Cómo Aprendí a Leer

Like a girl who refuses to eat what's on her plate, the protagonist of this book didn't understand the lines that passed before her eyes, spitting up words. She liked the brevity and imagery of poems, but wouldn't touch the great novels. As a child, she believed there was a word for every sensation and object, until as an adolescent she discovered words to be imprecise, lacking, and rigid. That is, until everything changed--many years later.
