De la autora de Yo no soy tu perfecta hija mexicana, bestseller del New York Times, nos llega una autobiograf燰 en ensayos sumamente original, tan conmovedora como hilarante. Al crecer como hija de inmigrantes mexicanos en Chicago en los a隳s noventa, 宁ika S嫕chez se describe a s?misma como una paria inadaptada y una decepci鏮: una revoltosa melanc鏊ica que dec燰 demasiadas groser燰s y se pintaba las u鎙s de negro, pero a la vez amaba la comedia, en muchas ocasiones ri幯dose tan fuerte con sus amigos que la obligaba a salir del sal鏮. Veinticinco a隳s despu廥 es una novelista, poeta y ensayista galardonada, con una risa todav燰 irreprimible, un ingenio mordaz y poderes singulares para apreciar el mundo a su alrededor.
En estos ensayos, S嫕chez escribe de todo, desde sexo y feminismo blanco, hasta depresiones debilitantes, revelando una vida interna abundante de ideas, autoconciencia y percepci鏮. Atrevido, profundo, incorregible y brutalmente honesto,
Llorando en el ba隳 nos muestra a S嫕chez en su apogeo: un libro que te har?sentir esa euforia que queda despu廥 de compartir confesiones durante horas con tu mejor amiga.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, an utterly original memoir-in-essays that is asdeeply moving as it is hilarious.
Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika S嫕chez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment--a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she's now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she's still got an irrepressible laugh, an acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her.
In these essays, S嫕chez writes about everything from sex to white feminism to debilitating depression, revealing an interior life rich with ideas, self-awareness, and perception. Raunchy, insightful, unapologetic, and brutally honest,
Crying in the Bathroom is S嫕chez at her best--a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend.
