Leila puede escribir la receta de un budín y yo le voy a dar 5 estrellas. Nunca pensé que un festival de malambo me iba a movilizar tanto. TE AMO LEILA TE AMO MI AMOR

This was a short nonfiction about a dance competition, focusing especially on one performer. The Malambo is an Argentinian dance that requires a lot of strength, skill and stamina and winners of the Laborde competition take years to prepare. This was a really interesting piece of writing, I liked the author's style and it was great learning about the dance.

Es una historia sencilla, como su nombre indica, pero no es una historia imple. La autora logra sumergirnos en un mundo que, para la mayoría, es totalmente ajeno, y lo hace con una prosa fantástica. Gran investigación. Fue buscando cobre y encontró oro.

Ahora esto sí es una crónica. Mi desafío es poder escribir como Leila. Este libro lo leí sólo porque lo escribió ella, porque el mundo del malambo está re alejado de mi. Hacia la mitad de la historia, Leila ya había logrado de que me importara y que sienta a los personajes. Es visual. Cada palabra es una puntada letal, sutil y perfecta.

I quite enjoyed this sports comeback narrative by way of journalistic endeavor, about the small but intense competitive dance world of Malambo, something I didn’t know much about before reading this. Perfect for a sunny day at the beach, where you can lounge around and read about other people exerting their bodies to the breaking point.
