A coincidence or do bookstore spiders know how to read… spiderwebs?

That rare moment when a bookseller has time to read…

A friend working in a national park in Lithuania shared this note with me, written in a guest book by visitors from Spain…

“Visitors from Baeza, Jaen, in the Baltic countries, wish you a prompt integration into the USSR.”

A tastless joke or…?

Found my Proust’s madeleine…

Con lo que está pasando en el mundo, no es fácil dar con una lectura que nos recuerde que el humor (y el amor) puede sobrevivir a los años y tiempos difíciles. No es simplemente un intercambio de cartas entre Szymborska y Filipowicz: se cuelan también alter egos, personajes inventados.. y mucha luz.

On my way from one faculty to another in my old university in Kaunas. I had forgotten how beautiful my hometown is.

Spring has come.

Pavese me ha dejado pensando.

Waiting for the spring.

Blaise Pascal wrote this almost 400 years ago and it still stands today.

That morning hour on calle Amparo when the sunlight hits directly, people turn into shadows, and the streetlights look as if they have been lit.

I’ve been slowly reading this for a long time now, partly because it needs concentration and @lib-parenthesis.bsky.social is keeping me busy, but also because I don’t want it to end. Hustvedt’s essays on art, science, feminism and more have become my companion and I know I’d feel lonely without it.
