Childhood notebooks

Originally published in 1937, the book marks the author's definitive transition from poetry to prose. Throughout its pages, we find fragments of her childhood: a trip to Mendoza that culminates in the loss of a family member; her father spending his days at the office, which sparks his daughters' curiosity; her older sister noticing her body taking on new shapes and curves... Written in short chapters, Childhood Notebooks brings to mind an old photo album to be retrieved and leafed through; a book that invites the reader to wander through its pages with a curious, lucid, and tender gaze.
