Horacio's verhaal
Een auteur van wereldklasse.’– Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Horacio’s verhaal kent een keur aan ontroerende personages: Horacio zelf in de eerste plaats, zijn vrouw en zes meisjes, zijn onstuitbare en onbeschofte enige zoon, een reeks schoonzussen,zijn zwager, zijn broer-de-schrijver en zijn koopmansbroer. En dan zijn daar nog zijn twee koeien en de kalfjes, maar ook de sinaasappelbomen die schaduw bieden aan zijn Volkswagen van vage herkomst, en tientallen zorgvuldig bewaarde oude spullen – sommige spullen. Terwijl Horacio zijn laatste dagen tegemoet ziet, omringd door iedereen en alles, blijft zijn zwager zich verbazen: ‘Hoe is het mogelijk dat iemand zo hangt aan waar hij tegelijkertijd doodsbang voor is,’ verwijzend naar Horacio’s levenslust ondanks alles. In Horacio’s verhaal, dat overloopt van vitaliteit, draait het leven om de kracht van familierelaties en die van de natuur, van het begin tot het onomkeerbare einde.

Vista del abismo
El libro de cuentos que confirma a Tomás González, ganador del Premio Iberoamericano de Narrativa Manuel Rojas 2025, como uno de los narradores esenciales de la literatura en español. «Heredero de la literatura del boom, Tomás González añade a ella una mirada cosmopolita y un sentido del humor que lo hacen diferente. Un escritor sorprendente'. - Julio LlamazaresParejas avasalladas por la pasión pero que no soportan vivir juntas. Maridos que huyen para mimetizarse con su jardín. Muertos a los que no dejan ir o no quieren irse. Gemelos enamorados de la misma mujer. Difuntas que a punta de ser mosquitas muertas terminan mandando al marido directo al suicidio. Un esposo y un amante que son cordiales entre sí a fuerza de costumbre. Ahogados, casi ahogados y matrimonios sepultados por una casa. Una represa que cuando pierde agua deja al descubierto un antiguo pueblo ya enterrado, y que sirve como leitmotiv a todo el conjunto. El extraordinario abanico de personajes de estos relatos --sobrecogedores y contundentes, pero también irónicos y cargados de humor-- es una buena muestra de la infinidad de matices que Tomás González logra retratar cuando se asoma al abismo de la existencia, en donde la naturaleza, con sus destellos de gozo y sus pesares, es tan enrevesada como la vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe book of short stories that confirms Tomás González, winner of the 2025 Manuel Rojas Ibero-American Narrative Prize, as one of the essential storytellers in Spanish-language literature. "Heir to the literature of the boom, Tomás González adds to it a cosmopolitan outlook and a sense of humor that set him apart. A surprising writer." --Julio Llamazares Couples overwhelmed by passion, but who cannot bear to live together. Husbands who flee to blend in with their gardens. Dead people who are not allowed to leave or do not want to leave. Twins in love with the same woman. Deceased women who, by pretending to be dead, end up driving their husbands straight to suicide. A husband and a lover who are cordial to each other out of habit. Drowned, nearly drowned, and marriages buried by a house. A dam that, when it loses water, reveals an ancient buried village, which serves as leitmotif for the entire collection. The extraordinary range of characters in these stories--haunting and forceful, but also ironic and full of humor--is a good example of the infinite nuances that Tomás González manages to portray when he looks into the abyss of existence, where nature, with its flashes of joy and sorrow, is as convoluted as life itself.

Der Untergang des Pazifiks
Weil sie zu viel Süssigkeiten gegessen hatte, wird Ignacios 92-jährige Mutter krank und wünscht sich, vor ihrem Tod noch einmal die aus dem Wasser springenden Wale an der pazifischen Küste zu sehen. Also macht sich Ignacio, ein Arzt aus dem Landesinnern, mit der ganzen Familie auf in den Chocó, die vernachlässigte, kaum bekannte, geheimnisvolle Provinz Kolumbiens, in der das Meer, der Strand, der Himmel und der Regen mit dem Urwald eins sind.In diesem Ambiente erleben sie die Macht und Schönheit der Natur und daneben die Armut der Menschen, die Gesetzlosigkeit und die tägliche Gewalt von Militär, Paramilitärs, Drogenbanden.In der Erinnerung rekapituliert Ignacio seine Familiengeschichte und zugleich die leidvolle Geschichte seines Landes. Es ist kein linear erzählter, sondern - in Joycescher Manier - ein sich in Kreisen bewegender Roman. Ein Werk voller Lebenskraft, Sinnlichkeit, Melancholie, Weisheit und Humor.Alles, was Ignacio in der fremden Welt des Chocó sieht und erlebt, ist ursprünglich und wesentlich: der 'unermessliche Reichtum ihres Urwalds, das satte Grün ihrer Bananenstauden, ihre Buchten und Gewitterblitze, ihre vom Wasser aufgequollenen und vom Wind gespaltenen Schiffe, ihre Reiher und Mangrovensümpfe, ihre uferlosen Wolkenbrüche.' Und klar, griffig und wesentlich ist der Stil des Autors - die reife Sprache eines Klassikers zu Lebzeiten. Wesentlich auch die Erkenntnisse im Urwald 'über das, was es jenseits des Jenseits gibt; was auf den Tod folgt oder nicht folgt und über die letztlich vollkommene Bedeutungslosigkeit von allem Gewesenen, denn das einzig Wichtige und Existente ist die Gegenwart.'

Fog at Noon
"One of South America's most acclaimed and pitch-perfect novelists, González plunges you into the brutality of man and nature alike." -- Kerri Arsenault A perceptive whodunnit set in the shimmering mountain ranches of Colombia, told by a bewitching cast of potential perpetrators What happens when a person goes missing? Told from alternating perspectives, Fog at Noon offers readers the chance to methodically decipher the story of Julia. A conceited "ninny," somewhat-gifted poet, ravishing temptress, and thorny friend, Julia shapeshifts and sparkles in the blinding light of conflicting narrative. Her raconteurs? A frequently fishy chorus of acquaintances, lovers, sisters-in-law, and friends. And from behind the veil, Julia speaks for herself. Tomás González writes of the passionate origins of an affair and its precipitous conclusion, of untraceable debts and the liminal realms between the living and the dead, of New York in a blizzard and the Colombian mountain chains cloaked in fog. Chapter by chapter, each narrator's story reveals more of Julia's past, and the tangled love affairs and financial snarls that tie these figures to each other illuminate not just Julia's absence, but our own human foibles. Readers will be reminded of the propulsive mysteries of Big Little Lies, as much as the incisive literary works of Domenico Starnone, Michael Ondaatje, and Juan Gabriel Vásquez. Andrea Rosenberg's translation gleams in every line, as we are lured deeper into the elusive world of Fog at Noon.
