«Me interesa la no ficción porque me interesa la ficción: quiero decir, la zona de grisura donde esas dos versiones de un pacto cognitivo con la realidad se tocan.»Los ensayos de este libro fueron escritos entre 2019 y 2024. Su objeto principal, mas no único, es la narrativa mexicana publicada durante la última década. El marco de referencia es adrede caprichoso: más que reiterar estándares académicos, me interesa interrogar al fenómeno literario contemporáneo sin sucumbir a la obviedad, la uniformidad y el aburrimiento. Overol está dividido en tres partes: "Contexto", que incluye ensayos extensos sobre técnica y ambiente cultural; "Lecturas", que compila artículos más breves, dedicados a un solo autor; y "Relecturas", con tres ensayos sobre autores o libros de décadas anteriores, y sobre el modo en que esos materiales platican con el presente. Los llamo "apuntes" no por su falta de profundidad, sino por el predominio de lo casual en la elección de los relatos sobre los que discurro. El lector constatará la ausencia de algunos de los títulos más vendidos y polémicos de la actualidad. Este es un truco que le aprendí a George Steiner: la convicción de que escribir sobre libros que te gustan y sobre las razones por las que te gustan vuelve más interesante y menos amargo el trayecto de la crítica. Casi siempre. -Julián Herbert ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "I am interested in non-fiction because I am interested in fiction: in other words, the gray area where these two versions of our cognitive pact with reality intersect."
The essays in this book were written between 2019 and 2024. Their main, if not only subject, is Mexican literature of the last decade, but this is a somewhat arbitrary frame of reference. My goal is not academic analysis but rather an interrogation of contemporary literature without being obvious, conventional or boring. Overol, therefore, is divided into three parts: "Context," which includes lengthly musings on technique and cultural context; "Readings," shorter essays focusing on a single author; and "Re-readings," three pieces about earlier books or authors and how they speak to the present. I call these "notes," not because they lack profundity but because of the casual choice of works addressed. As the reader will notice, these do not include recent bestsellers or controversial titles. This is a trick I learned from George Steiner: the conviction that writing about books you like and why you like them makes the job of the critic more interesting and, certainly, less bitter. Almost always. - Julián Herbert

Perfect, it fits like a glove.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
I really liked the sleeve, the navy blue color looks very elegant and the material feels resistant but soft to the touch. What I like the most is that the back is translucent, so you still see the design of the tablet.
It works great for watching videos because it stands firm when folding it, and turning off the screen alone when closing it is very practical. Because of the price it has, the quality is excellent.

Great Protective Case for My Mother’s iPad
Color: 2-Watermelon Red, Color: 2-Watermelon Red
I bought this case along with my mother’s new iPad, and it was the perfect choice. The watermelon red color looks beautiful with the pink iPad and gives it a very clean and stylish look. The case feels sturdy without adding too much weight, which makes it comfortable for her to carry around and use every day.
The stand feature works really well for watching videos, reading, and video calls. I also like that the case supports the auto wake and sleep function, which makes the iPad feel even more convenient and easy to use. The cutouts fit perfectly, and Touch ID still works without any issues.
The translucent back is a nice touch because it still lets the iPad color show through while keeping it protected from scratches and bumps. Overall, this case exceeded expectations and makes a great addition for anyone wanting both protection and style for their iPad.

Good product. What you see is what you get.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
Material feels sturdy and was a perfect fit compatible for my iPad. There's adequate grip and padding for a comfortable yet slim feel. Magnets hold it close and in one position when propping it up for watching landscape videos. Back is translucent as advertised. Solid product, put it on as i opened my new ipad for immediate protection. Perfectly safe blind buy if you're also getting that 'frequently bought together' suggestion from Amazon.
