Big City Love is a journey through Mexico City through time and the people who have lived, visited or written about it, from its origins as a refuge for the Spanish people, until its transformation into one of the largest cities in the world. Vicente Quirarte offers with this book a portrait of the city, represented as a character that comes to life with the constant activity and renovation of its inhabitants.A walk through its streets, buildings and monuments gives a glimpse of the essence of the city to the viewer, at times chaotic but always enigmatic, making the task to distinguish between love and hate even more difficult that a place such as Mexico City may provoke. From the perspective of acclaimed writers, both Mexican and foreign, ranging from Cervantes to Elena Poniatowska, Quirarte manages to reconstruct the identity of a city that is constantly moving, and yet has no clear direction.

2012 edición "Amor de ciudad grande" es un recorrido por la Ciudad de México a través del tiempo y de la gente que la ha habitado, visitado o escrito sobre ella, desde sus comienzos como refugio de españoles hasta su transformación en una de las ciudades más grandes del mundo. Vicente Quirarte ofrece con este libro un retrato de la ciudad, representada como un personaje que cobra vida gracias a la constante actividad y renovación de sus habitantes. Un paseo por sus calles, edificios y monumentos deja entrever al observador una parte de la esencia de la ciudad, a momentos caótica pero siempre enigmática, lo que hace aún más difícil la tarea de discernir entre el amor y el odio que puede suscitar una ciudad como el Distrito Federal. Desde la mirada de consagrados escritores, tanto mexicanos como extranjeros, que van desde Cervantes hasta Elena Poniatowska, Quirarte logra reconstruir la identidad de una ciudad que está en constante movimiento, y que sin embargo no tiene un rumbo definido. páginas/pasges.
