I've started reading Marie N'Diaye's latest book Mon coeur à l'étroit (My confined heart). I had never read any of her books before and I find her writing highly enjoyable.
She also writes for the stage and her dialogues are brilliant. The rhythm is excellent and the topic more than interesting :
A couple of teachers suddenly feel that everybody in their town hates them. They don't see the reason to it but fear asking and start feeling guilty. The husband gets stabbed. He doesn't complain. His daughters prevent him from going to the hospital, saying that it would be worse for him...
I suppose some of her other works have been translated to English, if some of you fancy reading foreign litterature. She's really good and still alive.

A great, almost forgotten British author (very Kafkaesque). None of his books are currently in print.

I'm reading "A Plato Reader" (with difficulty due to concentration). It's a '60s edition of what I think is all his dialogues, and commentary.

there's a ton of cheap and/or used book stores here but i was looking for stuff in english, in the rare occasion they would stock a book i'd like to have and in english (book translations are beyond horrible), they would charge it for so much you wouldn't know.

en ingles:

no hay demasiados pero hay algo.

btw the mexican translation of "loving pedro infante" is 10000000 times better than the original gringo language.

amazon "marketplace" has used books too. but not always as reliable as the store itself.

hahaha, amazon marketplace, eh? i'm still waiting for my goo deluxe i ordered there back in sept '05.

just searched for fear and loathing... and maldoror and they don't have it, unsurprisingly.

and i can tell you why you liked that version more, a) you are talking about the most beloved figure in modern mexican culture and b) it was translated in mexico, chances are most books are translated, at best, in argentina or spain and even then, when they translate a book, they used their own take on spanish, with slang words and aproximate meanings, trying to avoid all english or foreign words, whether mexican spanish, mostly is used in a more coloquial and cuasual way. and i say "at best" because most of the time they are translated in florida by people who barely speak any language.

yeah, loving pedro infante was written by a new mexican chicana en ingles; the book sucks, but the slang in the spanish translation is so fucking dementedly funny it cracks me up every line.

about maldoror, man, it's in french, written by a uruguayan, fuck gringo translations, at least french and spanish share the framework of latin.

busca esto: Los cantos de Maldoror. Editorial Labor. Traducción de Julio Gómez de la Serna, completada por Manuel Serrat y Henriette Vigulé, prólogo de Ramón Gómez de la Serna. ISBN 84-335-0264-6

fear & loathing you'll have to order the original. "muerte y odio en las vegas"??? ja ja ja ja. bueno al menos "las vegas" se traduce perfecto.

ok. so. enjoy. just get amazon or b/n. if you become a member with b/n ($35, i think cheaper now) you get discounts plus promotions. works very well if you buy lots of stuff.

that's what i'm saying, low cultural speak (slang, curse words, albures, etc) are very much part of the high intellectual strata here (although they way they handle it is very pretentious and snobby), so yeah...

you wish it was miedo y odio en las vegas: http://www.gandhi.com.mx/Gandhi/Libr...?prodId=136343

i'd probably check out maldoror in spanish...chances are i can get the french version here, i live like a block away from the french cultural consulate and they show movies and shit, they probably have a bookstore...now, to learn french!!!

just checked out amazon, you are right, prices are fairly decent there.

if you can't find it in french in mexiquito you can order via amazon they order from france-- they got me some good baudelaire shit that way.

the other thing, since you mention los franchutes, back when i lived in sudakaland i would go to the library of the british cultural institute, it was fucking awesome, they had a copy of finnegan's wake and of course i couldn't understand for shit. but i did stare in awe, like a peasant (like the guy from trachimbrod in everything is illuminated, what was his name).

copy & paste to your favorite word processing software, print on nice paper...

http://www.maldoror.org/chants/chant1.txt

replace #1 for 2 to 5 and you got it
the links from the main site actually don't work (i had to sniff around a bit to find the lost files) and there you have it.
