Calificación de Goodreads
"Rock Me on the Water" takes readers on a journey through Los Angeles in 1974, a year that marked the city's creative peak and dominated popular culture more than ever before. Through film, music, television, and politics, author Ronald Brownstein explores how the city's transformative talents reflected the changing demographics, social issues, and cultural realities of America. A story of a massive younger generation intent on change, "Rock Me on the Water" is a fascinating cultural history that shows how popular culture was ahead of politics in predicting what America would become.

.@RonBrownstein has written a truly terrific book! I moved to LA in Jan. 1974 when this story opens but it is about so much more than a city. It is insider scoops of pop culture leading us out of Nixon, as it will lead us out of Trump. I should be working but can’t stop reading.      fuente

Siempre demasiado y nunca suficiente
Cómo mi familia creó al hombre más peligroso del mundo
Mary L. Trump - 2020-07-14
Calificación de Goodreads
Un retrato revelador sobre el presidente Donald Trump escrito por su sobrina. Mary L. Trump, psicóloga clínica e hija del hermano mayor del presidente de Estados Unidos, firma estas memorias en las que expone la oscura historia de su familia para explicar cómo su tío se convirtió en el hombre que ahora amenaza la salud, el tejido social y la seguridad económica mundial. “Siempre demasiado y nunca suficiente. Cómo mi familia creó al hombre más peligroso del mundo” describe los traumas, las relaciones destructivas y cómo la trágica combinación de abandono y abusos forjaron al hombre que hoy ocupa el Despacho Oval. Además, explica sin tapujos la extraña y nociva relación entre Fred Trump y sus dos hijos mayores, Fred Jr y Donald. Como testigo de primera mano de innumerables comidas e interacciones familiares, Mary aporta un ingenio incisivo y un humor inesperado a los a veces sombríos y a menudo frustrantes eventos familiares. En las casi trescientas páginas del libro, Mary narra todo con detalle, desde la posición central de su tío Donald en la familia hasta las frecuentes lesiones y enfermedades de su abuela, o la terrible manera en la que Donald, el hijo predilecto de Fred Trump, lo menospreció cuando empezaba a sucumbir al Alzheimer.
