This is not your mother's memoir. In The Chronology of Water, Lidia Yuknavitch expertly moves the listener through issues of gender, sexuality, violence, and the family from the point of view of a lifelong swimmer turned artist.

Presented for the first time, this one-volume assemblage of her diaries and notebooks posthumously discovered behind Highsmith’s linens and culled from more than 8,000 pages by her devoted editor, Anna von Planta—traces the mesmerizing double-life of an artist who “[worked] like mad to be something”.

Antonia Fraser's memoir describes growing up in the 1930s and 1940s but its real concern is with her growing love of history.

Her groundbreaking book, The Hite Report, was the first feminist exploration of the link between sex and male power. It sold millions of copies when first published in 1976 and revolutionized the way people thought about marriage and the female orgasm. How, then, did it, and Hite, disappear from public consciousness?

On 27 June 1872, she embarked on a trip through the mountains with her friend Lucy Renshaw.

En 1989 la industria delespectáculo posicionó a Gloria Trevi como un fenómeno musical que marcaría la historia del entretenimiento mexicano, con una irreverencia no vista en los escenarios hasta ese momento. Pero lo que no se analizaba —porque no se sabía a fondo, estaba escondido de manera perspicaz o no estábamos preparados como sociedad para entenderlo— es que detrás se encontraba tal vez uno de los casos más crueles de la historia del espectáculo, no sólo en nuestro país, sino en el mundo entero.
