In most generously proportioned and passion of the blood flowing a Bahia, electrifying step of the groups Rio and tremor of Batucada, often improvised at the gates of the hills. That way, you know average, led in Brazil explosions of love, sex, music, poetry and even violence. Thus, among the stories of belonging and longing, in the middle of last century and in the lobby of the years of lead, did the bossa nova, the mixture of jazz with samba rhythms had, between their voices referential, the legendary and revolutionary Vinicius de Moraes (1913-1980).

Poet, film critic and diplomat-turned-singer, was part of a movement that not only transformed the fields of literature and music in their land but aesthetic consumption patterns in other parts of Latin America . Uruguay and Argentina were the countries that benefited from the bossa nova with more force and let the seduction of his songs, stripped of all political content, anchored in the Buenos Aires night in 1968, without finding the slightest hint of resistance. By contrast, in a social context very troubled Vinicius phenomenon with his own manner of singing to life, the erotic, women and friendship (like someone whispering love poems), was a runaway success. Our Vinicius, the Wenner Liana writer and journalist, relates in detail that spell which began when Ediciones de la Flor published his book of poems, To live a love.

"The first edition went to live ... in August 1968, coinciding with the show that gave Caymmi Doryval Vinicius and the Opera Theatre" Wenner says. In just two years of the Flower sold fifteen editions of this title, also exported to Montevideo and Santiago of Chile. "Vinicius published four other works on the same label: For a girl with a flower, Collection of poems, Orpheus of the Conception and the Ark of Noah." Books that published De la Flor was a success and an arming Poetinha real stir when he signed copies and, much later, this occurred on a larger scale in the first Book Fair. "

Diplomacy and alcohol
the 60 entered its last quarter-century. former prosperity of the government of Juscelino Kubitschek, in which Brazil shone in the theater, poetry, art and even in football (with his first world championship), was a thing the past. Twenty years later, the dictatorship of Marshall Costa e Silva announced extreme measures of persecution against thousands of citizens. De Moraes learned the news through the press at a hotel in Lisbon. "That night they Wenner-review function. Before concluding, Vinicius spoke out against the coup within the coup and recited the poem" My Country "as Baden Powell began to pluck the chords of the Brazilian national anthem." Democracy was history, but also his diplomatic career.

Their nocturnal habits and addiction to alcohol kept him away from his duties. The bars over by the Copacabana and the holidays with drink and women until daybreak were incompatible with the work of ministry. "It was common-account without sleep Wenner-had to go to the port of Montevideo to receive a ship that arrived in Brazil." His friend Daniel Terra recalls in the book that sometimes, when the ship arrived, it was up to the plate with "a bottle of whiskey on top." Nor congenial to paternity, although he had five children, was an absent father. He married eight times and there were conflicts of divorce, especially with Bahia Gesse Gessy. The last marriage, "made of fired and missed, it contracted with Argentina Marta Rodríguez Santamaría, thirty-five years younger than him.

A disc alchemical
Article published in the newspaper La Capital
"Happiness," "Irene," "Lament of the Hill" and iconic "Girl from Ipanema" are some of the topics of long play La Fusa, recorded with Toquinho and Maria Creuza. It was an "alchemical disk" which acted as "stone of Enchantment" and ultimately leading to Liana Wenner to write our Vinicius: "An intravenous joy, beauty, eroticism and vitality in a time when the surrounding reality was devastation and the closure of which emanated a strong sense of claustrophobia.

Shortly after his first concert in Buenos Aires, Vinicius was a "living legend." befriended Extremely charismatic intellectual, bourgeois bohemian artists: Daniel Divinsky, María Rosa Oliver, Piri Lugones, the Bambino Veira, Mario Trejo, Egle Martin y Libertad Leblanc, just to name a few. lover of tango, Astor Piazzolla met and Horacio Ferrer, who has in the book that together we write four hands a musical to be called "exiles of the Southern Cross."

Our Vinicius reconstructs the link foreign one, with a different language and alien customs, established with the youth of the time and it worked, in the midst of chaos, as a purifying element. For your editor, Paul Avelluto, speaks of a "cultural universe Buenos Aires who no longer exists," a recovery "La Fusa as a meeting point of different traditions, the people of Mau Mau, the tilingo or" Carlos Perciavalle inventing coffee concert. "

with emotion, Liana Wenner describes the arrival of his poems to the country, his days in Brazil, its women, night areas in which imposed new ways to listen to music and even, when he composed his poems naked the bath, the same place where he was killed at dawn on July 9, 1980.

Data

"I felt indebted to for giving me Vinicius indestructible moments of happiness when I heard the long play La Fusa in my orange plastic record player. That player was in my room, and beauty out there and love were gone. It was the end a decade that started well and ended very, very bad: the seventies, "he says in the preface to Our Vinicius.

Roberto Retamoso, Alma Maritano and Marcelo Scalona
26/08/2010 - "I'm in the other lane of literary objectivism, no I'm interested in people writing away from writing anything that does not own, you do not know what you think, it does not, which does not take, that does not sweat the writer ...", said Marcelo Scalona, \u200b\u200bduring the presentation of his new novel Carrier. The work is the second part of the city library and bank, Homo Sapiens Publishing, led by the author and intended to disseminate local production. The meeting, which attracted a large audience, was the opinion of two experts in narrative: Roberto Maritano Retamoso and Alma.

If futurism, gender mix, black portrait, realism and surrealism is what contains The carrier, which was debated for nearly two hours in a talk presenters, on time, turned around the Maritano summoned to Retamoso from "tort world" recreated by Scalona. "At first," said Retamoso-the story is consistent with the novels of Chandler or Hammett, where the criminal is only the manifestation of social nature, characterized by immorality, corruption and social injustice of the capitalist system " .

