Mejía Baca published this in 1966. Antenor Orrego died in 1960. I still have my Vallejo project to do. I am not one of those who believes Vallejo was arguing as an Inca or anything like that, but there were all of these americanist projects at the time he was writing and Vallejo is in … More Orrego: Hacia un humanismo americano
An article I photocopied before there were online databases, and now I don’t need the photocopy because it is available in PDF via Project Muse. It’s in Nuevo Texto Crítico VIII:16/17 (Julio 1995-Junio 1996). Axé.
I want this book but it is very expensive. Also, I never doubted Trilce was a dadaist book. Anyway, the author is doing other interesting work as well. Apparently Vallejo’s grandmothers weren’t full-blooded Chimú, they were mestizas, and Larrea might not have been accurate on those gallego priests he allegedly had as grandfathers, either. Axé.
The collection of essays Tradition and renewal, on 20th century literature, is 49 years old and I am donating it, even though there are good things in it (it is available on archive.org). I feel that scholarship really has improved since then. I am again so sad that I couldn’t connect to it for so … More Vanguardias and Peter Dews
I had a photocopy of this facsimile copy of Colónida but as you see, it is now available online. I also had a photocopy of this Brazilian collection of essays on the avant-garde by smart and prominent people, but it is old now and can be seen at Tulane. There is also Transition 78, a … More Revista Colónida e mais vanguardas
I won’t list all the books I have in a bag to donate, because it will make me quail. They are books I would keep if I did not have others. Famous anthologies of avant-garde writing, famous editions, Suleiman’s Subversive Intent, still-valid Footprint guides to Central America, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, things like this. But the … More Mapas anatómicos de César Vallejo
This is another valuable, photocopied book that I am recycling. And there are things in it like photographs of the cover of first edition of Rusia en 1931. Reflexiones al pie del Kremlin, marvelously ’30s, and a Soviet postcard to Orrego. I will keep some of these things. There are also all of Orrego’s journalistic … More Antenor Orrego, Mi encuentro con César Vallejo
Here is the Jean Franco article. It is in another photocopied book I recycled, and that is good, and that was part of my identity, and that I should reread. The object itself was hard to let go, but the text is available, as you can see. Axé.
I was going to recycle this clean and complete photocopy but there isn’t a good online edition and the book isn’t easily available elsewhere. I love the author, Roberto Schwarz. I did not realize the title comes form a Kafka story, or that Diderot has a play by this title (that I should read). In … More O pai de família e outros estudos
Here is the book in PDF but the essay by that title isn’t in it and any book I would have that in is in the office. Perhaps I shouldn’t have moved them. But here we are. Vallejo praises Pablo Abril’s Ausencia (they were, of course, also friends). I like JM’s idea of using CeSP … More Contra el secreto profesional
