Historia
Ana quiere plantar una milpa en su traspatio, en pleno Distrito Federal. Pero en la tierra hay altos contenidos de plomo y la privada donde vive está plagada de ausencias. Su hermana murió, sus papás están de luto y sus hermanos de campamento; su única amiga se fue a buscar a quien la abandonó cuatro años atrás. Menos mal que queda Alfonso.

Relajado e intimista, muy chido
Revisado: 03-24-24
Me gustó mucho el manejo de los personajes y sus relaciones como partes de un universo más amplio, a la vez privado e inabarcable. En algunas partes pareciera que la lectura la hiciera una máquina, porque inserta pausas dónde evidentemente no corresponden. De todos modos, la voz y cadencia de los "actores" va muy bien con el texto.

Historia
Este es un libro sobre la historia de los libros. Un recorrido por la vida de ese fascinante artefacto que inventamos para que las palabras pudieran viajar en el espacio y en el tiempo. La historia de su fabricación, de todos los tipos que hemos ensayado a lo largo de casi treinta siglos: libros de humo, de piedra, de arcilla, de juncos, de seda, de piel, de árboles y, los últimos llegados, de plástico y luz.

Revisado: 05-01-22
Precioso y preciso, informadísimo relato de la invención, desarrollo, supervivencia y evolución de los libros. Con su mirada atenta y fascinada, Irene Vallejo derrocha poesía y nos inspira a vivir el mundo de los libros desde una visión amplificada. Por momentos se me hizo largo, pero vale mil veces la pena escucharlo hasta su luminoso y conmovedor final. Amé!

Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

A bit too eager

and wordy for my essentialist viewpoint. Too focused on corporate leadership for me. Not exactly what might be most helpful to me personally but well intentioned and schematic.

Historia
One of the wittiest and most scathing of Henry James' novellas, The Aspern Papers chronicles the attempt to extract the valuable letters of the famous and recently deceased poet Jeffrey Aspern from the hands of his past lover and formidable adversary in the battle Juliana Bordereau. The plot was reputedly suggested to James by a story he heard of an illicit attempt to get hold of several of Lord Byron's letters.

This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

Paused, elegant, insightful writing. Excellent reading, perfect length, interesting characters, and a modern classic. Well worth the four and a half hours. It's too bad I couldn't stop picturing Di Caprio as I listened!

Historia
German poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s (1875-1926) Letters to a Young Poet has been treasured for nearly a century. Rilke’s personal reflections on the vocation of writing and the experience of living urge an aspiring poet to look inward, while also offering sage wisdom on further issues including gender, solitude, and romantic love. Barrows and Macy’s translation extends this compilation of timeless advice and wisdom to a fresh generation of readers and listeners.

Rilke's notion of God is wonderfully original and moving. That's the pearl of this little book. I will definitely relisten!

Historia
The opening sentence of John Irving's breakout novel, The World According to Garp, signals the start of sexual violence, which becomes increasingly political. "Garp's mother, Jenny Fields, was arrested in Boston in 1942 for wounding a man in a movie theater." Jenny is an unmarried nurse; she becomes a single mom and a feminist leader, beloved but polarizing. Her son, Garp, is less beloved, but no less polarizing.

Entertaining

I didn't find this book as good as I'd been told not would be, the author seems keen on making the point that not even the most charming of characters can escape death. Very realistic, of course.
