Cuál es su opinión más cancelable sobre literatura latinoamericana? Empiezo yo: La Rayuela es una porquería infame.

I think that every springtime from here on out I'll think about this fruit-laden, boned velvet bodice with silk embroidery, probably made in Italy around 1680, which was in Cora Ginsburg's 2001 catalogue. It may be my favourite extant piece of clothing from the late 17th century
