Never, Ever Ever, Coming Down, the first collection of short stories by Ivan Monalisa Ojeda, gathers the voices of transsexuals, transvestites, locas and two-spirits who roam through the nights and streets of Manhattan -its bars, clubs, neighborhoods and apartments. The English translation from Chilean and Washington Heights Spanish, by Marc Brudzinski, treasures the accuracy and fluidity of a prose which uncovers those workers who, in the dangerous spaces underneath and in between the glittering facades of New York, band together under a multicolor and plurilingual flag in order to survive.

They Have Fired Her Again is the ominous and compelling tale of a Central American immigrant in New York, narrated by the voices surrounding Lourdes during the exhausting rituals of her workday. Following a myriad of other working immigrants, Lourdes finds herself immersed in an ongoing pursuit of a job, while also being hunted down by peculiar animals-a light moth, a motmot bird, the cats in the shadows, a little crystalline dog, a wolf of stone-among other spectacular collections of animals that steal away, or liberate, lonely women into the perpetual night of the city. They Have Fired Her Again is the first novella by prize-winning Salvadorean author Claudia Hernandez to be translated into English. This bilingual edition includes the original text and the translation by Aaron Lacayo.
