El Otro Lado

by Mariana Enriquez

We find in these pages from an interview with the legendary Argentinian rocker Charly García to a text about the fixation with the author's low-cut dress. Poignant personal pieces of hers about her beginnings as a writer, the first time she was called ma'am or her fascination with homosexual eroticism coexist with splendid portraits of writers such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley or Neil Gaiman. Eccentric figures such as Hubert Selby Jr., Kenneth Anger or Joe Dallesandro are also addressed; musicians like Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, or David Bowie; actors like Asia Argento or Jared Leto; female myths like Sylvia Plath or Kate Moss... An essential book for fans of the author and for any lover of vibrant journalism and good literature.
