Sinopse

Espacio vital —publicado originalmente como Elbow Room en 1977— es el epítome de lo que James Alan McPherson significó para la literatura de su tiempo, que es también el nuestro. Ser un escritor negro en los Estados Unidos marcó tanto la escritura de McPherson como la percepción que de él tuvo el mundillo literario que le tocó vivir, un mundillo en el que, a golpe de codazos, supo abrirse un espacio vital donde permitirse ser auténtico.
Los doce relatos que están recogidos en este volumen, con el que McPherson se convirtió en el primer autor afroamericano en recibir un premio Pulitzer en la categoría de ficción (en 1978), continúan apelando a un mundo extrañamente familiar de desigualdades e injusticias, de violencias e incomprensiones, pero también de lucha y reivindicación. Un ejemplo irrefutable de la destreza narrativa de McPherson, con un característico tono desenfadado que rebosa humor y que acerca las historias a la narrativa oral. Espacio vital sigue interpelándonos a pesar de los años transcurridos. McPherson, en su momento, asumió la responsabilidad de concebir estas inolvidables historias; nos corresponde ahora la responsabilidad de leerlas e intentar hacer del mundo que reflejan un lugar distinto y, si tenemos un poco de suerte, un lugar mejor.

    She was a broken girl. 
     
     
     
    He tried to put her back together. 
     
     
     
    But it would take a tiny miracle to fix them both. 
     
     
     
    Her name was Janet, but the psycho who had owned her called her Twenty. She'd do anything to forget about her time as an evil man's Doll. Even trust another bad man with her darkest secrets. The damaged Alley Cat shifter shows her glimpses of the normal life she desperately longs for. But he might be just as broken as she is. And even if he's not, girls like her don't get happy endings. 
     
     
     
    Samuel "Smokes" Mendoza was content to live his life incomplete. Until a picture changed everything. One look at the woman known as Twenty, and his entire life purpose changed. Use, take, harm became save, heal, protect in a single heartbeat. Easier said than done when his werecat clan is falling apart before his eyes and his inner beast is clawing its way to the surface. 
     
     
     
    With a surprise he never saw coming, his broken girl is in danger once again. This time will be different. Smokes knows he's not good enough for her, but maybe he's good enough to keep her safe.

    Melody Foster has a PhD in marine biology and a master's in genetics, specializing in octopuses all over the world. When COVID stops all funding for her Octolab, she takes a consulting job in the Cook Islands for a deep-sea mining operation, looking for metallic nodules that litter the Pacific floor and contain the rare minerals needed for the electric vehicle industry. Issues with surprisingly intelligent guerrilla octopuses are monstrously hindering the operation, so billionaire Chinese mogul Jack Pa instructs "Dr. Mel" to fix the problem, or else. With her very life at stake, Melody enters the operation's saturation chamber at 500-feet sea depth, trying to put an end to the deliberate killing of her babies, while threatened by convicted rapists and murderers who are undergoing career rehabilitation from Chino Prison's famous diving program. Will she survive it all long enough to discover the fate of her long lost brother, adopted away from her during childhood, and secure the funding needed to keep her lab open another year?

    The Mark on the Wall

    The Mark on the Wall is not about the mark. Or perhaps it is. A small, dark speck becomes the starting point for a cascade of thought—quiet, precise, wandering. In a room with a fire, a cigarette, and silence thick as dust, a mind drifts from memory to philosophy, from loss to structure, from trees to snails.
    Virginia Woolf's voice here is both still and restless, charting the motion of consciousness as it moves without hurry or warning. This story does not ask for conclusions—it offers the sensation of thought itself. A brief, vivid descent into the private theatre of the mind.
