Overview
«Laura Sofía Rivero ha escrito, en estos ensayos, un encendido elogio del pensamiento. Mordaz, hilarante, tierna, siempre inteligente, Rivero no se arredra ante la aventura de preguntar. Todo lo que hay es digno de una atenciónreconcentrada, desde la pijama hasta el carácter de las ardillas. Un libro irreverente y delicado, que devuelve al ensayo su cualidad de artefacto metamórfico.»-Verónica Murguía
