-Descripcion Original:
De la autora de Yo no soy tu perfecta hija mexicana, bestseller del New York Times, nos llegan estos originalisimos ensayos autobiograficos, profundamente conmovedores y de una comicidad que desarma. Hija de inmigrantes mexicanos y criada en Chicago en la decada de los noventa, Erika L. Sanchez se ha descrito a si misma como paria, inadaptada y un chasco: agitadora melancolica y malhablada que se pintaba las uñas de negro, pero tambien disfrutaba la comedia y tenia el sueño improbable de ser poeta. Veinticinco años mas tarde se ha convertido en una galardonada novelista, poeta y ensayista, pero no ha perdido la risa incontrolable, su aspero ingenio y sus singulares poderes para percibir el mundo a su alrededor. En estos ensayos, que tratan de todo -desde la sexualidad hasta el feminismo blanco, pasando por la depresion debilitante y las busquedas redentoras de la espiritualidad, el arte y los viajes-, Sanchez revela una vida interior rica en ideas, autoconciencia y percepcion: la de una mujer que trazo un camino enteramente de su propia factura. Atrevido, perspicaz, incorregible y brutalmente honesto, Llorando en el baño es Sanchez en su maxima expresion: un libro que te hara sentir ese subidon que resulta de revelaciones intimas y horas de platica 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 Sanchez 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, Sanchez 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 Sanchez at her best-a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend. About the Author Erika L. Sanchez is a Mexican-American poet, novelist, and essayist. Her debut poetry collection, Lessons on Expulsion, was published by Graywolf in July 2017, and was a finalist for the PEN America Open Book Award. Her debut young adult novel, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, published in October 2017 by Knopf Books for Young Readers, was a New York Times bestseller and a National Book Awards finalist. It is now being made into a film directed by America Ferrera. Sanchez was a 2017-2019 Princeton Arts Fellow, a 2018 recipient of the 21st Century Award from the Chicago Public Library Foundation, and a 2019 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
