La dificultad del fantasma
Leila Guerriero

NONFICTION | 2024 | 144 pages

Leila Guerriero traces Truman Capote’s footsteps in Costa Brava, where he wrote a large part of In Cold Blood.

Shortly after finishing La llamada, one of the best nonficition books in recent times, Leila Guerriero made her way to Costa Brava to follow Truman Capote’s footsteps.

The result is La dificultad del fantasma—a sharp, structured, styled, and somberly rhythmic work that combines an investigation on the terrain, reporting on the manipulation of memory, a writing diary, and a reflection on the exercise of a literary genre that Capote attempted to found, precisely with In Cold Blood. A genre that Leila Guerriero has taken to extraordinary levels of rigor and excellence.
