Alienation and contingency
05/08/2026
Vallejo was writing about these, I see what they are now. I have Badiou’s The Theory of the Subject and need to find it. Axé.

Vallejo and more
02/03/2026
I have so many files I had for work, that I got before the Internet. The ones I am recycling now are from RCLL in 1989 and thereabouts, including John Beverley on Tungsteno and why we should care about the novela social; Achúgar on literatura as a campo de batalla and what literature is generally, … More Vallejo and more
Orrego: Hacia un humanismo americano
19/10/2025
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
Juan Fló: Acerca de unos borradores de Vallejo
20/09/2025
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.
Trilce Dadá París
21/01/2025
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.
Vanguardias and Peter Dews
07/03/2024
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
Revista Colónida e mais vanguardas
05/03/2024
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
Mapas anatómicos de César Vallejo
18/02/2024
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
Antenor Orrego, Mi encuentro con César Vallejo
07/02/2024
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
La des-autorización de la voz poética / Freie U. Berlin
06/02/2024
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.
