ICNY welcomes the writer Elvira Lindo, who will read from her latest book ‘Places I Do Not Want to Share with Anyone’. In its pages, the author visits places in New York that represent something special, spots that are personally evocative or that belong to our collective imagination through film or literature. Through a conversation with a stranger in Queens, to whom the writer has to explain who she is, Elvira gives us a portrait of herself as she reminisces about her secret corners of the Big Apple, some of which still exist and others that live on in the heart.The writer’s style is all her own, a voice as literary as it is empathetic, as straightforward as it is familiar, devoid of rhetoric. Her prose blends the everyday and the intimate with a very particular manner of observing the surroundings. «This book is a trap for myself. I talk about places that I do not want to share with anyone because they are part of my daily life. It is not a tourist guide, but you know, like the gossip who cannot help but tell you a secret, the narrator falls into the habit of writing about how she lives.»
