KARINA: LA HERMANA. EL JEFE. LA SOBERANA, a surprising investigation of the enigmatic woman who built up the most unexpected president in the span of a few months by journalist Victoria De Masi, is out now with @penguinlibrosar! 🎉 At just eight years old, Karina Elizabeth Milei sat in the stands of a Lugano soccer field, watching her brother make saves. Her perfect attendance record turned her into the team’s mascot. Many years later, without political training or any experience whatsoever in electoral contests, that same young girl constructed two campaigns. In 2021, she placed her brother at the center of the scene and took him to the National Congress. In 2023, to the Casa Rosada presidential offices. As the president’s Secretary General, she is the leader of La Libertad Avanza, a phenomenon with great global impact that caused profound changes in ways of life after the pandemic. She decoded the demand for a new way of doing politics: from entrepreneurship to social media hate, from intimate connection with animals to post-truth, from the fall of institutional discourse to the fall of the family as society’s organizational nucleus. Karina, also a victim of an abusive father, became the president’s protector, support system, and inseparable counterpart. Lacking the gift of loquacity, she avoids contact with the press. The enigma surrounding her multiplies the questions: does she make state decisions by reading tarot cards? Is she shrewd or is she merely a lucky woman? What are the values that guide her? How ruthless is she? In this surprising investigation, Victoria De Masi—who has covered the Milei family’s vertiginous rise—pierces the secret that surrounds the siblings and describes the discipline and silence with which they build their power like no one has done before. Karina, the Boss, doesn’t speak: she executes. More information: https://www.indentagency.com/karina

Congratulations to Eduardo Salles and @pictoline—“La Vida Secreta de tu Mente” has won an International Emmy for Kids: Factual & Entertainment! 🎉

Congratulations to Cynthia Rimsky, whose novel Clara y confusa (represented on behalf of @anagramaeditor) was awarded the 2024 Herralde Prize! 🎉 On his way to visit a plumbing client who swears he hears water in one of the walls of his house—a phantom leak, because there is no trace of humidity—the narrator stops in front of the window of a cultural center. An artist taking down one of her paintings does something unexpected. Her name is Clara, and the narrator is enraptured by that action, which will become the start of a story of love and codependency with torturous limits. At the same time, the protagonist discovers the shady dealings at the top of the plumbers’ guild, to which he has just been admitted. Light and profound, elusive and solid, hilarious and serious, this completely one-of-a-kind novel that displays a slippery and delightful sense of humor throws us some transcendental questions: what is art? What is its mission? How can we give meaning to life? What is love? Is what happens to us due to destiny or coincidence? Is there logic to chance? The author, a fascinating literary rara avis, presents us with a game that is in no way innocent that begins from the novel’s paradoxical title. All foreign rights are free so far.

NIÑOS DEL PÁJARO AZUL by Karina Pacheco Medrano—winner of the 2022 National Literature Prize in Peru—is out this month with Alfaguara! 🎉 Set in rural areas, lush jungles, and remote villages where indigenous traditions still live on, these stories reflect how political forces—whether state-sponsored or insurgent—condition the lives of their protagonists: children who are surrounded by all kinds of violence and hardship. Through profoundly human stories, the author confronts us with the search for truth in the midst of suffering, inequality, and the fight to survive. A truth that allows the healing memory of those sentenced by injustice to emerge from oblivion. With subtle touches of magical realism and clear, poetic prose, these stories by Karina Pacheco invite us to reflect on a past that, although distant, resonates in the Latin American present in an unsettling way.

Camila Gutiérrez’s new book REGGAETÓN, RELIGIÓN—a backstage look into the world of reggaeton, the 21st century’s most important urban genre and Spotify’s most played genre—is out now with @planetadelibroscl! 🎉 In Reggaetón, religión, Camila Gutiérrez embarks on a journey that begins in Santiago, Chile and passes through multiple locations in America, from Puerto Rico to Colombia, including “polos del perreo” that hosted recitals, gatherings, and parties for the 21st century’s most important urban genre. The characters that parade through the pages of this book begin with the first generation of reggaeton artists that includes Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón, Don Omar, Ivy Queen, and Wisin y Yandel, among others, and end with the latest generations where we can find J Balvin, Rauw Alejandro, or Bad Bunny, passing through Karol G, Anitta, Rosalía, and other internationally recognized proponents of the genre. The author also reviews the national scene in Chile that includes musicians such as Polimá Westcoast, Cris MJ, and Pablo Chill-E, in each instance revealing anecdotes and lyrical analyses that connect the stars that make up this large constellation in a story about Spotify’s most-played genre. Reading this book is walking into a true party, a mind-blowing journey through the peaks and depths of a popular, rebellious culture that has conquered the world.
