			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hace poco me mudé a Miami Beach.</p>
<p>Esta fue de las mejores decisiones que he tomado en mi vida, ya que este lugar me hizo re-evaluar el amor que le tengo al estado donde he vivido por los pasados 10 años. Florida.</p>
<p>El mar, la brisa y la arena, son algunos de los elementos que me encuentro todos los dias. Además los atardeceres mas hermosos.</p>
<p>También es cierto que somos invasores en esta área. Los Everglades están a nuestro alrededor y es inevitable escapar de ellos.</p>
<p>Desde que vivo en La Playa, vivo enamorada de los escritores de la Florida. <a href="http://www.carlhiaasen.com/index.shtml">Carl Hiassen</a> es mi nuevo héroe local.</p>
<p>Me encantan sus personajes, como Honey Santana, La protagonista de &#8220;Nature Girl&#8221;, quien es una desquiciada madre soltera que convence a un telemarketer de Texas a ir a Everglades City par un EcoTour para vengarse de interrumpir su cena.</p>
<p>O Joey Perrone, la protagonista de &#8220;Skinny Dip&#8221; quien sobrevive un intento torpe de asesinato de su marido, Chaz Perrone, para volver a tierra y vengarse de el.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Al final de ¨Inés del Alma Mía¨ de Isabel Allende, me quedé pensando en el daño que la conquista de América causo en la historia del continente.</p>
<p>Allende describe en detalle como Pedro de Valdivia murió a manos de Lautaro, el destacado líder militar de los Mapuches. Los detalles son aterradores. Según Allende, Lautaro le hizo tragar oro derretido a Valdivia, en venganza por el sufrimiento que el metal hizo pasar a su pueblo. Allende escribe que en parte estos hechos de violencia estaban justificados. O al menos, los Mapuche tenían una venganza en mente por los tormentos que los Españoles les hicieron pasar.</p>
<p>Según los describe Allende, los Españoles les cortaban las narices, los brazos y la punta de los pies. Pero los Mapuche no se rendían, seguían peleando por su tierra, cojos y mancos. En la novela, Inés Suárez, la narradora de la historia, comenta que ella hubiese hecho lo mismo hasta el final. Prefería morir peleando por su tierra, que vivir bajo el mando de los invasores.</p>
<p>Décadas después, los Mapuche siguen teniendo una presencia en Chile, pero no lograron sacar a los huincas de su región como Lautaro se lo propuso.</p>
<p>Los invasores de América entraron y salieron con violencia en un ciclo que duró décadas. Las cicatrices de estos estragos siguen vivas en nuestro continente.</p>
<p>Hace falta que todos los americanos sanemos. Esta tierra fue fundada a punta de sangre.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Arizona, I would be mandated by law to carry my Green Card at all times.</p>
<p>Me.</p>
<p>A college graduate, who speaks fluent English, has a job, pays taxes and has been living in the United State for 10 years.</p>
<p>I first heard the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126126319&amp;ps=cprs">news on NPR:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>under the law everyone must have I.D. proving resident status or  citizenship. Officers can use race as a factor in determining whether to  question someone, though it can&#8217;t be the only factor. Another section  of the law deals with day labor. Illegal immigrants can now be arrested  for soliciting work.</p></blockquote>
<p>I understand that the situation in the border is becoming unbearable, but it doesn&#8217;t justify this man hunt. It is absurd.</p>
<p>What is next?</p>
<p>Do I have to tan less to look less Hispanic?</p>
<p>Speak English to my Hispanic friends?</p>
<p>I am really disappointed by the lack of action of the current administration. And the silly political calendar that makes it impossible for senators and law makers to make any decision prior to elections.</p>
<p>I know that the border is not a safe place. Especially after reading 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. But still, this is not a justification because the United States has the resources to fight these problems, targeting them from their source. It is really a matter of strengthening the relationships with Mexico and fighting narco-terrorism together. Targeting Hispanics living in the United States is not the solution.</p>
<p>If only the government could see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started reading &#8220;2666&#8243; by Roberto Bolaños about seven months ago.</p>
<p>I still have 119 pages to go.</p>
<p>To my defense, the book is 1,119 pages long and it is really five books compiled into one. But this doesn&#8217;t mean that this never-ending story is boring; to the contrary, I am delighted by all the different themes tied together without circularity and the wonderful characters that are introduced even at the very end.</p>
<p>I am taking my time because I want to digest this magnetic book. I want to understand each one of the crimes in Santa Teresa, the dementia of Ingeborg and the doppelganger of Hans Reiter&#8211; Benno Von Archimboldi.</p>
