Edición revisada y ampliada del libro de crónicas de una de las mejores periodistas en español   «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.»   Una mujer capaz de asesinar a tres amigas poniéndoles cianuro en la taza de té, otra que mató a su hija minutos después de parirla, un mago al que le falta una mano, un grupo de rock cuyo integrante más famoso tiene síndrome de Down, un lustrabotas que acabó convirtiéndose en una figura imprescindible de la música en Hispanoamérica. Como asegura la autora, no hay nada «más sexy, feroz, desopilante, ambiguo, tétrico o hermoso que la realidad.»   En esta edición revisada y ampliada de Frutos extraños Leila Guerriero nos descubre la cara más sensible, vigorosa y palpitante de una profesión que atraviesa tiempos difíciles y obra el milagro de hacernos creer de nuevo en el oficio de periodista. Las crónicas recogidas en este libro, escritas entre los años 2001 y 2019, constituyen una lección magistral de periodismo, muestran el mundo desde una perspectiva única, intensa y diferente, y tienen la capacidad de noquear al lector.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONRevised and expanded edition of the collected columns from one of the best Spanish-language journalists   "Journalism can, and should, use all narrative resources to create a perfect distillate, if possible: the essence of the essence of reality."   A woman capable of murdering three friends by putting cyanide in a teacup, another who killed her daughter minutes after giving birth, a magician who is missing a hand, a rock group whose most famous member has Down syndrome, a shoeshine boy who ended up becoming an essential Latin American music figure. As the author asserts, there is nothing "sexier, fiercer, more outrageous, ambiguous, gloomy, or beautiful than reality."   In this revised and expanded edition of Strange Fruits, Leila Guerriero reveals the most sensitive, vigorous, and pulsating face of a profession that is going through difficult times and works the miracle of making us believe in the journalism profession again. The columns collected in this book, written between the years 2001 and 2019, constitute a masterful lesson in journalism, show the world from a unique, intense and distinctive perspective, and have the ability to knock the reader out.   Read more
