"Guerrero irrefutably proves that journalism is one of the beaux arts. Below the light and agile surface that grabs your attention from the first lines, she shows a sureness and a seriousness that confer on her work a powerful consistency." -- Mario Vargas Llosa - El País
"A Simple Story recounts delirious obsession and mastery, and proves beyond a doubt that journalism has a place in the literary bracket." -- Largehearted Boy
"Hats off to Guerriero" -- Dan Piepenbring - The Paris Review
"
A Simple Story is about an expression of a culture that, unlike tango, has been passed over, neglected or forgotten by all but a few devotees, for whom it is an obsession. Its obscurity, this book suggests, is its salvation." -- The Economist
"An epic of noble proportions—Guerriero is a mistress of the telling phrase or the revealing detail." -- Sarah Crompton - The Spectator
