Escribí Las venas para difundir ideas ajenas y experiencias propias que quizás ayuden un poquito, en su realista medida, a despejar los interrogantes que nos persiguen desde siempre: es América Latina una región del mundo condenada a la humillación y a la pobreza? Condenada por quien? Culpa de Dios, culpa de la naturaleza? No será la desgracia un producto de la historia, hecha por los hombres y que por los hombres puede, por lo tanto, ser deshecha? Este libro fue escrito con la intención de divulgar ciertos hechos que la historia oficial, historia contada por los vencedores, esconde o miente. Se que pudo resultar sacrílego que este manual de divulgación hablara de economía política en el estilo de una novela de amor o de piratas. Creo que no hay vanidad en la alegría de comprobar, al cabo del tiempo, que Las venas no ha sido un libro mudo.

A much-anticipated, hilarious new essay collection from #1 New York Times bestselling unabashed fan-favorite Samantha Irby invites us to share in the gory particulars of her real life, all that festers behind the glitter and glam. "America's most talented comic writer." --The New Republic "Stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny... irresistible as a snack tray, as intimately pleasurable as an Irish goodbye." --Jia Tolentino Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wow, No Thank You, Samantha Irby has returned to the printed page with a much-anticipated new collection of side-splitting essays, and not a moment too soon. Irby's career has taken her to new heights. She dodges calls from Hollywood and flop sweats on the red carpet at premieres (well, one premiere). But nothing is ever as it seems online, where she can crop out all the ugly parts. Irby got a lot of weird emails about Carrie Bradshaw, and not only is there diarrhea to avoid, but now--anaphylactic shock. She is turned away from restaurants for being inappropriately dressed and looks for the best ways to cope, i.e., reveling in the offerings of QVC and adopting a deranged pandemic dog. Filled with such unabashed gems as advice for the bathroom etiquette you were dying to know but always too afraid to ask about and an exposé on how to speak with an actual teenager, Quietly Hostile makes light as Irby takes us on another outrageously funny tour of all the gory details that make up the true portrait of a life behind the screenshotted depression memes. Relatable, poignant, and uproarious, once again, Irby is the tonic we all need to get by. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL.
