Magnífico escritor: ¡lo felicito, y a la FIL! @marisolschulz.bsky.social

Este corazón no es de alcachofa sino de seda:

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”

El agua que quiso volar…

New for #WITMonth, stories of family life - the lives we live and those we want to - in Guadalupe Nettel's The Accidentals, translated by Rosalind Harvey and published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social - 1streading.wordpress.com/2025/08/08/t...

#WomenInTranslationMonth Let's take a moment to celebrate Carmen Boullosa and translator Samantha Schnee for the wondrous novel, THE BOOK OF ANNA. Russia. 1915. Boullosa tells a polyphonic and subversive tale of the Russian revolution through the lens of Tolstoy’s most beloved work.

#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.

Mi estigmata:

Los rascacielos severos y rígidos me miran áridos, pero éste, de costado un pelito redondeado, me baila (quiero creer que solo a mí), todos los días (solo a mí, solo a mí).

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...

¿Quién se avienta un versecillo (versecillo: “pieza de artillería de tamaño y calibre como la mitad de los de la culebrina”)?

Magali Lara y Assia Mohssine en conversación: share.google/wj5VeVv6ACaD...

Amo lo que escribe el universo, leo, “no puedes inferir el tamaño de un objeto sólido, te lo impide el brillo de la coma que lo antecede” - esto de un cometa interestelar que se nos acerca, la “coma” son los gases y el polvo que lo circundan

Tomo imagen de sombrero ajeno para decir que estoy muy contenta con esto:

María Negroni me recordó esta conversación - ¡de 2005!, en Nueva York: tv.cuny.edu/show/nuevayo...

Ora sí que mis 15 minutos de fama… ahí dice: de 7:00 a 7:15 el Viernes #trinomonero

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.

Acabo de ver "The Conversation" de Coppola (1974), con Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood...Me dio un gripó, supe que no sirvo estas horas para nada, pero a veces "no servir para nada" encierra tesoro...

@literaryhub.bsky.social “A boxer is all alone in the ring, and a writer is all alone at the typewriter.” (And both, boxer & writer, are fighting)

@neponita.bsky.social ¡felicidades muchas! Precioso que ahora cuides tú nuestro premio más querido. ¡Aplausos!

Watch what they do, not what they say.

And another day, I read a poem aloud, in Spanish, its translation was projected, and Magali Lara’s art was moving along, ar DIAA in Chelsea, diaart.org/media/watch-...

Hoy, 42 años después, suscribo que sigo siendo, como decía en aquel librillo de artista de 1982,

Before I forget to remember, a poem: www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Me persigue aquella “coma que hay perdida” de Sor Juana. Giro en caracol alrededor de ella desde eterno tiempo atrás

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.
