DNF'd as just not for me, blunt, short observational reflections on every day life in Buenos Aires. If had read on may have learned more about her and the context of her lived experiences but not for me.

Presented in a form almost unheard of in the English speaking world, Uhart's collecton of crónicas is an urgent and valuable glimpse into a world beyond the hegemony of the west. Capturing in bright, seamless prose the intricacies of Latin American culture and history and contemporary politics, this collection is a treat.

This bundle of stories from Hebe Uhart was delightful and such an adventure. The author details her travels in a frank yet quaint manner. Reading these stories felt like catching up with a familiar friend! I did enjoy the causal yet informal tone Uhart carries throughout this collection, however I wish we would have heard a bit more personal reflection or musings on life from her time spent traveling, meeting new people/tribes, and just overall her outlook on life as the title suggested we would. Overall, I enjoyed my time inside these short scenes from Uhart's journeys.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I so enjoyed reading the short stories by Hebe Uhart! Hebe’s ways of narrating these short stories is such of bluntness, character and humor.
I could feel Hebe retelling the stories with such “Bah” and enthusiasm!

My favorites were: “I didn’t know”, “Off To Mexico”, “Good Manners”.

These were some cozy readings and you can pick up your pace and read it as you please. In my case, I read it in one go as I’m a little bit “chismosa” sometimes, ha!
