Siempre estoy
buscando… deseando sentirme en
casa.

La recopilacion definitiva de los textos autobiografico
jamas publicados de
Lucia Berlin.

Pese a la
calidad abrumadora de su escritura, tuvo que llegar Manual para mujeres
de la limpieza para que Lucia Berlin se convirtiera en una estrella
literaria sin igual. Sus historias estan pobladas de personajes, entornos y
emociones de la propia vida de la autora, una vida llena de precariedad y
cambios de rumbo.

Bienvenida a casa es
una recopilacion de textos autobiograficos en

la que Berlin estaba trabajando antes de su muerte y que muestra, con
la intimidad de una confidencia, los espacios mas personales de la vida de
una misteriosa autora que ya ha alcanzado el estatus de leyenda. El volumen
lo completan cartas y fotografias que hacen que este sea el objeto perfecto
para conocer de primera mano a Lucia Berlin como escritora y, tambien, como
ser humano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

As
the case with her fiction, Berlin’s pieces here are as faceted as the
brightest diamond. –Kristin Iversen, NYLON

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS’ CHOICE. Named a Fall Read by Buzzfeed,
Vulture, Newsday and HuffPost

A compilation of sketches, photographs, and letters, Welcome Home is an
essential nonfiction companion to the stories by Lucia Berlin

Before Lucia Berlin died, she was working on a book of previously
unpublished autobiographical sketches called Welcome Home. The work consisted
of more than twenty chapters that started in 1936 in Alaska and ended
(prematurely) in 1966 in southern Mexico. In our publication of Welcome Home,
her son Jeff Berlin is filling in the gaps with photos and letters from her
eventful, romantic, and tragic life.

From Alaska to Argentina, Kentucky to Mexico, New York City to Chile,
Berlin’s world was wide. And the writing here is, as we’ve come to expect,
dazzling. She describes the places she lived and the people she knew with all
the style and wit and heart and humor that readers fell in love with in her
stories. Combined with letters from and photos of friends and lovers, Welcome
Home is an essential nonfiction companion to A Manual for Cleaning Women and
Evening in Paradise.
