From London, Madrid, and Berlin to Seoul, New York, and Mexico City, this anthology describes the feeling of first arriving in 11 international cities from the perspective of 11 different Latin American writers. Although today anyone can virtually be anywhere in the world at the click of a button, this book attests that nothing compares to physically being in a city, being scared and delighted at the same time, and absorbing everything the place has to offer as well as all that it can hide. With grace and imagination, these fresh voices explain why they love--and sometimes hate--these cities. ""Desde Londres, Madrid y Berlin hasta Seul, Nueva York y la Ciudad de Mexico, esta antologia describe el sentimiento de llegar por primera vez a 11 ciudades internacionales desde la perspectiva de 11 escritores latinoamericanos diferentes. Aunque hoy el que sea puede estar en cualquier lugar del mundo a un clic de raton, este libro expone que nada puede comparar con estar fisicamente en una ciudad, estar asustado y encantado a la vez y absorber todo lo que puede ofrecer el lugar asi como todo lo que puede ocultar. Con gracia e imaginacion, estas voces frescas explican por que aman--y a veces odian--estas ciudades.""
