«Me interesa la no ficción porque me interesa la ficción: quiero decir, la zona de grisura donde esas dos versiones de un pacto cognitivo con la realidad se tocan.»Los ensayos de este libro fueron escritos entre 2019 y 2024. Su objeto principal, mas no único, es la narrativa mexicana publicada durante la última década. El marco de referencia es adrede caprichoso: más que reiterar estándares académicos, me interesa interrogar al fenómeno literario contemporáneo sin sucumbir a la obviedad, la uniformidad y el aburrimiento. Overol está dividido en tres partes: "Contexto", que incluye ensayos extensos sobre técnica y ambiente cultural; "Lecturas", que compila artículos más breves, dedicados a un solo autor; y "Relecturas", con tres ensayos sobre autores o libros de décadas anteriores, y sobre el modo en que esos materiales platican con el presente. Los llamo "apuntes" no por su falta de profundidad, sino por el predominio de lo casual en la elección de los relatos sobre los que discurro. El lector constatará la ausencia de algunos de los títulos más vendidos y polémicos de la actualidad. Este es un truco que le aprendí a George Steiner: la convicción de que escribir sobre libros que te gustan y sobre las razones por las que te gustan vuelve más interesante y menos amargo el trayecto de la crítica. Casi siempre. -Julián Herbert ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "I am interested in non-fiction because I am interested in fiction: in other words, the gray area where these two versions of our cognitive pact with reality intersect."
The essays in this book were written between 2019 and 2024. Their main, if not only subject, is Mexican literature of the last decade, but this is a somewhat arbitrary frame of reference. My goal is not academic analysis but rather an interrogation of contemporary literature without being obvious, conventional or boring. Overol, therefore, is divided into three parts: "Context," which includes lengthly musings on technique and cultural context; "Readings," shorter essays focusing on a single author; and "Re-readings," three pieces about earlier books or authors and how they speak to the present. I call these "notes," not because they lack profundity but because of the casual choice of works addressed. As the reader will notice, these do not include recent bestsellers or controversial titles. This is a trick I learned from George Steiner: the conviction that writing about books you like and why you like them makes the job of the critic more interesting and, certainly, less bitter. Almost always. - Julián Herbert

What a nice surprise
Color: Black, Color: Black
This purse totally surprised me. It is so nice. It feels rich, soft but structured. Looks way more expensive. I love it.
Update. My only complaint after using is the magnet closure isn’t really strong so can open easily

Amazing bag
Color: Black
Omg this is seriously the cutest bag. I purchased the black so classy looking and I love that you can carry It 3 different way. It looks like an expensive bag. Can’t wait to use It at some weddings as a clutch and then a cross body or shoulder bag other days. . It has card slots in It which is so good when you don’t want to carry a wallet. I did put a small wallet my phone and lip gloss and keys and still have room.

Nice bag
Not a bad bag just not my favorite. Looks different once it came in the mail and the quality wasn’t as nice but still very spacious. It’s a nice daily bag but not what I had needed.
