We're asking big questions in @thecrashcourse.bsky.social Latin American literature! How did “Latin American literature” come to be? In our second episode, we trace the origins of this region’s stories from the pre-Columbian era all the way to the Boom of the 1960s.

Casi 3 años después de traducir Girlhood (Nena, por Chai Editora), por fin conocí a Melissa Febos y ahora soy dueña de uno de mis objetos más preciados: mi traducción firmada por ella (con una dedicatoria muy especial, que me guardo). Su nuevo libro es increíble y todavía no se tradujo al español 👀
