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.

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.
