Hilandera de Historias

This book is a collection of articles previously published in newspapers, compiled by Argentine author and journalist Elina Malamud. The book presents a journey through time and space, organized into thematic sections: stories from Latin America (referenced as Abya Yala), events in Argentina, Jewish history and experiences, world historical events, and reflections from the COVID-19 pandemic. Malamud combines erudition with a fresh writing style that employs Argentine slang and popular language to address significant social and political topics. The collection is enhanced by illustrations by REP (Miguel Repiso) that complement and add nuance to the text. As noted in Daniel Divinsky's prologue, these chronicles maintain their vitality despite the time elapsed since their original publication due to both the persistent relevance of the topics and the author's distinctive writing style.
