Frutos extraños

A woman capable of murdering three friends by putting cyanide in their teacup, another who killed her daughter minutes after giving birth, a magician who is missing a hand, a rock group whose most famous member has Down syndrome, a Shoeshine who ended up becoming an essential figure in Latin American music. As the author assures, there is nothing "more sexy, fierce, hilarious, ambiguous, gloomy or beautiful than reality." In this revised and expanded edition of Frutos Extraños Leila Guerriero reveals to us the most sensitive, vigorous and throbbing face of a profession that is going through difficult times and works the miracle of making us believe again in the profession of journalist. The chronicles collected in this book, written between 2001 and 2019, constitute a magisterial lesson in journalism, they show the world from a unique, intense and different perspective, and have the ability to knock out the reader.
