No hay olvido (Sonata)
29/11/2013
Si me preguntáis en dónde he estado debo decir “Sucede”. Debo de hablar del suelo que oscurecen las piedras, del río que durando se destruye: no sé sino las cosas que los pájaros pierden, el mar dejado atrás, o mi hermana llorando. Por qué tantas regiones, por qué un día se junta con un día? … More No hay olvido (Sonata)
The menus for fall
28/11/2013
The first day of Thanksgiving was made up of pork tenderloin, red cabbage, espinacas catalana, and corn and quinoa cake with hints of chocolate and lime. But a real Scandinavian holiday does not have just one dinner. Tomorrow we will have roast organic chicken with apples and prunes, more red cabbage, and orange squash. That … More The menus for fall

Her father received a terminal diagnosis so she pointed out to him that now, not later, was the time to do anything he has wanted to do, while he still could. He said there was a large museum in a palace, in Paris, with beautiful paintings, and he would like to go. He is a … More Musée du Louvre

I cannot count the number of times I have had some person saying to me, you must … More And then, the opposite kind of academic advice

25/11/2013
The correct academic advice is that you should decide what you want to do and concentrate on that, and insist on conversing about that, as opposed to get caught by mentoring and advice. The problem with academic advice, normally, is that it is given by people who believe themselves infinitely superior to those they are … More Yet, still, more on academic advice
Des fragments Cécilia

What was I thinking about when I wrote these things down? Manzano’s Autobiography of a Slave Solás’1981 Cecilia Sibylle Fischer’s 2005 introduction to Lane’s translation of Cecilia (I think it discusses the certificate of whiteness; in any case, I have this book); it also says other tings I like Lamore’s introduction to the 2004 Cátedra … More Des fragments Cécilia
The most amazing job ad ever
