Mujeres elegantes

So elegance isn't the highest ideal? No, life and art are above it. Milena Busquets brings together here a series of texts in which intimate reflection, humor, and lucidity compose a work of rare freedom. Between personal essay, autobiography, and poetics, these pages explore love, beauty, friendship, motherhood, style, literature, and the passage of time with an incisive and subtle gaze. Nothing here is superfluous: not Proust nor Cadaqués, not clothes nor men, not the memory of her mother nor writing itself. Everything is integrated into a voice that has made the everyday the subject matter of its writing, and apparent lightness a form of intelligence. With the unmistakable tone that characterizes her ironic, vibrant narrative, Elegant Women confirms the singularity of one of the most recognizable voices in contemporary Spanish literature.
