| Annotation |
"This book shows us an Elena Garro only her closest friends knew. An Elena who is human and, therefore, multifaceted and fallible. For this masterful portrait, Jazmina Barrera mines Garro's personal writings rigorously and with a sense of humor, combining insights from excerpts of her works, diaries, letters and interviews with quotes from documentaries, the Elena Garro Papers in the Princeton University archives, and even tarot, I Ching and astrology readings. Queen of Spades showcases Garro's unique way of inhabiting the world and the insights she contributed to it via her many obsessions: time, catastrophe, cats, peasant struggles, stagecraft and travel. Readers will find no judgments or certainties here, only a chameleon-like personality that sees the world through an intense, feminist and intelligent lens and evolves according to its findings. Thanks to Jazmina Barrera's keen observations, nourished by her infinite curiosity and prodigious memory, we are treated to a series of freeze frames of one of the great authors of the twentieth century, by a writer well on her way to joining those ranks." -- Provided by publisher. -- Unrated. Commercial audiobook. Spanish language.

"Este libro nos presenta a una Elena Garro que quizá solo conocieron sus amigas más íntimas. Una Elena humana y, por lo tanto, falible y multifacética. Para trazar este magnífico retrato, Jazmina Barrera hila con rigor científico y sentido del humor una colección personal en torno a la escritora: fragmentos de sus obras, diarios, cartas y entrevistas se trenzan con citas de documentales, algunas carpetas de los Elena Garro Papers del archivo de Princeton, y hasta con sesiones de tarot, I Ching y astrología. La reina de espadas resalta la peculiar forma de habitar el mundo de Elena Garro y su capacidad para dotarlo de nuevos sentidos a través de los temas que la obsesionaron: el tiempo, la catástrofe, los gatos, la lucha campesina, las puestas en escena y los viajes. Aquí no hay certezas ni juicios: solo el vaivén de una personalidad camaleónica en la mirada apasionada, feminista e inteligente de una investigadora que se transforma conforme avanzan sus pesquisas. La observación aguda que caracteriza la pluma de Jazmina Barrera se alía con su infinita curiosidad y con su prodigiosa memoria para regalarnos una serie de instantáneas de una gran escritora del siglo XX. Y, al hacerlo, demuestra pertenecer a ese mismo linaje." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Sin calificación. Audiolibro comercial.
