In Real Life: An Online Love Story is the first of its kind—a bilingual novel-in-poetry written by popular Spanish-language poet Leticia Sala. In Real Life is not only about a young Barcelona woman who finds romance online thousands of miles away in New York City, it is also an ode to the titanic effort required in staying loyal to a commitment and her own individuality in the silicon age.​
Told in a poetic key, the fate of this couple, whose relationship begins with love at first like, offers a fractured mosaic of essential moments crowded with insecurities and urban neuroses, both contemporary and universal. The characters in the work of Leticia Sala seek light in the chaos churned out by modern culture and are always treated by the author with compassion, regard, and respect for their unfolding desires.
In Real Life captures our infatuation with technology and finding new ways of relating to one another, our fascination with travel and language, and our age-old obsession with that right to love and feel loved.

Quotes

    Thanks to Michael, for having translated many of these poems into a new language, which in the end is like another dimension, with the respect and the ingenuity with which it must be done.

    year and a half that Pau and I spent engaged was the same time that I spent writing this book. It finally found its home at Andrews McMeel,

    When we returned to Hotel Locarno, I opened my email and found a message from Erin and Katherine, two agents from New York who wanted to help me publish my first book in the United States.
