Music, Movies, and Books

Orlando, by Virginia Woolf, is possibly my favorite book. I generally don't have favorite anythings. Tend to read 3-4 books at the same time. But I love, among many others, Henry James, Virginia Woolf, George Eliot, Silvina Ocampo, Julio Cortázar, Roberto Bolaño, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Alejandra Pizarnik, Enrique Lihn, Kamau Brathwaite, William Carlos Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Anna Ahkmatova, Li Bai, Du Fu.

Music -- cumbia (y cumbia psicadélica!), flamenco, hipster rock, old-school jazz, cueca
