    About this ebook

    In this series of essays, the author, who is from Mexico, gives her impressions and remembrances of various cities that she has visited around the world, including Prague, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Lima, Suva, and Bangkok. It is a book about the nostalgia that grows over time about the places she has visited, but it is also a tome where one can learn about the impacts on the world of love, war, imperialism, race, travel, Maximilian, México, Buddhism, umbrellas, traditions, and many other things. This work received the Dolores Castro Prize for literature written by women from Aguascalientes, Mexico.

      Lost in an Infinite Twilight: Mathias Énard’s ‘Tell Them of Battles, Kings, and Elephants’

      Jan 24, 2019

      Énard’s language lingers in these scenes, writing around the activity of the artist rather than indulging in encomia of genius. “It’s work, above all.” The post Lost in an Infinite Twilight: Mathias Énard’s ‘Tell Them of Battles, Kings, and Elephants

      Books Decide for Me: The Millions Interviews Ersi Sotiropoulos

      Jan 4, 2019

      [A writer] does not have to be a mirror for his time. This is very silly, I think. Always, you have to step back a little. I, personally, take distance. The post Books Decide for Me: The Millions Interviews Ersi Sotiropoulos appeared first on The Mil

      The Madness of Venice

      Apr 2, 2018

      1. I lived in Venice for two years, and I hated it. In conversations I used euphemisms and turns of phrase (among my favorite either you love it or hate it! and it’s a… difficult city), but I was lying through my teeth. I fucking hated it

      I have always rather envied the poet Ovid, who was banished from Rome by the emperor Augustus, you may remember, to a remote place called Tomis on the shores of the Black Sea. There he died, ten years later, and his exile has gone into legend and int

      Paris Was Yesterday

      Mar 10, 2021

      THE lane between the farm and the village was still half underwater, so my husband, jabbed weeks ago, insisted on driving me to the village hall in his pickup truck. We loaded up like an old couple going on a day trip to the seaside, me with a Thermo
