Flâneuse: Una Paseante En París, Nueva York, Tokio, Venecia Y Londres

Through descriptions of her walks through cities in which she has lived, Lauren Elkin writes a literal and metaphorical tour that gives us a new look at each and remarks on the unique experience of being a woman in these places. From trivial details to ample observations, she intertwines her personal experience with those of artists and writers whose perspectives transformed hers.

Elkin hace un recorrido literal y metafórico de las ciudades en las que ha vivido y, a través de sus paseos, nos descubre una nueva mirada y reivindica la experiencia singular de pasear siendo mujer. Parte del detalle más nimio a la observación más amplia, toma notas de su propia experiencia y las entrelaza con las de otras artistas, escritoras, cineastas y periodistas a las que admira y cuyas miradas han formado y transformado a la propia autora.

Lauren Elkin is a writer, English professor, and the co-director of the Center for New and International Writing at the University of Liverpool. Her essays have been published in the New York Times Book Review among other publications. Her first novel The Floating Cities won the Reader's Prize at the Rue des Livres Literary Festival.
