    Tracing Texts - Episode 12: Valeria Luiselli's "Faces in the Crowd"

    In Episode 12, I introduce the young Mexican author Valeria Luiselli, and Anton and I have and interesting discussion about her novel "Faces in the Crowd". As a "chilanga" residing in New York City, Luiselli's work provides a liminal space that allows us to question reality, time, and identity. Her novel is a gem that we hope will intrigue others to read it as well.

    Tracing Texts - Episode 11: Rafael Dieste’s From the Goblin’s Archives

    In this episode, Antón discusses Rafael Dieste, one of the lesser-known figures of the Spanish Generation of 1927. His relative obscurity is perhaps due to the fact that he wrote both in Galician and Spanish, though he was very active throughout his long literary career. We discuss Dos Arquivos Do Trasno (From the Goblin's Archives), one of his most renowned works, which is a collection of short stories originally published in 1926. It was totally different from what other Galician and Spanish authors were writing at the time, especially because of his use of mystery, the supernatural, and elements of the horror story. We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, we welcome comments and feedback!

    In this episode, Anton discusses Álvaro Cunqueiro, one of the most important Spanish and Galician writers of the 20th century. Anton presents Cunqueiro's use of magical realism, which makes him one of the pioneers of this narrative technique. This type of literature serves as an example of sophisticated/reconstructive literature.
