LA ANTOLOGÍA DEFINITIVA VEINTICINCO AÑOS DEL MEJOR PERIODISMO DE LEILA GUERRIEROUna edición ampliada y revisada con los textos imprescindibles de la gran cronista en lengua española y autora de La llamada, libro del año en Babelia.
«El periodismo puede, y debe, echar mano de todos los recursos de la narrativa para crear un destilado, en lo posible, perfecto: la esencia de la esencia de la realidad». Veinticinco años han pasado desde la crónica más temprana de todas las que contiene esta antología del mejor periodismo de Leila Guerriero: un cuarto de siglo con los textos imprescindibles de la gran cronista en lengua española, quien ha revisado y ampliado este libro para la ocasión. Frutos extraños es una lección magistral de escritura en la que la autora nos descubre la cara más sensible, vigorosa y palpitante de su oficio. Aquí encontramos muchas de sus crónicas célebres: la historia de una mujer capaz de asesinar a tres amigas con cianuro, la de otra que mató a su hija minutos después de parirla o la de un mago manco. El volumen incluye también algunas de sus brillantes reflexiones sobre el acto de escribir e incorpora perfiles de figuras como Ricardo Darín o María Kodama, además de relatos de episodios históricos recientes que sin duda marcarán una época, como las últimas elecciones presidenciales en Argentina. Este compendio confirma a Leila Guerriero como la gran defensora de que no hay nada «más sexy, feroz, desopilante, ambiguo, tétrico o hermoso que la realidad». ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE DEFINITIVE ANTHOLOGY: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF LEILA GUERRIERO'S FINEST JOURNALISM
An expanded and revised edition featuring the essential texts of the foremost Spanish-language chronicler and author of The Call, named Book of the Year by Babelia.
"Journalism can--and must--draw on every resource of narrative to create, as perfectly as possible, a distillation: the essence of the essence of reality." Twenty-five years have passed since the earliest chronicle included in this anthology of Leila Guerriero's best journalism: a quarter century of essential texts by the leading Spanish-language chronicler, who has revised and expanded this volume for the occasion. Strange Fruits is a master class in writing in which the author reveals the most sensitive, vigorous, and vibrant side of her craft. Here we find many of her celebrated chronicles: the story of a woman capable of murdering three friends with cyanide; another who killed her daughter minutes after giving birth; and that of a one-armed magician. The volume also includes some of her brilliant reflections on the act of writing and incorporates profiles of figures such as Ricardo Darín and María Kodama, as well as accounts of recent historical events that will undoubtedly define an era, such as Argentina's most recent presidential elections. This compendium confirms Leila Guerriero as the foremost champion of the idea that there is nothing "sexier, fiercer, more outrageous, more ambiguous, more terrifying, or more beautiful than reality."

Great book about a Great museum.
Format: Paperback
Great book, I have visited the museum and was only able to finish the first three basement floors... yes it was that intense. The book helps me read up more on my own time at home. I look forward to visiting the museum again, whenever I get lucky and score some tickets on the next lottery time. This book will tide me until then for the next visit to the upper floors this time.
