Parte de mí

The reader is holding in their hands the diary of a writer during the first year of the pandemic. A peculiar diary, since she wrote it in successive Instagram entries, under the hashtag #ParteDeMí. The first entry is from April 17, a month after the confinement was ordered, and the last from December 31. Each text is accompanied by an image and the first one we see is a box of sewing threads from the writer's grandmother, a box that is "part of me", like everything else that will appear. And each image is accompanied by a text. This is a book built with scraps of life, objects, people, memories, sensations, and moments. It is the daily newspaper of everyday life that continued to flow when the extraordinary was installed in our lives. This intimate testimony of a strange year demonstrates the talent of Marta Sanz to create a little literary jewel out of the apparently irrelevant.
