Visible Cities

In this series of essays, the author, who is from Mexico, gives her impressions and remembrances of various cities that she has visited around the world, including Prague, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Lima, Suva, and Bangkok. It is a book about the nostalgia that grows over time about the places she has visited, but it is also a tome where one can learn about the impacts on the world of love, war, imperialism, race, travel, Maximilian, México, Buddhism, umbrellas, traditions, and many other things. This work received the Dolores Castro Prize for literature written by women from Aguascalientes, Mexico.
