Story
Horizontal Vertigo: The title refers to the fear of ever-impending earthquakes that led Mexicans to build their capital city outward rather than upward. With the perspicacity of a keenly observant flâneur, Juan Villoro wanders through Mexico City seemingly without a plan, describing people, places, and things while brilliantly drawing connections among them.

Story
Thirteen-year-old Juan’s summer is off to a terrible start. First, his parents separate. Then, almost as bad, Juan is sent away to his strange Uncle Tito’s house for the entire break! Who wants to live with an oddball recluse who has zigzag eyebrows, drinks 15 cups of smoky tea a day, and lives inside a huge, mysterious library? As Juan adjusts to his new life among teetering, dusty shelves, he notices something odd: the books move on their own! He rushes to tell Uncle Tito, who lets his nephew in on a secret: Juan is a Princeps Reader, which means books respond magically to him.

Diego González es un documentalista que habla dormido. Está casado con una sonidista que trata de descifrar lo que dice en sueños. Se muda a Barcelona, pero el pasado lo alcanza como una pesadilla. La visita de un viejo conocido, el periodista Adalberto Anaya, trastoca su reciente tranquilidad. Anaya - quien ha vigilado a Diego durante años con la atención casi desmedida de un admirador - lo culpa de haber hecho un documental para entregar a un narco.

Story
Juan Villoro relata en La figura del mundo, el orden secreto de las cosas, algunos pasajes memoriosos en torno a su padre, el pensador mexicano-catalán, Luis Villoro. Sin el afán de hacer una biografía en estricto sentido, Juan evoca aquí la vida singular de quienfuera filósofo, luchador social, zapatista y autor de una obra fundamental. En este libro hace una aproximación a una figura a la vez íntima y pública, adentrándose en las complejidades que toda vida tiene, narrando con maestría instantes que se desdoblan para entender el ubicuo presente.

Sin apartarse del principio conductor de Dios es redondo - «el futbol es la recuperación de la infancia» - los retratos y las crónicas de Balón dividido abarcan a las figuras recientes del balompié actual - Piqué, Messi, Pep Guardiola, Cristiano Ronaldo, los hermanos Boateng - y, entre extraordinarias conexiones con la literatura, la historia y la psicología, como Juan Villoro nos ha acostumbrado, calienta el ambiente para los numerosos y encendidos debates que el futbol siempre concede, sobre todo en años mundialistas.

Story
Tiempo transcurrido es un calendario azteca con música de rock. Las historias de este libro ocurren a lo largo de dieciocho años mexicanos, enmarcados en dos fechas decisivas: el Movimiento estudiantil de 1968 y el terremoto de 1985. Con destreza, Juan Villoro sitúa a personajes imaginarios en circunstancias reales: lo que pasó vuelve a pasar de otra manera. En este viaje al pasado la música es fundamental; los sucesos avanzan al compás de las transformaciones del rock. Retrato de una generación, Tiempo transcurrido también ofrece un mapa de la Ciudad de México y sus muy distintos barrios.

Story
En la que sin duda es su crónica más emocionante, Juan Villoro cuenta cómo estuvo en condiciones de comparar la intensidad de dos de los terremotos más terribles que ha sufrido América Latina: el de 1985 en la ciudad de México y el de 2010 en Santiago de Chile. Convencido de que estos desastres deben contarse con las más representativas de las voces implicadas, Villoro tomó los relatos de sus compañeros de temblor y construyó un concierto de impresiones en el que no faltan el suspenso o el absurdo.

Las mejores plumas de nuestra literatura se enfundaron en alguna ocasión los guantes de cuero rojo para acercarse al mundo de narices rotas, toallas a punto de caer, orgullos fracturados, amaños a deshora, y besos a la única que se deja querer: la lona. Los hemos reunido para así trazar un recorrido necesario por el subgénero más sudoroso, el de la literatura de boxeo.

Story
La estructura de este libro es un zapping de la memoria y la observación. Las secciones que dan orden a los fragmentos aluden a una manera de habitar la Ciudad de México, todas ejercidas por el autor, quien sobrevivió para contarla. Así, "Vivir en la ciudad" describe escenas de la vida diaria, pasajes de la infancia del autor (las casas vacías de la colonia en la que creció, el último paseo con su abuela) en una ciudad de la que no queda más que la memoria personal y el cuento que con ésta se forja.
