About this book

Just after finishing her book The Call, one of the best non-fiction books of recent times, Leila Guerriero headed to the Costa Brava in the footsteps of Truman Capote, who wrote much of his famous In Cold Blood there. The result is this work of superb acuity, structure, style and rhythm that mixes field research, reportage on the manipulation of memory, writing diary and reflection on the exercise of a literary genre that, precisely with In Cold Blood, Capote he intended to found, a genre that Leila Guerriero has taken to an extraordinary level of rigor and excellence.
