Más importante que imprimir libros para regalar es invertir en #bibliotecaspúblicas para compartir. Por eso este número de la @revistaunam.bsky.social es importantísimo. Necesitamos espacios públicos y de calidad, no libreros privados y pobres. www.revistadelauniversidad.mx/articles/cb4...

No puse el ojo sino en la bala. A ver si consigo terminar algún día esta novela, o si me reviento de aspirar tanta pólvora. No atendí el precepto: “los que escribís, escoged un asunto proporcionado a vuestras fuerzas y considerad despacio lo que puedan o no sostener vuestros hombros”

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Isabel Zapata and translator Robin Myers for the stunning memoir IN VITRO. With lovely and graceful prose, Isabel writes about the complexities of conception and motherhood, of bodily transformation and love. An absolute gem.

Really enjoyed "Dead Calm" by Carmen Boullosa (translated by Samantha Schnee) in the May 15 New York Review of books. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Dead Calm, by Carmen Boullosa, translated from the Spanish by Samantha Schnee

Calm in the garden after the night’s wild storm.
Hail’s needle has pierced the flowers, their tender verdure,
embroidering them with death in the darkness;
now all is blind silence.
One long, stiff leaf remains taut and intact,
a narrow green mirror,
a canoe full of water where the sun king shines—hypocrite?
I am a bone-dry grain of rice
observing this sliver of sky.

If that leaf-sword full of life, now nest of light,
twisted into a sickle, affirming Death with a question mark,
it would claim my blood.

Despite the storm this rigid, erect sword-leaf remains intact,
a narrow, calm, sunny lake;
beholding it,
I’m nothing but a grain of rice—no neck, no heart—
impervious to death.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.
