Still, it'd be great to hear what you think of Rulfo's "it" novel (love that characterization of its popularity for this event!).

(And it looks like Perdo is quite the "it" title of the Mexicans lost in Mexico season...) amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-83005189177550576502016-03-05T00:09:02.274-05:002016-03-05T00:09:02.274-05:00A Pedro Páramo blowout seems like my kind of party...A <em>Pedro Páramo</em> blowout seems like my kind of party.

I don't know if it'd interest you or not, but Luis Harss has a 1966 book called <em>Into the Mainstream: Conversations with Latin American Writers</em> which has a chapter on Rulfo that might be worth a gander given the dearth of criticism on him in English. I was thinking of writing about the chapter before the end of our event, but it will surely be better reading when unmediated by me!

There is a lot of it, but of course it's almost all in Spanish, so mostly beyond me, dammit. Which means that a good critical edition in English would be a blessing.scott g.f.baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726743149139510832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-48970198789685329622016-03-03T00:45:48.407-05:002016-03-03T00:45:48.407-05:00No worries.
