El arte de la autorreflexión y otras pendejadas
by Patricia Delgadillo

A raw, funny, unflinching collection of personal essays, letters, and stories — written primarily in Spanish, with the English that slips in naturally when you've lived your whole life switching tongues.

Born in Bogotá and raised from age twelve in Florida, then Seattle, then back to Bogotá, Delgadillo writes from the fault line between two languages, two countries, two selves. She excavates a childhood shaped by a volatile mother; grieves a beloved dog through diagnosis, a last camping trip, and the silence after; writes an open letter to the brother she's spent decades learning how to love; and turns a hard-won, therapist's-eye honesty on anxiety, memory, and the beauty industry that profits off women's fear of aging.

Funny, angry, tender — self-reflection with its guard down. Pendejadas and all.
