LA ANTOLOGÍA DEFINITIVA VEINTICINCO AÑOS DEL MEJOR PERIODISMO DE LEILA GUERRIEROUna edición ampliada y revisada con los textos imprescindibles de la gran cronista en lengua española y autora de La llamada, libro del año en Babelia.
«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». Veinticinco años han pasado desde la crónica más temprana de todas las que contiene esta antología del mejor periodismo de Leila Guerriero: un cuarto de siglo con los textos imprescindibles de la gran cronista en lengua española, quien ha revisado y ampliado este libro para la ocasión. Frutos extraños es una lección magistral de escritura en la que la autora nos descubre la cara más sensible, vigorosa y palpitante de su oficio. Aquí encontramos muchas de sus crónicas célebres: la historia de una mujer capaz de asesinar a tres amigas con cianuro, la de otra que mató a su hija minutos después de parirla o la de un mago manco. El volumen incluye también algunas de sus brillantes reflexiones sobre el acto de escribir e incorpora perfiles de figuras como Ricardo Darín o María Kodama, además de relatos de episodios históricos recientes que sin duda marcarán una época, como las últimas elecciones presidenciales en Argentina. Este compendio confirma a Leila Guerriero como la gran defensora de que no hay nada «más sexy, feroz, desopilante, ambiguo, tétrico o hermoso que la realidad». ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE DEFINITIVE ANTHOLOGY: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF LEILA GUERRIERO'S FINEST JOURNALISM
An expanded and revised edition featuring the essential texts of the foremost Spanish-language chronicler and author of The Call, named Book of the Year by Babelia.
"Journalism can--and must--draw on every resource of narrative to create, as perfectly as possible, a distillation: the essence of the essence of reality." Twenty-five years have passed since the earliest chronicle included in this anthology of Leila Guerriero's best journalism: a quarter century of essential texts by the leading Spanish-language chronicler, who has revised and expanded this volume for the occasion. Strange Fruits is a master class 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; 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 define an era, such as Argentina's most recent presidential elections. This compendium confirms Leila Guerriero as the foremost champion of the idea that there is nothing "sexier, fiercer, more outrageous, more ambiguous, more terrifying, or more beautiful than reality."

incredible.
Format: Mass Market Paperback, Format: Mass Market Paperback
i want to recommend this book to every woman i know - but unfortunately, i know soooo many will choose to be offended by its content. it will either strengthen your femininity & rattle your feminist side (i should note that i mean the more extreme, modern meaning), or solidify your feminist ideologies altogether. for me, it was the former. & i'm so grateful. i will say, i think many of the reviews claiming this book is "against women" or "spreading harmful messages" are either taking quotes out of context or the point has gone over their heads completely.
elisabeth has made such incredible points about men & women being equally valuable, but simply having different roles in life. she also exaggerated that mature men understand that they have their role not from earning it, but from assignment & are called to love well. so much so, to lay down their lives. this is no way made me feel "less than" or "oppressed" or "victimized". i would say it did the opposite. it made me proud to be a woman.
personally, i think this book is incredible & i plan to read it several times in the future. men & women are equal in value, but we were not created for the same roles. & that's *more* than okay, it's beautiful. & God's will is the safest place to be. since i tend to have a hard time articulating my thoughts, here are some bullet points.
women are a gift. we were quite literally created to be a helpmeet. we are needed. we are necessary. we have a divine purpose. "i don't want anyone treating me as a person rather than as a woman".
a point made that i find interesting - we often see women on a mission to prove "we can do everything a man can do!" (which we cannot), yet, we don't often, if at all, see men trying to prove they can do everything a woman can do (which they can't).
people often assume that women embracing the more feminine roles is because of the western societal standards. but if that were true, why do we have yet to discover a successful matriarchal society? globally - villages, tribes, etc. have men as the hunters & warriors, & women as the caregivers & nurturers. is it because we were wired that way?
freedom lies in God's will, not rebelling against it. "by being a jellyfish, the jellyfish glorifies its Creator, for by being a jellyfish it fulfills its Creator's command." just like a sailboat sails most beautifully when it sails with the wind, not against it. it's fulfilling it's purpose.
"if she was going to make her way in a man's world, she had to be a lady." LOVE THIS QUOTE SO MUCH.
"you did in fact marry only a sinner, & so did he. it is grace you both need."
"snoring is the sweetest sound in the world. ask any widow." this hit my soul. hard.
"you can't find the meaning of a rose by pulling it apart." was such a fabulous quote in regards to not digging too deeply into such trivial things.

Become a woman of God
Format: Kindle
Age Appropriate For: 15 and up (some marital themes and matter best for older readers)
Best for Ages: 15 and up
Elisabeth Elliot is an incredible woman whom I have looked up to for years. Though I might not always agree with everything she says, I know whatever she says comes from a heart that is devoted to God and is seeking him. As this year I am spending a lot of time reading about Biblical Womanhood, this was high on my list.
One of the things I loved about this book is that it was from a mother’s heart to her daughter. So much of the advice felt not like so many of the books on the market, but like I was sitting at her beach home listening to her talk. I felt as if I was peering over Elisabeth’s shoulder reading these letters, unfiltered, no nonsense, but with deep beauty.
The advice was so steeped in Scripture without any of the softening that so many books try to do. I loved the way she made fun of feminism and did not shy away from saying things that are politically incorrect with no apology. So many books on womanhood for Christian women (I am finding) almost sound as if they are apologizing for the politically incorrect way God wants women to live. Elisabeth Elliot does not apologize; she shows what a wonderful thing is.
This book really got me to thinking in such a good way. I saw so many areas that I need to allow God to work on me. There is nothing as empowering as seeing a reflection of what you are supposed to be, and I found it in this book.
Elliott does talk about sex in this book. After all, it is a part of life, womanhood, and her daughter was about to be married. I found this chapter one of the more encouraging ones, oddly enough. I think because she talks about it very matter-of-factly but also doesn’t become crude about it. All her advice and encouragement is steeped in biblical principles and personal experience. I didn’t find it awkward, but rather much like a good mother-daughter talk.
I highly recommend this book to women who are trying to live their life aligned with God and the Bible, not the world.
