DECOMPOSITION by Jose Alfonso Carcamo
translated by Mariana Carreño King
A wrenching portrait of two friends, and the actors who play them, confronting the ills of a classist society, and discovering that everyone's soul suffers a process of decomposition.
THE MAIDS OF HONOUR by Ernesto Anaya
translated by Migdalia Cruz
Diego Velázquez's masterpiece comes-to-comic life. With strokes born of desperation, the artist reclaims his artistic soul through the raw humanity of those he truly paints.
