Laura's reflections, born from personal experience, are interwoven with raw and honest memories of her family life. Borrowing elements from the Bildungsroman, and pulling from the Latin American short story tradition, Catalina Infante recounts Laura's past in vignettes. Piece by piece, the short chapters come together like a reconstructed vase, bearing its cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1642861596\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781642861594\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Infante, Catalina, Mirabella, Michelle\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: World Editions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"World Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Nov 2025)","offer_id":46080821690565,"sku":"9781642861594","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781642861594.jpg?v=1776040567"},{"product_id":"pedro-the-vast","title":"Pedro the Vast","description":"\u003cb\u003eSimón López Trujillo's \"mind-blowing\" (Gabriela Cabezón Cámara) debut takes readers into a dry and degraded, fire-prone landscape where humanity has encroached a step too far into the natural world, and a deadly fungus mounts its own resistance . . .\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the disorienting, devastatingly tense world of López Trujillo, a eucalyptus farm worker named Pedro starts coughing.

Meanwhile Pedro's kids are left to fend for themselves: the young Cata, whose creepy art projects are getting harder and harder to decipher, and Patricio, who wasn't ready to be thrust into the role of father.

Arturo B. is just one of a motley crew of young bohemians attending Juan Stein's poetry workshop at the University of Concepción when a mysterious newcomer by the name of Alberto Ruiz-Tagle arrives. Though Alberto's taciturn manner, patrician airs, and cold, distant poetry confound the group, he catches the attention of Veronica and Angelica Garmendia, the twin stars of the workshop. When Chile's government is toppled and replaced by a brutal military dictatorship, many of the young poets--among them, the Garmendia sisters--disappear, and Arturo is horrified to learn that Alberto, now revealed to be Carlos Wieder, an air force pilot and a darling of the new regime, may have something to do with it. Wieder's great ambition is to revolutionize Chilean poetry--to mythologize the new order in a spectacle of verse--and he takes to performing his poems in the skies above the Andes, using the sky as his paper and an old Nazi aircraft as his pen. But when Wieder takes his radical art a step too far, he, too, disappears without a trace. Decades later, Arturo, living in exile in Europe, and still preoccupied by the fates of his old classmates, is presented with an opportunity to track Wieder down--a journey that will lead him to one last encounter with the violence of their generation.
