la sociedad y los obstáculos de la justicia. «Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas».Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio. Esa mañana invernal comienza para la narradora otro duro proceso: encontrar representación legal, entender las lógicas burocráticas de la Justicia, tejer redes de apoyo para afrontar la causa contra su tío, un comisario poderoso, y juntar coraje para reabrir un expediente que lleva al pasado familiar. Sin demagogias, Belén López Peiró revisa los contornos difusos de los recuerdos; ensaya respuestas al agobio de audiencias humillantes e indaga en los laberintos de los juicios por jurado. Donde no hago pie profundiza el proyecto literario de Por qué volvías cada verano, antecedente clave de miles de denuncias anónimas y otras de enorme repercusión mediática. Con un ritmo avasallante, esta crónica encuentra las palabras para transformar en acción política un delito que pretendía permanecer secreto. Sobre Por qué volvías cada verano, la crítica dijo: «Uno de los 18 mejores libros del año».Revista Rolling Stone «De una contundencia expresiva increíble».Mauro Libertella, La Agenda «Una de las autoras del año».Carolina Amoroso, TN «Uno de los textos más valientes y más crudos que apareció recientemente».Agustina Larrea, InfobaeThe Death of Me

When Isaac Naylor committed suicide after a teenage fan was found dead in his hotel room, the world thought it…
had lost one of the greatest rock stars of a generation. Naylor, lead singer of The Ospreys, had been arrested for causing the girl's death and was on police bail when he drowned himself in the sea off the Devon coast, leaving two notes addressed to his bandmates and his younger brother, Toby, discarded on the beach.Now, eight years on, music journalist Natalie Glass stumbles across a blind item on a US gossip website that suggests Naylor's death wasn't quite what it seemed - and he might in fact still be alive. The item claims he is the mystery songwriter who has for the past year been submitting lyrics to producers in London via his lawyer for other artists to record. He insists on anonymity and the only person who knows his identity is the lawyer.But as she delves deeper into what happened, the plot to stop her intensifies and Natalie finds she has a stark choice: give up trying to find out what happened to Naylor or risk her own obituary ending up in print.
