NEW AUDIOBOOK TITLE
Jordan Castro’s premier novel hits the shelves and your earphones on June 14th, 2022 with yours truly providing the narration.
From Penguin Random House:
In Jordan Castro’s inventive, funny, and surprisingly tender first novel, we follow a young man over the course of a single morning as he tries and fails to write an autobiographical novel, finding himself instead drawn into the infinite spaces of Twitter, quotidian rituals, and his own mind.
The act of making coffee prompts a reflection on the limits of self-knowledge; an editor’s embarrassing tweet sparks rage at the literary establishment; a meditation on first person versus third examines choice and action; an Instagram post about the ethics of having children triggers mimetic rivalry; the act of doing the dishes is at once ordinary and profound: one of the many small commitments that make up a life of stability.
The Novelist: A Novel pays tribute to Nicholson Baker’s The Mezzanine and Thomas Bernhard’s Woodcutters, but in the end is a wholly original novel about language and consciousness, the internet and social media, and addiction and recovery.

Destiny of Desire
By Karen Zacarías
Directed by José Luis Valenzuela
An unapologetic telenovela in two acts
In Karen Zacarías’s hilarious, provocative and revolutionary send-up of the telenovela genre, women take power over their futures, their families, and their destinies. Love and betrayal overflow amid a vibrant cast of classic Mexican telenovela characters, with nods to Shakespeare’s comedies and Brecht’s epic theatre. Two girls—one rich but sickly, one poor and healthy—are switched at birth by a scheming beauty queen. Eighteen years later, things fly apart when the two women meet, become friends and fall for men they are forbidden to love. José Luis Valenzuela directs this smart, effervescent musical production, with an ensemble cast featuring Vilma Silva, Catherine Castellanos, and Armando Durán.
