few things I've learned

said the other day to a questionnaire sent to me by Peter Domene critic and writer for the magazine Cuadernos del Sur . The first question was, more or less, how I learned in these years I've been writing. Long replied, laconically, as literary and personal. Interview hang here when published, but now that I'm finishing a new novel, and that ten years ago, right around this time, was rolled up to the elbows writing The key Pinner, it is true that I asked myself more than one time if I learned anything during this time. The fact is that sometimes when they contact me writers who have published or are about to do and ask me for advice to tackle a novel, publish, whether it is worthwhile contests. Things like that. Some people want to know my views on these matters never will only produce confusion. Maybe it is that I'm getting old ... But I guess it is worth putting here what I think about a few things that have to do with the work of writer, more or less.

goes without saying that not advice. Those who know me know I am not given to giving. Think aloud. Simply. Nobody is forced to read them. Some things I knew or guessed when I started writing. I have been discovering other gradually.

The first thing you should know, I think, and perhaps the main thing is that writing is not important. I mean that in life there are things more important. Not just to believe those writers who claim to write for them is everything, it's the best thing to do in life. Sometimes it is the readers who you say it, believe you are praising. To remove iron to the question I always say, and readers of this blog know that one of the things I like about this job is that you can work barefoot. Writing is fine, of course, if your vocation, and even then sometimes you end a page becomes a torture, but I do not think a trade is more important than the street sweeper electrician or plumber. And I really mean it. But, for better or for worse, the writer is a very prestigious profession socially. Y a mí eso siempre me inquieta un poco. Sé que al entrar en este blog (y supongo que quienes suelen visitarlo son mis lectores) a algunos les puede parecer lo contrario, pero, si soy sincero, que cuando te encuentras con tus amigos tarde o temprano tu trabajo acabe siendo el centro de la conversación me desagrada bastante. Y con quienes no son tus amigos, también. Son momentos incómodos. Si no hablas de tu trabajo puedes parecer antipático o distante y, si lo haces, porque es lo que se espera de ti o porque la conversación se dirige hacia esos asuntos aunque no quieras, es difícil no quedar como un engreído o un idiota.

En fin. Puede que escribir sea importante. Pero no hay que darle importancia.

Another issue inherent to the profession of writer is the uncertainty. Uncertainty about the past, present and future. You're never sure if what you have written or published actually worth or could have done better if, instead of publishing it in this editorial that instead of or filed with the award in that other place would have been more or fewer readers. When you're working on a novel is impossible to know if anyone would like, first to a publisher, then to the readers. So I think it's best to never think about it, do not let your condition or that you direct. Do what you think fit because, after all, one of the best things about this work is that while you're writing, you are solely responsible for what happens in the pages of your book. Not bad to listen to others, but not much. You know that the opinions are like assholes. Each has his ... I usually leave the original in my books a few very trusted people to give me his opinion. But I never do, if ever, until I finished the story as I thought I should finish it. I will always be indebted to those who read my manuscript, because one of the most tedious things I can think of is having to read the draft of another writer. And I admire and sympathize with the editors about it. Oh and one more thing on this question: if possible, it is better never to ask the opinion of a writer or a critic of what you have written. The authors, as a rule, we have the twisted tusk and we are too conditioned by our own writing. The best will always be an average reader, to tell you if he liked, if it has gone well or is tired or has not even been able to pass on the third page. That will always be better than giving your book to any bitter with the desk drawer full of unpublished novels because the publishing market, so unfair to them and so generous to those who publish without deserving it, ignore them. Someone like that can only make you yawn with a roll of subordinate clauses or the desirability of a dozen far-fetched adjectives in each sentence.

I think I have been many things to write. But today is fine. The best will be a second installment on this issue. We'll see.

The last Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, the samba school União da Ilha paid tribute to Charles Darwin. The escola recalled his work on the origin of species and included a float with a giant turtle which explained the importance of the Odyssey Galapagos naturalist.

A country so rich in contradictions, landscapes and colors, like all South American countries.

Twenty years is nothing

Last week my nephew turned twenty, and when I look back I have no choice to admit that for me is as if no time had passed. It happens with almost anything. I look back and I remember things nearly four decades ago, and it's weird because I still think that even I have the same age when my nephew was born, about the same as it is now, the day he took his grandmother My mother, to the hospital because her mother, my sister had gone into labor. It seems like yesterday when he was born, but my nephew is now a guitar virtuoso, has an earring, and reluctantly asked me permission to smoke when I'm ahead, out of respect or custom. How strange it all is, I said the other day, my nephew, because for me it is as if no time had passed, and sometimes I have to pinch to remind me that I'm not a kid, that I'll never be. And I'm not sure I learned many things or what they call having reached maturity, which is supposed to have, or should have, and adults. Perhaps the passage of time all it means is that every time we have more responsibilities, life is complicated but do not want, because you have to take over. Or maybe a birthday desprendiéndote go is also what you do not care or bother you, remove the accessory, focus only on a few things that give you pleasure and avoid, as far as possible the things you do not like and people that makes you uncomfortable.