<p>I want to hold on my search as to whether or not Archimboldi is based on a real character. When I am done with the book I will find out because right now, I want to believe that Bolaño  investigated a real character and made him come back to life through this book.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La prensa Estado Unidense parece estar completamente enamorada con las historias de narcotráfico.</p>
<p>¿Cuando se escucha algo de los femicidios en Ciudad Juárez?</p>
<p>Aún cuando este crimen atroz sucede debajo de las narices de Estados Unidos (literalmente, porque es a una corta distancia de la frontera), a los Estado Unidenses parece interesarles más construir muros para que los <a title="Muro" href="http://www.derechoshumanos.org.mx/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=631">mexicanos no se pasen la frontera</a>, intensificar las redadas de inmigración e informarles a los gringos de la travesía que pasan las drogas que se consumen antes de llegar a Estados Unidos.</p>
<p>Según el articulo de prensa mexicana publicado en <a title="Mujeres Asesinadas" href="http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2009/10/28/index.php?section=sociedad&amp;article=041n4soc">La Jornada el 28 de Octubre del 2009</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>De 1993 a 2007 se documentaron 468 casos. La cifra más alta de muertes violentas de mujeres en ese periodo ocurrió en 2002, cuando hubo 42 muertas. Pero en los últimos dos años la cifra aumentó a 675. Casi 350 casos de años anteriores siguen impunes, entre ellos los 96 de 2008 y los registrados en 2009.</p></blockquote>
<p>Estos asesinatos están documentados en un libro que les recomiendo a todos.</p>
<p>&#8220;2666&#8243; de Roberto Bolaños.</p>
<p>Este libro es una Biblia. Te lo tienes que saborear. Son cuatro libros en uno y hay que leerlo con mucho detenimiento para no perderte los detalles, a veces grotescos, que incluye Bolaños.</p>
<p>Voy en la parte de los crímenes. A la que ansiaba llegar. Les contaré que pasa cuando acabe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the spirit that I just got into, I am going to tell everyone a little bit about the system that just trapped me.</p>
<p>I miss college.</p>
<p>I miss it more than what I missed Colombia when I moved to the United States.</p>
<p>I miss it more than what I miss eating luscious fruits every day with exotic names that stick to your tongue.</p>
<p>I miss it more than what I miss my father.</p>
<p>It is impossible to convey the feeling that just grabbed me. I miss college.</p>
<p>Maybe it was the freedom I felt this weekend in Gainesville, the town where my <a title="University of Florida" href="http://www.ufl.edu/">Alma Mater</a> is located.</p>
<p>The freedom of not feeling guilty while enjoying an afternoon of leisure in the balcony, staring out&#8230; Thinking, making plans.</p>
<p>The freedom to drink and not worrying about my mother.</p>
<p>The freedom to sleep in the same bed with my boyfriend.</p>
<p>The freedom to take my car and just drive&#8230;</p>
<p>The freedom to stare vacantly into the crowd of a <a href="http://www.thefestfl.com/fest8/">punk/rock show</a>.</p>
<p>Well, now that I am back to reality and the lack of time to make plans, I feel more trapped than ever and had a spark of creativity. Here is my outburst!</p>
<p>Corporate America sucks.</p>
<p>It promises high-paying jobs for those who go to college. Jobs that will award you the freedom to travel once a year to an exotic destination, move to a trendy loft, go out to drink cosmopolitans with your friends and do whatever you want. Because you did the right thing. You went to college. You graduated cum laude from a great school.</p>
<p>It is a lie. And I am living it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sabiamente, Henry James siempre les advertía a los escritores que no debían poner a un loco como personaje central de una narración, sobre la base de que al no ser loco moralmente responsable, no habría verdadera historia que contar.&#8221; Gore Vidal&#8211; De Delirio por Laura Restrepo.</p></blockquote>
<p>Es curioso que Laura Restrepo escoja esta cita para abrir un libro acerca de un personaje que ha perdido la cabeza.</p>
<p>¿Será que lo que quiere decir es que Agustina, su personaje principal, está pretendiendo estar loca?</p>
<p>Pués yo pienso que la locura es un estado muy comodo para los seres humanos. No solo las personas que están deprimidas o locas se escapan de sus responsabilidades, si no que también tienen toda la atención que sus personalidades demandantes exige.</p>
<p>En el caso de Agustina, este estado le permite mantenerse al margen de las estrictas reglas de la sociedad Bogotana y encerrarse en su propio mundo a explorar los miedos que una niñez traumática le trajo.</p>
<p>En verdad, no la culpo.</p>
<p>Como si no fuera suficiente seguir con las absurdas reglas de la sociedad Bogotana, a la pobre Agustina le tocó tener un padre abusivo y ver como el maltrataba a su hermanito.</p>
<p>Para mi que Agustina tiene todo el derecho a refugiarse en si misma y escaparse en un manto de locura.</p>
<p>La loca de la casa, como dice mi madre que es terapeuta, me persigue siempre. Yo siempre le digo a mi madre que las personas con depresión o locura son gente rica. Al menos Agustina lo es. Después de todo la gente sin dinero tiene que trabajar y no tiene tiempo de pensar en sus traumas o de explorar el pasado.</p>
