I think Joyce is a bit like U2; an older queer/hipster or two might enjoy them here, but there's nothing close to the hysterical fandom they've garnered elsewhere.

And yes, I compared Joyce to Bono, you can deal with it or address the larger problem that caused it, i.e. having shit taste, though the second option will be more work.

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already
here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape
suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer
see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who
and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.

Honestamente, Paz fue un grande, pero su entreguismo al régimen me parece patético. Luego de renunciar al trabajo diplomático en protesta por los abusos, se convirtió en el bufoncillo del regimen. Además de una vaca sagrada rodeada de aduladores.

De Rulfo me enamora que haya sido un tipo modesto y alejado del mundillo intelectualoide mexicano. Escribió dos obras maestras y luego siguió su vida vendiendo neumáticos y viviendo en su granja criando cerdos. Un tipo con los pies en la tierra y definitivamente no un maricón.

Esa es, obviamente, solo mi opinión. Me revientan los huevos los intelectuales "del medio", como Monsiváis, o Paz, o ve tú a saber.

Kitzo Hekotormos, author of Quietude and Diffidence. One of the greatest writers and thinkers ever to emerge from Japan. He used to have a Wikipedia article, but it turns out he's far too obscure to meet their notability standards, so the mongoloids deleted it. An unfortunate loss, but oh well.
