In Dog Tethers, Castañeda tells us about the movement of ’68, his years in Paris, and his meeting and friendship with Carlos Fuentes and García Márquez, about whom he says, “I thought I had been his friend, when I never actually was.” He discusses important people and topics both in the national and international scene: Elba Esther Gordillo, the TLC, and Cuba and the Castros, as well as Salinas de Gortari, the 1988 electoral scandal, Fox’s campaign, his nomination as Secretary of Foreign Affairs, the Iraq war, and the famous “eat and leave.”

A great historical and erotic novel, finalist for the prestigious Strega Prize.
Naples, the 17th century. Lisario Morales is a young subject of noble lineage in the Spanish viceroyalty who secretly reads Cervantes and writes letters to the Virgin Mary to alleviate her loneliness. When, as a young woman, her parents decide to marry her off to an old man, she pretends to fall asleep and not wake up. After months of prayers, the Morales family looks for help from the Catalonian doctor Avicente Iguelmano, who cures Lisario thanks to a therapy as illicit as it is secret. In thanks, her parents give her to him as his wife, but once Lisario’s desire is awakened, it possesses an uncontrollable liberating energy, and the young doctor’s love gives rise to a disturbing obsession with the mystery of the voluptuous feminine pleasure.

“Europe, the 14th century. While Spain, France, and England finalize their unity, the Italian states become involved in permanent conflicts because of religion, power, and the thirst for territorial expansion. The only thing that unifies them is the cultural rebirth of the arts. In the Florence of the Medicis, a young and promising Leonardo da Vinci is anonymously accused of sodomy. For two months, he is interrogated and tortured, until he is finally set free for lack of proof. With his reputation damaged, Leonardo leaves for greener pastures to demonstrate his talent and alleviate the psychological consequences of his imprisonment. The product of several years of research and journeys to the most important places in the life of the genius, Christian Gávez constructs a historical thriller in which art, vengeance, and passion intertwine.
