Echt nadería

Whitman fue el primer Atlante que intentó realizar esa porfía y se echó el mundo a cuestas. Creía que bastaba enumerar los nombres de las cosas, para que enseguida se tantease lo únicas y sorprendentes que son. Por eso, en sus poemas, junto a mucha bella retórica, se enristran gárrulas series de palabras, a veces … More Echt nadería
On being “positive”
14/02/2015
I made a few comments elsewhere, that these are nice instructions for living but are not psychology. I wanted to say more, but it would not have been polite, as it was on the author’s sister’s Facebook page and she is a colleague. The author holds a chair and is famous and powerful, but his work is … More On being “positive”
Encore de la nadería
12/02/2015
No hay tal yo de conjunto. Allende toda posibilidad de sentenciosa tahurería, he tocado con mi emoción ese desengaño en trance de separarme de un compañero. Retornaba yo a Buenos Aires y dejábale a él en Mallorca. Entrambos comprendimos que salvo en esa cercanía mentirosa o distinta que hay en las cartas, no nos encontraríamos … More Encore de la nadería
Yet more nadería

La atestiguación segunda la saco del tercer trozo de la Vida e historia de Torres Villarroel. Este sistematizador de Quevedo, docto en estrellería, dueño y señor de todas las palabras, avezado al manejo de las más gritonas figuras, quiso también definirse, y palpó su fundamental incongruencia; vio que era semejante a los otros, vale decir, … More Yet more nadería
Things you could not do in Spanish classes before the Internet
05/02/2015
Derrotero. He advertido que en general la aquiescencia concedida por el hombre en situación de leyente a un riguroso eslabonamiento dialéctico, no es más que una holgazana incapacidad para tantear las pruebas que el escritor aduce y una borrosa confianza en la honradez del mismo. Pero una vez cerrado el volumen y dispersada la lectura, … More Things you could not do in Spanish classes before the Internet
Communist activity: black radical texts
04/02/2015
This is a preliminary PDF, released for reading groups in Oakland and elsewhere, and not wide-release (the final version of the reader). It was a joint project of the Communist Research Cluster and Viewpoint Magazine. It is the rough draft of what will become volume 2 of the CRC series “Communist Interventions.” The first volume, … More Communist activity: black radical texts

Look here. Moro is yet another Peruvian poet with a problematic manuscript tradition, or at least edition tradition. I want this edition of La tortuga ecuestre but this store does not seem to mail internationally. Axé.
And… reading for pleasure Sunday

I am reading Francisco Goldman, The Interior Circuit; Pedro Granados, Soledad impura, and C. D. Wright, One Big Self: An Investigation. I do not have Deborah Luster’s book of photographs that accompanies this last, but you can look at part of it here, and part of it here. I am promoting Powell’s Books to get us … More And… reading for pleasure Sunday
The past resembles the present
24/01/2015
One of the best media critics is Karl Kraus, whose Last Days of Mankind satirized the Viennese of his day in their love of gossip and gossip dressed up as news. Coffeeshops were abuzz with the latest rumors and disasters, culminating in the disaster of WW I. What I always remember from this play, a … More The past resembles the present
