Una lectura fácil y rápida. No me conmovió, pero me gustaría leer más obras de Bellatin. Puntos extra por las fotografías al final.

Muy interesante leerlo desde la perspectiva de los afectos. Me resonó mucho con la noción de dolor de Sara Ahmed, en política cultural de las emociones.

My favorite part of this book was the idea of reciting or really declaiming lyrics of pop music for a living. After listening to a little Chico Buarque and Roberto Carlos, it was just hilarious to imagine.
