"In the end, the subject, the characters, the highlighted object don't matter. What matters is the tone. How the words sound. The silences within the text. The narrative tone."

The neighborhood, the pandemic, travels, meditation, art – these are some of the topics and experiences that Marcos López captures in "Querido diario: cuatro años de su vida en anotaciones dispersas" (Dear Diary: Four Years of his Life in Scattered Notes). These notes are reflective, spiritual, sometimes humorous, sometimes contradictory. They are unmeasured and uncontrolled, everyday chronicles that never stray from the coastal, mixed-race worldview that permeates all of López's work.
