Elena Garro?
03/08/2012
I did not know there had been a Mexican literary connection to the Kennedy assassination but look: One reason the Alvarado story could be endorsed vigorously by CIA Station Chief Scott was that it was corroborated in small details by other Phase-One stories, also from intelligence sources, and later similarly retracted.[76] One of these corroborative … More Elena Garro?
El espejo paraguayo
29/07/2012
Medio siglo de movimiento campesino, el principal movimiento antisistémico del Paraguay, muestra que no hay atajos que puedan sustituir el conflicto de clases. Que la presión internacional por sí sola no puede modificar la relación de fuerzas. Que hay varios tipos de derrotas. Que la derrota por represión no es tan destructiva como la institucionalización. … More El espejo paraguayo
Plantation Nation
29/07/2012
Our police are being given paramilitary training and powers that are completely out of line with their duty to serve and protect, but much more in keeping with a mission to subdue and suppress. That is only a small part of what the Northern Gaijin has to say in his important post, but it is … More Plantation Nation
Black neighborhoods in Elizabethan London
29/07/2012
Most of us tend to think that black people came to Britain after the war – Caribbeans on the Empire Windrush in 1948, Bangladeshis after the 1971 war and Ugandan Asians after Idi Amin’s expulsion in 1972. But, back in Shakespeare’s day, you could have met people from west Africa and even Bengal in the … More Black neighborhoods in Elizabethan London

On the drug war
25/07/2012
What I am about to quote is just from Wikipedia and I realize it has been flagged as biased, but the studies it quotes are studies. The drug war is surely an excuse to fund the defense industry and justify militarization, and I am convinced that in practice it is also a war over the … More On the drug war
Denis de Rougemont on Verdun
23/07/2012
A million soldiers died at Verdun, including the German painter Franz Marc who was 36 at the time. Before Verdun, says Denis de Rougemont toward the end of L’Amour et l’Occident, it was possible to find parallels between codes of chivalry and codes of war; with total war, this comes to an end. (My research … More Denis de Rougemont on Verdun
Short story noir II
22/07/2012
There is a character in the story I would like to interview so as to understand. I do not understand her or identify in any way but I would like to understand, to be able to see the world from her view. I want to find other literary characters like this. It is a person … More Short story noir II
Nouvelle saison
22/07/2012
Now the sun moves into Leo, and there is still another month before classes start. That means another month to do my summer things: research and writing, swimming and yoga, house and yardwork, all in a rhythm. My goal for this year is to be self contained. The banes of my existence are early undergraduate … More Nouvelle saison
