    Thanks for the recommendation on "The Heidi Chronicles". I'll look the book up on the net. :)

    albert, Sie sind the first shelfarian to I.D. Maya-Tanzen. Das war for ein Jahrzehnt. Das Sie Graham Greene emphelen ist sehr passend. (Es tut mir leid aber meine Deutsch ist sehr schlect.) I corresponded with Mr. Greene for about three years some time ago. Treasures of insight and depth. I shall re-read "The Quiet American" with new eyes. I'm excited to learn of Ho Xuan Huong. I only found "The Jackfruit" online. So I shall look for the English translated book. No doubt it hums in Vietnamese. Alas! I wonder if you have read "Dictee" by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, the Korean who was murdered in NYC. BTW I am a poet and love any poetic recommendations! If your avatar is in fact you, I'll guess you to be artist/writer/architect/teacher. Oh, yes, Santa Fe. 100 miles from me. And have you read "Death Comes to the Archbishop?" As poitgnant a descriptions of the southwest and mentalities that still have some hold. Vielen Dank! Spater. n

    Hi Albert,

    sorry that I haven't replied to your numerous postings on my Shelfari and myspace websites. :) I was busy on the weekend doing NOTHING but spending time with my boyfriend, family and friends. There are times when I don't need to be online. ;-)
    Thanks for being my friend!

    Well, hi there, Mr KimHa Albert (is Kim-Ha an addition connected to your fondness for Eastern literature??) You seem to have touched upon many different points. I'll do my best to give you feedback on all of them.
    My choice of 'flat' over 'apartment' is connected to my contact (during my teenage years) with books and cassettes of (the so-called) British English. It's kind of 'fixed' within me, so there's nothing I can do about it :-) 'Department' sounds familiar, as in Argentina we also have provinces divided into 'departments', like the 'counties' in the USA.
    Thanx for your compliment concerning my shelf, but be sure that the owned-read book rate is about 60% to 40%. I haven't read all of them, as before coming to my 'flat/apartment' I used to have much more space and became sort of a compulsive buyer of books.
    About La Plata and Darwin. What can I say about this city? I was born in another city and came here to study at uni. The university is in the downtown, so you can get a picture of the traffic congestions that occur at rush hour. But because of university life this city is alive. You can go to the theatre, to different pubs, to poetry readings, to whatever-kind-of-music-you-like concerts (spanning from tango to hip hop to folklore to punk). If you go a few block away from the center you can enjoy trees and wider spaces. That doesn't mean we don't have those ingredients of postmodern Western life you mention (crime, gangs, drugs, corruption everywhere, craziness, poverty) but if you think too much about that you either become a CHE or an insensitive lunatic. I try to find a happy medium (though you now know which way I tend to slant). Darwin didn't visit the city, mainly because it didn't exist at the time good ol' Charly dug some skeletons up from our south (he did visit Buenos Aires, though). La Plata was founded some 50 years later. What may have reached your ears is that the La Plata Museum of Natural History has in its collection some of those things.
    Enough said, I think. Hope to have quenched your thirst for Southamerican flavour.