<p>Por eso digo que una enfermedad como la <a title="Demencia" href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/spanish/ency/article/000739.htm">demencia</a> es muy comoda.</p>
<p>Del vinculo que pongo, quiero que noten los síntomas.</p>
<p>Estos tres llamaron mi atención:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>sólo preocupado por sí mismo (egocentrismo)</li>
<li>control deficiente del temperamento</li>
<li>incapacidad para desenvolverse o interactuar en situaciones personales o sociales</li>
<li>incapacidad para conservar el empleo</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tasted Gabriela, the sweet and salty snacks, the progress of Ilhéus, the bitter flavor of machines coming and the <em>cachaça</em>.</p>
<p>I sensed the smell of clove. The cocoa beans falling out and releasing sweet fragrances.</p>
<p>I saw Gloria sitting on her window, longing for passion and a man willing to defy the most powerful man in town just for a night in her bed. I saw Mundinho Falcao arriving with progress to Ilhéus.  I saw Gabriela hips dancing as she walked and her beautiful cinnamon-colored skin and the red rose she left on Nacib&#8217;s bar at lunchtime.</p>
<p>&#8220;Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon&#8221; by Jorge Amado was a feast for my senses.</p>
<p>Even as I keep my fingers holding the last pages of the book to use the Brazilian-terms glossary, going back and forth to understand the food, the drinks and the people of the interior of Brazil, I am enchanted by the colors distilling from this novel. They truly project inside of me with ochre tones, a wide array of yellows, oranges and greens that take me back to another time&#8211; a land stained by<a title="Jagunços" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagun%C3%A7o"> jagunços</a> were love can truly flourish.</p>
<p>Nacib and Gabriela make me a believer. There is nothing better to make you feel just plain, good inside as a love story. And even more when the characters are from different social levels and manage to put that aside and let loose a passion that is marked and stained by the events brought by progress in Ilhéus.</p>
<p>I am really longing to feel the weight of someone&#8217;s leg on my tights while I sleep. Having someone call me &#8220;Bié.&#8221;</p>
<p>My blog is all about spreading some insight about great books. &#8220;Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon&#8221; by Jorge Amado is by far one of the greatest love stories I have ever lived. I am sure I will be writing more about this book soon after I am done with the last chapter. I got a little ahead of myself, but my fingers could literally not wait any longer to broadcast the feel-good sense of satisfaction this book brought to my life.</p>
<p>Thanks Andie.</p>

That feeling of belonging to a literary group and hearing what each member has to say, makes me feel almost the same was I felt in relation to Maga&#8217;s relationship with Oliveira in &#8220;Hopscotch.&#8221;</p>
<p>What I am enjoying the most out of Bolaño&#8217;s book is the use of different perspectives to tell a story. It is as if the reader is living it too. I feel like a journalist, interviewing everyone at the scene of a crime. I get to hear what everyone has to say. I am deeply intrigued to know more about Cesárea Tinarejo and why she is omnipresent in the book.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Estaba parado en medio de las enfermeras de un hospital.</p>
<p>Ellas, fascinadas, lo llamaban novio mientras el hacia su entrada triunfal por los pasillos, mirándolas sonrojado con su semblante en alto y una actitud de príncipe Persa.</p>
<p>El, muy coqueto, batía sus largas pestañas negras, mientras escondía y revelaba la luz de sus grandes ojos cafés. Realmente pensaba que ellas estaban enamoradas de él y que su amor infantil era correspondido por estás mujeres de caderas grandes y exageradas por sus ceñidos uniformes.</p>
<p>Un harén de hermosas mujeres que no tenían ojos para ningún otro hombre. Ese era su inocente sueño.</p>
<p>Su madre lo llevaba del pequeño al hospital para revisiones de rutina, siempre tuvo buena salud y fue un niño feliz, rodeado de todo lo que le daba su mamá.</p>
<p>Era la luz de sus ojos, su niño especial.</p>
<p>Su carita pequeña miraba el sol de medio día a la salida del hospital. No tenía idea de que las enfermeras muy seguramente ya tenían otro novio, mas pequeño, pero jamás tan encantador como el.</p>
<p>Todavía sus oscuras pupilas vagan en el rincón derecho de sus ojos, mientras recuerda la escena en el hospital. El niño esta atrapado en ese cuerpo de adulto, buscando la oportunidad de escapar por sus propios poros al recordar estos episodios fugaces; sus primeros amores con las enfermeras.</p>
<p>Su sonrisa todavía tiene el mismo encanto que enamoró a las enfermeras, su carita todavía tiene rasgos infantiles. Mientras recuerda, sus ojos se iluminan, recordando su infancia en su pequeño país. El lugar donde el es el rey Persa en un hospital, donde el mar rodea todo su mundo y donde el ambiente adquiere un tono amarillo de ensueño al atardecer.</p>
