Gracias por your "like" on my quick review of The House of Broken Angels. I wish I had "found" you when I was an Advanced Placement English Literature teacher at the American School Foundation in Guadalajara as a quick review of books shows your work would have been useful. [Here is my required "?" in order to post this message.]

Thanks, Suzanne, and thanks for writing that and any other review I read!

Hi David, would you consider reading a newly-translated collection of short stories by Brazilian writer Lula Falcão? This is the link to the kindle version: https://www.amazon.com/Vultures-Living-Room-Lula-Falc%C3%A3o-ebook/dp/B08WPL35FZ He is known as a "Ionesco of the Tropics", absurdist and discretely political. I would be so grateful. He is on Bolsonaro's most wanted list as "dangerous intellectuals."

Thank you, David. I feel Cormac McCarthy is currently the greatest writer alive (though Tom Wolfe is quite good). I find a lot of the post-modern authors works exhaustive, talent-less, and boring. Regurgitating cliches. I think the sincere works with little to no irony is refreshing that Cormac delivers. Any other authors you suggest?
