You wanna talk about tragedies, let's talk about tragedies: the burial of Luisa Valenzuela in the United States. From what I understand, she's a legend of Latin American literature, counting Carlos Fuentes, Julio Cortazar, and Jorge Luis Borges, the latter also a supporter and friend of the great Silvina Ocampo, whose readers I'd say are super-guilty of tokenizing Latin American writers as magical realists.

The narrator desires to understa..more