According to the critic, at first reading may lead to believe that you have in front of a detective story but then the text exceeds and surpasses the canonical forms of black police "Cobra dyes fantastic the futuristic tale of prophecy, poetic fiction. Thus, it calls into question the realism of all police, especially black. "

LITERARY AND SOCIAL TRAVEL
Retamoso To Maritano and the image of the narrator of The carrier is an "alter ego of author" and his characters have characteristics "Onettian" Scalona added comment that "some similarities" with the character of the novel Life imprisonment, Ricardo Gil Piglia or Wolf, Rodolfo Fogwill building. "Wolf, was an alter ego of Fogwill" he said, referring to the nickname he used the recently deceased writer to sign certain articles made during the last military dictatorship.

Although literary experts who presented Carrier concluded that the story is "a mix of genres," Lilian Neuman, a columnist for the English magazine La Vanguardia says the cover of the book is "a crime novel hard, merciless. A social and literary journey in a city that supports everything (...) the theft, corrupt commissioners negotiated between senior officials, the magic of a melody lost and reckless conspiracy. "

VA FOR MORE HOMO SAPIENS
One most important aspects to emphasize is the quality of the edition: a work of almost 400 pages, sewn (a fact that only looks at the big publishers Buenos Aires) with a cover design, by Emiliano and Edgardo Juarez, who had a strong impact visual, and predicting the intensity of the content.

The first title of the collection Shore City and was the storybook I , Miguel Sedoff. Forthcoming publications to deliver the Editorial Homo Sapiens will be Sebastian Ries, Patricia Suarez, Beatriz Vignoli and Daniel Briguet. No doubt a big bet after the dissemination of local narrative.

As an explosion
the thriller narrative was, originally, a critical discourse to the decadent and corrupt American scene in 1930. Four decades later in Argentina authors such as Juan Carlos Martelli or Rodolfo Walsh also fired their disagreement to a highly politicized context. The story of the crime then, with sequences plausible scenarios and characters dark family operating outside the law, emerges as one of the most solid structures to challenge or simply lay bare the errors of a system.

is no accident that stories about crime mafias and regenerate the interest of readers and other genres survive. Absolute Black Collection, directed by Juan Sasturain, and breaks in the XXI century as a collection of voices that denounce killings and underworld. His latest titles, Blood Kosher, Mary Agnes Krimer and Sacrifice, Leonardo Oyola, offer intrigue in small installments with final messages no less than apocalyptic.

Sacrifice, esotericism orillero
If one of the patterns of gender is to appeal to the reader's intelligence, sacrifice disturbs to the brightest minds. It tells the story of Fatima Sanchez and White Snake, a girl of humble haunted by the tragedies, which over the years developed special powers: it has the ability to predict the future, noting the proximity of danger and communicate with the souls of through the dead birds.

already turned into quite a woman expecting a child of Charles (an outcast who was killed during a clash between gangs Gran Buenos Aires) and must flee his rival, Marabunta, another witch known of the towns of Buenos Aires, who vowed to steal her baby. A former police officer and a young friend from childhood protected, bullets and blood involved, in their frantic escape.

Sacrifice episodes occur between shootouts and chases where Fatima and Marabunta face a struggle to measure and parapsychic earthly powers. Sometimes melee and others, in the distance. "The amount of twists and shocks dark visual effect typical of a class B movie," he says in the foreword Sasturain undead and dark with black humor, strong dose of esotericism riverside and popular mythology, it could be trivial in other hands and in other words. "

Oyola is bold, does not let up or give away spaces. Mix fetishism, elements of nature, human savagery and urban beliefs to represent and generate ghostly scenes distressing feelings worthy of the horror genre. Delivers a relatively ambitious, at times furiously writing, common scenarios and seedy characters and real.

Blood Kosher, cold and criminal story heat
If temperature variations are some of the tracks to establish the contrasts between the police and the classic black, the novel brings together features of both Krimer. The key to permanent fusion of cold and heat lives in the skin of her character, Ruth Epelbaum, a lonely woman, around 50 and obsessed by the white slave trade, which made him lose his job in the file Israeli Society of Entre Rios.

Epelbaum traveled to Buenos Aires and settled in an apartment in Villa Crespo. In the big city, true to the characteristics of black genre, Ruth turns detective when Chiquito Gold unintentionally, knowing the reason for the resignation of his employment in Entre Rios commissioned him to go for the whereabouts of her daughter Deborah, who disappeared without a trace. En route to reveal whether the girl was recruited by a network of procurers or escaped by choice, will go through a succession of dark events in which risk his own life.

Ruth Challenges generate extreme anguish as it advances its mission but it will follow the clues to a cold and formidable intelligence. To reach Deborah penetrate into the world of night, their bodies will pass and enter into relationships with men required, hidden behind a friendly smile, perhaps leading to the real guilty: a personal trainer, an employee of the jewelry missing girl's father, a former officer and even a judge.

According Sasturain, Ruth is more than a detective, a character who has a life full of its own: "It never ceases to be a mine, never ceases to be in Argentina today, living in Villa Crespo, making cakes or traspirar after peeling Fontana judge in the gym, is Jewish all the time and has the years, the body and desire, friends and the points that had or recrossing each so much. "

From
intelligent warmth to the fire Krimer Oyola shocking of the two suspense novels, working with permanent state of tension. Find the guilty player will work in complete complicity with its characters: professionals who arrive at the truth is a matter of life and death, risk or daring, researchers will begin a stubborn pursuit of the murderers tracks, causing more and more deaths. Gone are those classic police detectives to solve the enigma that was almost a game or a logical deduction of disjointed pieces.