But when they get older to coming back one ends up being aware of the passage of time, implacable. Twenty years is nothing, said the tango, I think to close the gap between two people who love were born two decades apart. I also believe that twenty years is nothing, but not for the same reason the tango, but because life passes away without realizing it, and a sufficient Flashes for another twenty years pass and my nephew has the same age that I have now.

What Is A General Deed Without Warranty

Galapagos Altamira and Lascaux: the cave paintings of the School Francocantábrica

Fabricia Luque

In the first art history class met a Paleolithic art form that I loved: rock painting in caves, especially those of Altamira in Spain, and Lascaux in France, known as the School Francocantábrica. Nobody is indifferent to the scenes depicting bulls, horses, cows ... with this high level of realism. It moves me to look at those paintings of about 14,000 BC (Altamira) and 17,000 BC (Lascaux), - according to the analysis of organic material with carbon 14 - and finding a man's ability, even before the invention of writing, of expressing so sensitive and lovely.

Altamira

At that time, men used to build communities of small groups that lived by hunting, fishing, collection of fruits, roots ..., - so are called hunter-gatherers - and they used the caves for shelter from the weather.

The paintings are related to magical beliefs whose goal was to get a rich hunting and protection. Were made with mineral pigments ocher, brown, yellow and red, mixed with binders such as animal fat, while the black contour lines of the figures was done with charcoal. In addition, natural relief of the rock and sometimes the inner model to give a volume effect and mobility. In fact, the highlight of the cave and scraping of certain areas provide a highly mobile images and expressiveness. The rock art could be images of religious significance, fertility rites, ceremonies to promote hunting.

Lascaux

The Lascaux cave was discovered accidentally by four teenagers in 1940, to find his dog had escaped. Discovered the beauty of his paintings, visitors arrived, which caused damage to the cave under product excess carbon dioxide from your breath. So decreed the closure of the cave in 1963, reopening its doors in 1980 after de la implantación de un sistema de preservación que monitorea la cueva permanentemente para garantizar la manutención de las condiciones de preservación de las obras. Si te interesa saber más, visita el sitio oficial de Lascaux .

 La cueva de Altamira la descubrió Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola y su hija en 1879. Recibió visitas a partir de 1970, sin embargo está cerrada desde 2002 a causa de la necesidad de preservar su integridad. Hoy en día se puede visitar el Museo de Altamira , donde hay una réplica de la cueva.

Modular Combat Shotgun

Discipline

Recently many had commented the first sequences of Clint Eastwood's latest film, Beyond life, the poignant and realistic recreation of the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004 but reality always surprises, more frightening when one realizes that what seemed like fiction into reality is nothing but a tangible possibility, even a premonition. We are still stunned but perhaps saturated with images of the tsunami in Japan, and now it speculate on the radiation and aftershocks, but after seeing so many photographs and lurid images that I'd like had taken any of those apocalyptic movies rarely stand, what I call the attention on the news is not out simply because it is not happening: no riots in Japan despite the courage and suffering justify even the most calm nerves lose or at least raise his voice. To my knowledge, there has been no attempt of looting while many people have left their homes for fear of the ocean that runs inland destroying everything in its path. I see queues of people as they distribute food, and I admire her silence, her integrity, and above all discipline. For anyone who has felt curiosity or admiration for many years by Japanese culture this attitude is not new, but now see discipline seamless the Japanese after the tragedy leaves you speechless. No one doubts that these people will come forward even more tsunamis. Just see to queue while waiting for food distributed to them to know they are invincible.

past few years it is fashionable to travel to China. I still I have not decided. I'm a bit lazy. But I've always been attracted more to know Japan, but I stayed a little further.

Every time I have more desire.

Produced with etching, aquatint, drypoint and burin, work fiercely criticize the value system of society of the time, based on the inaction of the customs and tyrannical oppression of the Church. A satire of English society of the late eighteenth century, mainly from the nobility and clergy.

The exhibition includes manuscripts of Goya comments clarifying the succinct title registered at the bottom of each print.

A remarkable narrative exercise

That's what it says Luis Garcia on See Mauthausen Fiddler on the web The imaginary library. Take this opportunity to thank you for your kind words and post a review on my blog.

Apart from the cover of the book, the pictures that illustrate the text correspond to my last visit to the extermination camp in November 2009. In a couple of them is the famous staircase of death. Readers of the novel will recognize immediately.

