I discovered Lispector one day at the used book store when I saw The Hour of the Star. I picked it up immediately and loved the design of it and how bright it was. I went home and read it in one go. It was unlike anything I’ve read before. Ever since I’ve been a huge fan of her work and would like to get through all Of her books.

Listen I’m Colombian so of course I read a few of Gabo’s (Gabriel Garcia Marquez for those who are unaware) oeuvre, as he is a national treasure. As much I adore Love in the Time of Cholera, I feel Strange Pilgrims (or Doce Cuentos Peregrinos) is just as amazing. It is a collection of short stories of various Latin Americans residing in Europe and my personal favourite is Sleeping Beauty and the Airplane as it perfectly encapsulates the trip between CDG and JFK. For the anglophones, both of these books were also translated by Edith Grossman who also translated the copy of Don Quixote we read at my secondary school and I feel the translator means just as much as the author and she was an incredible one in what I’ve read that she’s done.

I’ve been rewatching his shows and falling in love with his work, yet again. One of the coolest men who have ever lived and has inspired me throughout my entire life. If I am ever not singing the praises of this man, something is deeply wrong with me. Now the question is: what is his best show?

It is my belief that so many people would be less lonely if they invited their friends to do their mundane errands and chores together. Dont have time to see your friends, cant afford to go out to socialize? Invite your friends to things you already will be doing and it ease some of the pain of the responsibilities. Or call someone to come over if you made a little too much for dinner. here is what I shared tonight: chicken thighs, fairy tale eggplant, fennel salad, and a nice groleau red wine
