Heavy
An American Memoir
Kiese Laymon - 2022-10-01 (publicado por primera vez en 2018)
Calificación de Goodreads
This memoir is a powerful exploration of the impact of secrets, lies, and deception on a black family, individuals, and a country on the brink of moral collapse. The author lays bare his complicated childhood in Mississippi, including experiences of sexual violence and his complex relationship with his mother, with unflinching honesty. Through personal stories and piercing intellect, Laymon asks us to confront the terrifying possibility that few in this nation actually know how to responsibly love and become free. Defiant yet vulnerable, Heavy is an insightful and comical examination of identity, art, friendship, family, and the weight that we all carry.

Una educación
A Memoir
Tara Westover - 2018-02-20
Calificación de Goodreads
Nacida en las montañas de Idaho, Tara Westover ha crecido en armonía con una naturaleza grandiosa y doblegada a las leyes que establece su padre, un mormón fundamentalista convencido de que el final del mundo es inminente. Ni Tara ni sus hermanos van a la escuela o acuden al médico cuando enferman. Todos trabajan con el padre, y su madre es curandera y única partera de la zona. Tara tiene un talento: el canto, y una obsesión: saber. Pone por primera vez los pies en un aula a los diecisiete años: no sabe que ha habido dos guerras mundiales, pero tampoco la fecha exacta de su nacimiento (no tiene documentos). Pronto descubre que la educación es la única vía para huir de su hogar. A pesar de empezar de cero, reúne las fuerzas necesarias para preparar el examen de ingreso a la universidad, cruzar el océano y graduarse en Cambridge, aunque para ello deba romper los lazos con su familia.

Recuerda que vas a morir. Vive book cover
Recuerda que vas a morir. Vive
Paul Kalanithi - 2016-01-12
Calificación de Goodreads
Recuerda que vas a morir. Vive es una inolvidable reflexión llena de vida de lo que significa enfrentarse a la muerte. «Cuatro palabras de Samuel Beckett empezaron a repetirse en mi cabeza: No puedo seguir. Seguiré.» A la edad de treinta y seis años, y a punto de acabar una década de residencia para obtener un puesto fijo como neurocirujano, a Paul Kalanithi se le diagnosticó un cáncer de pulmón. Pasó de ser un doctor que trataba casos graves a ser un paciente que luchaba por vivir. En este libro, cargado de positivismo, Kalanithi reflexiona sobre las grandes cuestiones de la vida mientras se enfrenta a la muerte. “La realidad de la muerte es inquietante, pero no hay otra manera de vivir”, Paul Kalaniti

Éramos unos niños book cover
Éramos unos niños
Patti Smith - 2010-01-19
Calificación de Goodreads
Éramos unos niños. La historia de amistad que unió a Mapplethorpe y Patti Smith contada por ella misma. Nacida en Chicaco en 1946, Smith saltó a la fama durante el movimiento punk con su álbum debut Horses. La llamada «madrina del punk» aportó un punto de vista feminista e intelectual al movimiento y se convirtió en una de las artistas más influyentes dentro de la música rock, integrándola con un estilo de poesía beat. Los inicios de su carrera estuvieron marcados por su amistad con el fotógrafo Mapplethorpe con quien, según ella, se casó para disimular su homosexualidad. Estas memorias son un recorrido por las calles del Nueva York de fi nales de los años setenta y principios de los ochenta, un mundo ya perdido donde circulaban Allen Ginsberg o Andy Warhol y sus chicos, y donde se creaban las grandes bandas de música que marcaron el fin del siglo XX.

Ortodoxia book cover
Ortodoxia
G. K. Chesterton - 2007-01-10 (publicado por primera vez en 1908)
Calificación de Goodreads
Es este, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los libros más representativos de G. K. Chesterton y probablemente su mejor ensayo. Una especie de autobiografía espiritual y vagabunda que completa lo iniciado en su libro Herejes, de 1905 (Acantilado, 2007). Optimista y polémico, perspicaz tour de force hacia una filosofía del asombro agradecido y de la libertad mental y emocional, este libro es ya un clásico indiscutible.
