Evocative and imaginative, these narrative essays cover a range of themes but share the unique perspective of the author that allows the reader to draw new connections between diverse topics. The hidden tomb of Brodsky in Venice, the elusiveness of the indefinable Portuguese word saudade, and the idea of language being a break between infancy and childhood are some of the subjects that Valeria Luiselli explores. Shining a different light on aspects of daily life, this group of commentary also demonstrates the prowess of a promising young Mexican writer.

Arrojando una luz única sobre diversos aspectos de la vida diaria, esta compilación de comentario también demuestra la proeza de una prometedora joven escritora mexicana.