"Andrés Pérez Domínguez is a well-known author among those who presented and won literary competitions, so it's not so strange that conquer the Ateneo novel XII Award Seville also taking over the Andalusian Félix J. Palma.

this is not the typical novel about World War II, although the backdrop of war Fundament and what happens in the plot . Nor is the classical music novel about the camps although one of its characters is five years in Mauthausen determines what happens. Not even is the long history of Nazi view

because the alleged Nazi protagonist is not. In short, once broken the topics, Mauthausen Fiddler is a remarkable exercise in literary narrative which main characters are very well designed not only credible, but near each of the events that take place in their lives bewildered.

The story is built on the basis of an interaction n four main characters. First Instead Ruben Castro, a political refugee from the war in Spain in Paris and partner Anna Cavour, a professor of German descent half French and half German. They have to add two more, Robert Bishop, American OSS spy and Fr anz Müller, German and something more. The plot moves back and forth for the lives of four characters from Paris to Berlin from Salzburg to Mauthausen and misfortunes of three of them, Franz, but especially Anna and Reuben, are endless.

Andrés Pérez Dominguez, who had already had occasion to read The key Pinner, trace a story somewhere between a love story, a story of spies, a war story, a tragic story ... will jump from generation to generation by turning them all pro d and an argument that leads from one side to another, from one place to another, from one character to another. It is masterful the d omini of the narrative of the author and sets off on a novel with a very well laid scheme, and broken in several pieces to be assembled in an order that may seem random but it is not. objection may only have a certain drop tension in the third quarter of the same to return with a thrilling final that will reveal it is drawing zigzags to amaze.

Perhaps the character that touches our heart is Ruben, being taken to a concentration camp. Advise the careful reading of the chapter on the hardships that happens in a train car, gives the impression that the author has traveled in one of those freight cars for cattle so accurately describe what goes through the minds of those who are led to disaster. At the end of the story also surprises me 'attitude Rubén when, after being released from the field (I will not find much more) reasoning follows as shown on page 449: I should be dead.

Not long ago I had occasion to review another book that speaks most directly to what happened in concentration camps, in this case Auschwitz. This is absolute evil José Luis Muñoz. There is much more focused on the torture and atrocities that were committed. There is, however, what happens in Mauthausen Fiddler even commented on the sentence from page 449 because it matches the Yehuda attitude Weiss, victims of the concentration camps in the story told by José Luis Muñoz.

For those who may be interested last year appeared an illustrated edition of Fiddler Mauthausen where you can follow the story with photographic accuracy.

I will not add anything more about this narrative that the author confesses that he created from an image captured in a subway station Vienna. A couple of dancers who danced without music in their platform. Indeed, the reader discovers why the title of the novel since it is one reason that binds its characters and the plot is closed. "

How Much Sand In A Railcar

crisis overabundance of anger

I do not know about you, but to me every time I less interested in politics. It's not that important. It is, very much. To be honest, which I am increasingly less interested are the politicians. Years ago, a commanding said that Spain was going well, and others, who do not mandaban, enseguida lo contradecían porque no estaban de acuerdo. Hasta hace no mucho, el que ahora manda hacía como si la palabra crisis, con sus seis letras, no existiera en los diccionarios, y ahora aunque se muestra tan convencido de su capacidad para sacar las cosas adelante, da la sensación de que ni siquiera los que están más cerca de él se atreven a afirmar con la misma rotundidad sus argumentos. Mientras tanto los otros, los que antes mandaban, en lugar de dar soluciones parece que prefieran frotarse las manos mientras esperan a que les llegue el turno, como el equipo de fútbol que sabe que para ganar la eliminatoria le basta con aguantar el balón hasta que el árbitro pite el final del partido. And between them, between those who govern now and then and did not send before and now sent sent, the street people, like you, like myself, sitting in the stands waiting for the match, boring and goalless once finished.

The thing is very bad, and I get the feeling that still has to get worse. I think it's the green shoots or any date in which some bright bold venture to predict as the end of the crisis. And maybe this is not even the crisis, but rather that most are afraid to admit: this might be the reality, normal, though it costs us to accept it, and everything we have experienced so far has been more than a mirage. It's so sad to see how to accept. Travelling in Spain and in the best locations for any city to find the facades of local buildings and decorated with huge posters announcing assignments, sales offers or emergencies such as the ruins of a glorious past that never seems to be the same again.

When I'm writing I usually read novels that have nothing to do with my work, to distance, because I oxygenates. I do not know. I am these days with Steinbeck and The Grapes of Wrath . How curious and wonder what makes me read a novel written over seventy years ago by an American writer, happens in a place so far from my country, and that each page makes me think that the story of Tom Joad and his family, all families that the Great Depression pushed from the fields of Oklahoma to the false dream California dreams tend to be false or are illusions when you're desperate, "is so similar to many people now.
