About this listen
La historia de amor entre Qüity, una cronista de la sección policial de un diario, y Cleopatra, una travesti que ha abandonado la prostitución desde que se le aparece la Virgen. Siguiendo sus consejos, organiza en la villa El Poso, donde viven, una feliz utopía.
«Una de las novelas más aptas a esta efervescencia social de la lengua, y también más bellas y agudas.» (Silvia Hopenhayn)
Exuberante y desbocada, barroca y veloz, exquisita y barriobajera es esta novela. "Pura materia enloquecida de azar", como pensaba que era la vida Qüity, la periodista locuaz que termina enamorada de Cleopatra, una travesti carismática entregada al plan salvador que le dicta la Virgen. Del conurbano bonaerense a Miami, esta santísima y plebeya trinidad, sus hijos, amigos y vecinos encarnarán una rebelión popular y sagrada, villera y delirante. Pero ni los milagros, ni la celebración, ni la música que revienta los pasillos de El Poso protegerán a esta utopía fiestera, anticlasista y transgénero.
Publicada por primera vez en 2009, La Virgen Cabeza impactó fuerte en el panorama de la literatura nacional. ¿De quién era esa voz personalísima que inscribía su lengua entre la Odisea, la cumbia, el canon argentino y el romancero español? Desmesurada, su autora, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, obtuvo inmediatamente el elogio unánime de la crítica y el favor de los lectores hacia su proyecto: una revolución en pleno apogeo.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Radiante, luminoso. El desierto es un prisma de perros, cardos, polvo y cielo. La China Iron acompaña a Liz, una inglesa que va tras su marido llevado por la leva. Ella, en cambio, no busca a Martín Fierro, ese gaucho que se la ganó en un partido de truco. La China escapa. Y es su viaje exploración: de la textura de la seda, del sabor del té, del sofoco en que estalla el sexo. Descubre palabras. Sonidos nuevos para cosas que antes no existían.

Story
Una no ficción atípica que combina percepciones y recuerdos personales con la investigación de tres femicidios en el interior de la Argentina durante la década del 80 y que revelan, de modo sutil, la ferocidad del machismo y la indefensión de las mujeres pobres. Tres asesinatos entre los cientos que no alcanzan para titulares de tapa ni convocan a las cámaras de los canales de Buenos Aires. Tres casos que llegan desordenados: los anuncia la radio, los conmemora un diario de pueblo, alguien los recuerda en una conversación.

Story
Casi cinematográficamente; El viento que arrasa es una novela en la que los personajes son nítidos; corpóreos; se escuchan sus voces; sus modos. Y los del pasaje: el monte; el sol fuerte; los árboles achaparrados; los autos rotos; las camisas transpiradas y las vidas destruidas.

Story
El mundo de Mariana Enriquez no tiene por qué ser el nuestro, y, sin embargo, lo termina siendo. Bastan pocas frases para pisarlo, respirarlo y no olvidarlo gracias a una viveza emocional insólita. Con la cotidianidad hecha pesadilla, el lector se despierta abatido, perturbado por historias e imágenes que jamás conseguirá sacarse de la cabeza.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
