El libro más personal de Elvira Sastre, tan tierno e Ãntimo como reivindicativo.
De la manifestación del 8M de 2019 a los duros meses de confinamiento, desde los paseos en bici por el Retiro a los bares familiares de la Latina o el bullicio del Rastro, del orgullo LGBTI+ a la agitada vida cultural de la capital: Madrid me mata es el Madrid de Elvira Sastre, una segoviana que llegó a la ciudad hace ocho años para hacerla suya: aquà ha celebrado el amor y ha llorado por las pérdidas; ha conocido sus barrios y sabido cuándo era el momento de dejar las calles del centro para buscar una casa con vistas al cielo.
Madrid me mata recorre más de dos años en la vida de Elvira Sastre. Partiendo de las columnas que escribió para El PaÃs desde septiembre de 2018 a noviembre de 2020, la poeta y ganadora del Premio Biblioteca Breve 2019 ha dado forma a su libro más personal, tan tierno e Ãntimo como reivindicativo, en una edición muy cuidada que incluye fotografÃas a color, poemas, cartas y contenido escrito para la ocasión.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The most personal book by Elvira Sastre, as tender and intimate as it is assertive.
From the 8M 2019 protest to the harsh months of lockdown, from bike rides through Retiro Park to the cozy bars of La Latina or the hustle and bustle of El Rastro, from LGBT+ pride to the vibrant cultural life of the capital: Madrid Kills Me is Elvira Sastre's Madrid, a Segovian who came to the city eight years ago to make it her own. Here she has celebrated love and mourned losses; she has gotten to know its neighborhoods and learned when it was time to leave the city center streets to find a house with a view of the sky.
Madrid Kills Me spans more than two years in the life of Elvira Sastre. Based on the columns she wrote for El PaÃs from September 2018 to November 2020, the poet and winner of the 2019 Premio Biblioteca Breve has shaped her most personal book, as tender and intimate as it is assertive, in a carefully curated edition that includes color photographs, poems, letters, and content written for the occasion.
