Ya pronto llegan las primeras copias de "El sueño de la muerte" (Gnomo 2025). Ya dentro de un mes estara disponible en la mayoria de las librerias de Puerto Rico. O pueden ordenar conmigo.

Aquí comparto una cita sobre el libro de la gran escritora puertorriqueña Ana Marina Rúa.

With #BadBunny all in the news, and USAmericans and others interested in #PuertoRico, I'd like to recommend this book. It's short and you'll get a good understanding of PR #history and understand a bit about where BB comes from and how bad #colonialism is.

Reading #OscarWilde plays for the 1st time and blown away by the incredibly sharp wit. Read Dorian Gray ages ago & barely remember it, but I def don't remember it being as funny as Lady Windermere or Woman of No Importance or Ideal Husband.
Where's the biting satire of our current gilded classes?

Highly recommended double feature:
Persona (Bergman 1966)
Unsane (Soderbergh 2018)
Brace yourself for two seriously mental masterpieces.

That one late summer night at the beach a few years back remembering that awesome punk rock collection from the 80s.

Highly recommended double feature:
The Father (Zeller 2021)
Vortex (Noe 2021)
Amazing that both these different takes on dementia came out the same year and are both so good and so different.

Was in DC this past week and was introduced to Planet Word, an immersive language museum. It was amazing. That first photo, that's the elevator.

Note to self: First sentences are important, but don't forget about those last sentences. It's the last sentence!
Anyone have some favorite last sentences?
Here's the one that always comes to my mind:

Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would never leave that room, for it was foreseen that the city of mirrors (or mirages) would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth. –Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967; trans. Gregory Rabassa)

From the ICE website: Terrorism involves violence or the threat of violence against people or property to further a particular ideology.

By their own definition:
ICE is a terrorist organization.

That scene where Timothy Cavendish is at the Hanged Edward pub with Ernie, Victoria, and Mr Meeks in #CloudAtlas just had me in ruddy stitches. Hadn't laughed that hard reading a book in a long time.
This book is so amazingly good.

I love the garden as spring approaches. The tiny plants tell me the cold is behind us and even if it was a hard winter, there is reason to rejoice. And later they will feed us.
Here's some broccoli, snow peas, beets, carrots, spinash, and arugula.

The current state of affairs keeps me thinking about the #movie #Athena. Maybe it's time for a rewatch.
