I am told that Cesar Aira writes two books a year, at least, some of which are published by a little Argentinean company named Beatriz Viterbo, after the character in Borges's story "The Aleph." The books of his that I have been able to find were published by Mondadori and and Tusquets Argentina. It's frustrating, because once you've started reading Aira, you don't want to stop. His novels seem to put the theories of Gombrowicz into practic..

I went on writing reviews for the newspaper, and critical articles crying out for a different approach to culture, as even the most inattentive reader could hardly fail to notice if he scratched the surface a little, critical articles crying out, indeed begging, for a return to the Greek and Latin greats, to the Troubadours, to the dolce stil nuovo and the classics of Spain, France and England, more culture! more culture! read Whitman and P..

Dentro del inmenso oceano de la poesia distinguia varias corrientes: maricones, maricas, mariquitas, locas, bujarrones, mariposas, ninfos y filenos.

According to Padilla, remembered Amalfitano, all literature could be classified as heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. Novels, in general, were heterosexual. Poetry, on the other hand, was completely homosexual. Within the vast ocean of poetry he identified various currents: faggots, queers, sissies, freaks, butches, fairies, nymphs, and philenes.

He aqui algo sobre el honor de los poetas. Yo tenia diecisiete anos y unos deseos irrefrenables de ser escritor. Me prepare. Pero no me quede quieto mientras me preparaba, pues comprendi que si asi lo hacia no triunfaria jamas. Disciplina y un cierto encanto ductil, esas son las claves para llegar a donde uno se proponga.

Sone que Georges Perec tenia tres anos y lloraba desconsoladamente. Yo intentaba calmarlo. Lo tomaba en brazos, le compraba golosinas, libros para pintar. Luego nos ibamos al Paseo Maritimo de Nueva York y mientras el jugaba en el tobogan yo me decia a mi mismo: no sirvo para nada, pero servire para cuidarte, nadie te hara dano, nadie intentara matarte. Despues se ponia a llover y volviamos tranquilamente a casa. ?Pero donde estaba nuestra ..
