Summary:
"Las niñas bien, primer libro publicado de Guadalupe Loaeza, ya contiene todas las vetas que la autora exploró más tarde en su obra y se ha convertido en su volumen emblemático. Con inocencia, gracia y espíritu divertido, en los textos que lo integran Loaeza retrata con fidelidad al sector más adinerado de la sociedad mexicana. Muy lejos de tener pretensiones académicas, sus piezas son crónicas maliciosas de diferentes aspectos de esas vidas que transcurren rodeadas de objetos suntuarios, viajes al extranjero, costosas prendas de vestir y casas espectaculares. Tales vidas, en contraste, no parecen hallar un espacio dónde situarse más allá de sus alardes de poder adquisitivo y del singular espacio geográfico de los centros comerciales. A dos décadas de su primera edición este libro puede leerse también como un álbum de recuerdos. Hoy día los ricos se divierten en otros lados, fueron reeducados por las crisis o cayeron junto con la bolsa de valores. " -- amazon.com
Fated to become her most famous title, this first book by Guadalupe Loaeza contains all the elements that she would explore in her later work. With innocence, grace, and funny spirit, this text portrays the wealthiest sector of Mexican society. Far from having academic pretensions, the author's pieces are malicious chronicles of different aspects of these lives surrounded by luxury objects, trips abroad, expensive clothing, and spectacular homes. And yet, these lives seem to lack a resting place beyond their displays of acquisitive power and the space of the shopping mall. Two decades since its first edition, this book can also be read like a scrapbook--for today, the rich find fun in other ways, were changed by economic crises, or fell along with the stock market. -- amazon.com
