Alguien camina sobre tu tumba by Mariana Enríquez

The book, entitled El otro lado, retratos, fetichismos y confesiones, compiles a set of opinions, chronicles and portraits of renowned artists that shape a self-portrait in installments of the author herself, as Paco Cerdà notes in the 'Babelia' section of El País. Now, fellow Argentine journalist Leila Guerriero has been in charge of editing a volume that collects 130 journalistic columns published by Enriquez in recent years.
