Ordinary Girls Muchachas ordinarias (Spanish edition) Audiobook Summary

Para las muchachas que fuimos, para la muchacha que fui, para las muchachas de todo el mundo que son como nosotras soliamos ser. Para las muchachas que nunca se vieron reflejadas en los libros. Para las muchachas ordinarias.

Jaquira Diaz siempre se encontro entre extremos en lugares permeados por la violencia. A pesar de anorar tener una familia unida y un hogar seguro, estos eran dificiles de conseguir viviendo bajo los niveles de pobreza en el caserio Padre Rivera en Puerto Rico y en Miami Beach, sobre todo tras el diagnostico de esquizofrenia de su madre y la subsiguiente ruptura familiar. El amor y apoyo de sus panas la mantuvieron a flote al encontrarse ante otra disyuntiva: su identidad y orgullo como puertorriquena no dejaba cabida para su nueva identidad sexual.

Cada pagina de Muchachas ordinarias brilla por su lirismo, crudeza y sensibilidad. Desde su lucha contra la depresion y el tortuoso camino que debio recorrer como sobreviviente de agresion sexual, pasando por el estado colonial actual de Puerto Rico, Diaz narra sus vivencias con increible lucidez y brutal honestidad, trazando la ruta que la alejo de la desesperanza y la llevo hacia el amor y el deseo de convertirse en la muchacha que siempre quiso ser.

Jaquira Diaz nacio en Puerto Rico y se crio en Miami Beach. Su obra ha sido publicada en Rolling Stone, The Guardian, The New York Times Style Magazine e incluida en la antologia The Best American Essays 2016, entre otros. Ha sido galardonada con el Whiting Award, la medalla de oro del Florida Book Awards y ha sido finalista de los Lambda Literary Awards. Divide su tiempo entre Montreal y Miami con su espose, le escritore Lars Horn.
