“Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means to render our lives believable.”

By my favourite Latin American Non-Fiction author: Leila Guerriero
Back cover:
“At the end of the sixties, at the age of thirteen, Argentine Silvia Labayru was a shy teenager, a reader, an animal lover, and an enthusiast of John F. Kennedy, the daughter of a military family that included her father, a member of the Air Force and a civilian pilot. At that age she entered the Buenos Aires National School, a highly prestigious public institution, where she came into contact with leftist student groups and became a fierce militant. In March 1976, a coup d'état occurred in Argentina that began a military dictatorship. By then, five months pregnant and twenty years old, Ella Labayru was a member of the Intelligence sector of the Montoneros organization, an armed group of Peronist extraction.
On December 29, 1976, she was kidnapped by the military and transferred to the ESMA, the Navy Mechanics School, where a clandestine detention center operated in which thousands of people were tortured and murdered.
There she had her daughter who, a week later, was handed over to her paternal grandparents. At ESMA, Labayru was tortured, forced to perform slave labor, repeatedly raped by an officer, and forced to play the role of sister to Alfredo Astiz, a member of the Navy who had infiltrated the Madres de Plaza de Mayo organization, a operation that ended with three Mothers and two French nuns missing. She was released in June 1978 and on the plane to Madrid, with her one and a half year old daughter, she thought:
"Hell is over." But hell was not over. The Argentines in exile repudiated her, accusing her of being a traitor following the disappearance of her Mothers. Abhorred by those who had been her fellow militants, supported by a few faithful friends exiled in Europe, she made a life.
Until 2018, when a man who had been her partner in the 1970s contacted her from Buenos Aires and, in a sequence in which family manipulations that twisted destiny came together, a story began to unfold that continues to this day.
Journalist Leila Guerriero began interviewing her in 2021, while awaiting the verdict of the first trial for crimes of sexual violence committed against women kidnapped during the dictatorship, in which she Labayru was a complainant. Over the course of almost two years, she spoke with her friends, her ex-partners, her current partner, her children, and her companions in captivity and militancy. The result is the portrait of a woman with a complex story in which love, sex, violence, humor, children, parents, infidelity, politics, friends, moving, and in that flies over a telephone call that, made from ESMA on March 14, 1977, saved his life.
«Good journalism and good literature are one and the same thing, and Leila Guerriero knows how to write that thing (whatever she wants to call it) like no other among contemporary Latin American journalists» (Patricio Pron).
«The journalism that Leila Guerriero practices is that of the best editors in the world.
New Yorker: it involves rigorous work, exhaustive research and a style of mathematical precision» (Mario Vargas Llosa).”
In an unexpected twist, I just found out that my thesis project was approved. Only one jury disapproved it and she was the one who warned me, but it was only her part! 
Friendly reminder’s day ✌️
