The link between fiction and the reader’s empathetic response is well documented in literary theory and demonstrates the importance of our field in current debates on AI. Take, for example, Booth’s The Company We Keep or Nussbaum’s Love’s Knowledge, two classical texts that should be revisited.

No one, like Xuan Bello, made me realize the importance of combining a deep knowledge of the Asturian language with a rigorous reading of world literatures. This bilingual edition (Spanish-Asturian) of his poetry attests to his sensitivity and his unique way of seeing the world. Rest in peace.
