The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait by Carlos Fuentes, Frida Kahlo

5.0

this book PROVES without a shadow of a doubt that nobody has ever (or will ever) do it like Frida. The style of her diary and her writing is heart wrenchingly beautiful, and her sketches are just as alive as her paintings. I've loved getting to know her better through books, as much as anyone ever could. I also commend the brilliant introduction (best intro *I've* ever read), essay at the front of the book, and the incredible translating skills used to bring the book to gringas like me. Read this book!
