UN LIBRO BRILLANTE, LIBRE Y AFILADO SOBRE EL AMOR, LA LITERATURA Y EL ESTILO. «Tiene una mirada única que armoniza la belleza y el gozo sensorial con la cicatriz de cualquiera que se haya tomado algo en serio el acto de vivir . - Eva Blanco, Vogue «Una conmovedora equilibrista de los sentimientos .- Le Monde «Milena Busquets se desliza por sus libros con la misma ligereza y aparente desentendimiento de lo que ocurre . - Anna Caballé, Babelia Asà que la elegancia no es lo más alto? No, la vida y el arte están por encima. Milena Busquets reúne aquà una serie de textos en los que la reflexión Ãntima, el humor y la lucidez componen una obra de rara libertad. Entre el ensayo personal, la autobiografÃa y la poética, estas páginas recorren el amor, la belleza, la amistad, la maternidad, el estilo, la literatura y el paso del tiempo con una mirada incisiva y sutil. Nada es aquà accesorio: ni Proust ni Cadaqués, ni la ropa ni los hombres, ni el recuerdo de la madre ni la escritura. Todo se integra en una voz que ha hecho de lo cotidiano materia de su escritura, y de la aparente levedad una forma de inteligencia. Con el tono inconfundible que caracteriza su narrativa --irónica, vivÃsima--, Mujeres elegantes confirma la singularidad de una de las voces más reconocibles de la literatura contemporánea en español. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A BRILLIANT, SHARP, AND LIBERATING BOOK ABOUT LOVE, LITERATURE, AND STYLE.
She possesses a unique perspective, one that reconciles beauty and sensual pleasure with the scars borne by anyone who has taken the act of living seriously. --Eva Blanco, Vogue
A moving tightrope walker of the emotions. --Le Monde
Milena Busquets glides through her books with the same lightness and apparent detachment from whatever is happening around her. --Anna Caballé, Babelia
So elegance is not the highest ideal? No. Life and art stand above it.
In this collection, Milena Busquets brings together a series of texts in which intimate reflection, humor, and insight combine to create a work of rare freedom. Moving between personal essay, autobiography, and literary meditation, these pages explore love, beauty, friendship, motherhood, style, literature, and the passage of time through a gaze that is both incisive and subtle. Nothing here is incidental: not Proust or Cadaqués, not clothes or men, not the memory of a mother or the act of writing itself. Everything is woven into a voice that has made everyday life the raw material of its art, and apparent lightness a form of intelligence. With the unmistakable tone that defines her work--ironic, vibrant, and deeply alive--Elegant Women confirms the singular talent of one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in contemporary Spanish-language literature.
