The
Dog and the Frog Publishing Foundation will present new publications on science fiction, salsa, historical
memory and indigenous literature during the 22nd International
Book Fair of Venezuela (FILVEN), which will take place from November 13 to 23.
Among the novelties are
two titles dedicated to science fiction: “What is science
fiction? “, by the Russian writer Yuri Kagarlitski, and “Visions of a
Future Past”, by Carlo Frabetti. Both works approach this genre as a
space for reflection, speculation and critical thinking.
The musical collection
will include publications on figures and processes related to salsa,
including "Ismael Rivera. El Sonero Mayor”, by César Pagano;
"Venezuela and its salsa. Vol. II “, by Jairo Aponte, Edgar Marchena and
Alejandro Moreno; and" Feeling You: Tite Curet and Cheo Feliciano “, by Juan Manuel Álvarez, among others.
In homage to the state of
Zulia, the program will incorporate “Afro-Zulian Identity and Reparations
to the Slavery Process”, an investigation by Roberto López and Belina Colina
on Afro-Venezuelan expressions in Bobures, Maracaibo and Caja Seca.
In addition,
“The Tree of Life and Other Indigenous Stories” and "Kuai-mare: Aboriginal
Myths of Venezuela “will be presented, works that bring together stories and worldviews of native peoples.
The editorial offer also
includes the “Borges” dossier, dedicated to the Argentinian writer Jorge
Luis Borges, with reviews, interviews, reports and testimonies about his life and
work, regarding the 40th anniversary of his death.
The agenda of The Dog and the Frog at FILVEN will include book presentations, talks and workshops for children and young people, with proposals that cover different genres and cultural expressions.
