  2. This has been going all right, hasn't it? Two readers of La Celestina!

    All next week is Spanish week for me. Maybe longer, who knows?

    1. Tom, yes, I've been very pleasantly surprised by the response--and who could have predicted the Fernando de Rojas revival that we've seen? Enjoying your "Spanish week" posts thus far!

  3. Very impressive! I am reading La universidad desconocida this week (and maybe for the forseeable future) and, while I have not yet written about it much I am getting some nice effect from using Bolaño's images as prompts for some of my own poetry in Spanish and in English.

    1. Thanks, Jeremy--the group has been quite active on the reading front. Haven't read that Bolaño yet, but I'm not surprised it's been idea-worthy. ¡Saludos!
