Es el día del libro, y desde Ferragosto un par de recomendaciones: la antología de crónica Mejor que ficción, publicada por @Almadia_Edit, y la inolvidable novela The Last Samurai, de Helen de Witt. ¡Lean, disfruten de los libros, regálenlos, recomiéndenlos aun cuando nadie parezca estar escuchando!

Ha muerto la poeta Julia Wong, de quien hasta ayer me gustaba decir que era mi poeta viva favorita. Habíamos hablado de publicar una colección de su poesía completa, y llevaba tiempo enviándome los libros que había ido publicando en pequeñas editoriales, sin más acuerdos que la buena voluntad. Me gustaría completar en algún momento ese sueño de tener la obra poética de Julia publicada, y siempre disponible, para reivindicar la obra de una poeta única, intensa, luminosa y divertida siempre incluso bajo el dolor de una vida verdaderamente difícil. Dejo aquí unos versos de su poema Jeden tag erfinde ich tausend worte (Poema escrito en pésimo alemán), de su libro La tercera guerra lunar, publicado por @Liliputienses1: "Me inunda, la vida y la muerte, el caminar por la misma línea, sin caer. Y pensar que puedo morir mañana, que esta suerte de estar lejos de una guerra es ilusoria, que explotarán las bazucas al lado. Porque todos escondemos un dueño y un amo dispuesto a despedazar al vecino".

minted Serves You Right by @Grandenchilada a novel approach to NFT novels w/ cover art by @Moxarra released w/ @EFerragosto, which looks quite interesting as well as an approach to publishing

You know when you see the good stuff. You don't need a social signal, a record-breaking sale, a gimmicky distribution format, gamification, giant marketing campaigns, a road map, a hyped-up auction, a celebrity endorsement, a dance party, or anything else. It just hits you.🫀

Always nice to get a rave review! 🙏♥️🙏

Speaking of food, (in this case, Spanish food but you can substitute your favorite cuisine in the whole wide world), here’s this exchange between @dejhati and moi:

My NFT novel Serves You Right wouldn't be here if not for @the_platf0rm, which created the smart contract for Quién te manda and hosted it in 2022. My endless thanks to @blackboxdotart & @sriveralopez for coding and making it happen, & to The Platform team for their unwavering support: @MelG101010 @oculardelusion @lovevolv @adambromberg @batuhankeskiner @ishmaelk & Lena Holzer. 🙏❤️🙏

Lucía and Gabriel, the protagonists of Serves You Right, make out for the first time on a classic Mexican park bench like this one at the Parque Hundido, the Sunken Park.

🔖I'm starting to hear back from readers who have finished the novel. Here's one: "I just finished reading Serves You Right. It was a delightful, entertaining, and of course, super unsettling read." Let's get a quorum and do a virtual book club!⬇️

Call it indolence on my part, but finally minted a copy of @Grandenchilada's marvelous NFT novel "Serves You Right" To paraphrase @Artnome: "Buy art you love From artists you want to see succeed For prices you can afford" Honored to steward this inspiring work
