A Story About Becoming Whole | Announcing Preorder Availability for Parted Gods by Alfredo Félix-Díaz
Some novels arrive quietly. Others step into the world like a symphony already in motion. Parted Gods is the latter.
Alfredo Félix-Díaz’s newest novel opens in the suspended breath between life and impact, a van, a sunset, a body lifted into the air, and from that instant unfolds a story that refuses to sit still. Antonella Adamo, a celebrated painter on the edge of collapse, finds herself slipping into the memories of her twin brother Federico, a jazz pianist finally stepping into the light. Together they move through Berlin’s restless art world, the myth stained shores of Sicily, and a final reckoning in New Orleans where love, art, and fate collide.
What begins as a narrative of twins becomes something stranger and more mythic. Parted Gods asks what it means to be split from the person who completes you and whether art can repair the fracture or only deepen it. Félix-Díaz brings a cinematic sensibility shaped by his work in theater, poetry, and screenwriting. The result is a novel that moves like music, lyrical, urgent, and deeply alive.
We’re proud to welcome Parted Gods into the Unsolicited Press catalog, a book that feels as expansive as myth and as intimate as memory.
Parted Gods releases March 24, 2026.
