Charco Press informatie en boeken
Charco Press is een Schotse uitgeverij gevestigd in Edinburgh die is gespecialiseerd in Latijns Amerikaanse romans en andere literatuur in Engelse vertaling. Charco betekent ‘plas’ in het Spaans. Het is ook een uitdrukking die in sommige Latijns-Amerikaanse landen wordt gebruikt om de Atlantische Oceaan mee aan te duiden. Cruzar el charco betekent dus ‘de plas oversteken’ en is een manier om aan te duiden wanneer iemand naar het buitenland gaat en met name als deze persoon naar een ander continent reist.

In a small village in the Swiss Alps, in the aftermath of World War II, particle physics and psychiatry grapple with a forever changed world. Nicholas walks the wooded path between the sanitarium where he works and his home, alert to a possible menace lurking in the trees, haunted by the possibility of an evil just out of sight.

Jasmina has been hired by her maybe-boyfriend to restore his family home, a grubby, abandoned time capsule where a great artist once lived.

On land where enslaved people were once tortured and murdered, the state built a penal colony in the wilderness, where inmates could be rehabilitated, but never escape. Now, decades later, and having only succeeded in trapping men, not changing them for the better, its operations are winding down.

Spaanse roman
Origineel: Cauterio (2022)
Uitgever: Charco Press
Verschijnt: 29 april 2025
Fantasies, or are they premonitions, of a great wave, an impending apocalypse, threaten to swamp a young woman in a slowly curdling relationship in Barcelona. From the outside it all looks good: ‘we have friends who design jewellery, who make politically committed electronic art, who are concerned about their mobile devices being monitored, who talk about climate change’. However, her discontent means she’s not living up to her part of the bargain…lees verder >
Roque Larraquy (Argentinië) – The National Telepathy
Argentijnse roman
Origineel: La telepatía nacional (2020)
Uitgever: Charco Press
Verschijnt: 18 februari 2025
In September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to businessman Amado Dam, intended for Argentina’s first Ethnographic Theme Park. Unexpected among the human cargo is an artefact harbouring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret: the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. What ensues is a raucous satire of men’s fear of women’s bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of so-called civilisation, and the way class and race obscure identities when the observer is a man with power…lees verder >
José Eustasio Rivera (Colombioa) – The Vortex

Uitgever: Charco Press
Verschijnt: 3 december 2024
The Vortex follows the young poet Arturo Cova and his lover, Alicia, as they elope from Bogotá and embark on an adventure through Colombia’s varied and magical landscapes. When Alicia—pregnant, jealous, and more than a little fed up—disappears, it’s up to Arturo, and his unstoppable ego, to follow and win her back. From the cattle ranches of the llanos to the dense jungle of the rainforest, accompanied by hucksters, cowboys, desperate souls, and a terrifying tide of ants, Arturo pursues his bride-to-be, and becomes an inadvertent witness to the appalling conditions suffered by workers forced or tricked into tapping rubber trees…lees verder >
