Frutos extraños (edición definitiva)

Twenty-five years have passed since the earliest chronicle in this anthology of Leila Guerriero's finest journalism: a quarter of a century of essential writing by this great chronicler in the Spanish language, who has revised and expanded this book for this occasion. Strange Fruits is a masterclass 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, that of 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 mark an era, such as the last presidential elections in Argentina. This compendium confirms Leila Guerriero as the great defender that there is nothing "sexier, fiercer, more hilarious, ambiguous, gloomy or beautiful than reality."
