Gracias para su interés. Busqué información sobre su libro y leí que es para jóvenes. Aunque reconozco que libros para los jóvenes son importante yo no los leo y no puedo ser un buen juez de libros para jóvenes. Desafortunadamente no hay suficiente tiempo para leer cada genero. Entonces, lo siento, pero tengo que decir que no puedo leer su libro.

Gracias para su interés.
Un saludo,
Paul

Gracias.

I checked out your site, too, and your posts are quite impressive. I’d say you have the whole lit bloging thing down. Gray is right, but at least you’ve got Powells.

I’ve added many a good book (especially Latin American authors!) to my ever expanding to-read list thanks to your posts. I’m trying to get into the whole “lit-blogging” thing to but definitely still have a long way to go… Anyway, just wanted to say keep up the good work! I’m based in Portland which is not that far from Seattle–but hey, rainy grey days are conducive to reading, right? :)

i’m in translation studies at umass amherst, and i’m hoping to write a paper about how English-reading public’s/academia’s idea of the Latin American “canon” has been crafted and simplified through translation, specifically by which authors have been chosen to be translated and which have not. i found the volpi lecture through your blog, and it has a lot to say on the subject in a general sense.
i’m wondering if you have a better grasp than i do of current latin american authors – i think i want to focus my paper on a set of three “representative” authors from one country – one who has been heavily translated, one who has some penetration in the english-speaking market, and one with little to no recognition in english speaking circles.
as i’m somewhat familar with chile and chilean lit, i was thinking of focusing there. would you mind emailing so i could ask you a couple of questions?
thanks
-aaron
