¿Por qué, para qué y cómo escribe un periodista; de qué está hecha su vocación y qué es lo que le da sentido en estos tiempos? Zona de obras reúne columnas, conferencias y ensayos que la argentina Leila Guerriero hilvanó en torno a esas preguntas y que, publicados en diversos medios o leídos en encuentros literarios en América Latina y en España, se recogen por primera vez en un libro. El resultado es un mural en el que cada pieza apunta al corazón del oficio, lo ilumina y, al mismo tiempo, lo cuestiona: ¿cómo y cuándo nace la pulsión por escribir; de qué manera se alimenta; por qué vale la pena llevar un texto periodístico a su máximo potencial expresivo? Este es un libro sobre la escritura de no ficción pero, también, sobre el cine, el cómic, las artes plásticas, la infancia, Madame Bovary, Africa, los padres y las lecturas, y respira, en cada una de sus páginas, la convicción de que el periodismo no es un género menor sino un género literario en sí mismo.
Why, for what and how does a journalist write? What is his vocation made of and what gives it meaning in these times? Works Zone brings together columns, conferences and essays that the Argentinean Leila Guerriero put together around these questions and that, published in various media or read at literary meetings in Latin America and Spain, are collected for the first time in a book. The result is a mural in which each piece points to the heart of the craft, illuminates it and, at the same time, questions it: how and when is the drive to write born? Why is it worth taking a journalistic text to its maximum expressive potential? This is a book about non-fiction writing, but also about cinema, comics, plastic arts, childhood, Madame Bovary, Africa, parents and reading, and it breathes, in each of its pages, the conviction that journalism is not a minor genre but a literary genre in itself.
