastating and unexpected behind. As Pirbhai's grandchildren find their way back to each other in exile in Toronto, a letter arrives that will stoke the flames of the fire that haunts the family. It makes each generation question how far they are willing to go, and who they are willing to defy, in order to secure their own place in the world. A History of Burning is an unforgettable tour de force, an intimate family saga of complicity and resistance, about the stories we share, what remains unspoken and the eternal search for home. ©2023 Janika Oza (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

"Brought to you by Penguin. A good job, a beautiful wife, a big house in a nice neighbourhood; there's really only one thing missing from the picture: a baby. But motherhood is a serious undertaking, especially for a wife who has always valued her selfhood above all else. And there's also a bigger problem: Temi, the wife's best friend who swears she knows her better than her husband. Set over the course of one day, husband, wife and friend toe the lines of compromise and betrayal. Told in three parts, each voice as compelling as the other, three people's lives, and their visions of themselves and each other begin to slowly unravel, ending with a startling discovery which throws everyone's integrity into question. Full of ambiguity, idiosyncratic wit and a healthy dose of wealth and snobbery THE THREE OF US is part-Black suburban millennial comedy of manners, part-domestic noir and is for readers of MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER by Oyinkan Braithwaite, SUCH A FUN AGE by Kiley Reid, and Sally Rooney. © Ore Agbaje-Williams 2023 (P) Penguin Audio 2023"
