  1. "#Writer, #critic, #cultural #commentator, #polyglot, and multilingual #translator #IlanStavans is very clear about his #Jewish heritage: His grandparents had been #Shtetl-dwellers in Eastern #Europe, in #Poland and the #Ukraine, and moved to #Mexico between 1919 and 1929 to flee #poverty, #antisemitism, and #pogroms. #Stavans was born in #MexicoCity in 1961 to an #Ashkenazi family.

    This certitude differentiates Stavans from many of the characters in #ElIluminado, a #graphicnovel in #English and #Spanglish that Stavans co-#wrote with #illustrator and writer #SteveSheinkin. In the #book, some of the characters are crypto-#Jews and are not entirely sure of, but suspect or deny, their Jewish heritage.

    El Iluminado was first published in 2012 by Basic #Books/Hachette. The University of #NewMexico Press republished it in March , because “the story is about #SantaFe and New Mexico, and is of this community,” says #UNM Press Director Stephen Hull."

    Throughout the course of this year, we will celebrate the centenary of The Sun Also Rises by inviting guests on the show to talk about fascinating aspects of the book and its rich history. 

    In this episode, we explore how the book was actually written—from a sloppy first draft to a modernist masterpiece. What will tracing this composition history tells us about the evolution of The Sun Also Rises and Hemingway’s own development as a writer?

    To help us explore this topic, Carl Eby joins us once again! Eby is the former President of the Hemingway Society and has focused much of his research on Hemingway’s posthumous work. He has joined us previously for episodes on Islands in the Stream and The Garden of Eden, and he also inaugurated our One True Sentence series with One True Sentence #1, a discussion of Hemingway’s “Paris 1922” sketches.

  10. CW: TW mentions death/suicide

    Today is the 3rd #anniversary of my grandfather’s death, which came 5 months after the death of my beloved grandmother (I’m estranged from my parents). Two days after my Papa’s #funeral, my dear friend Cliff died - on the very day I was supposed to be taking him to the #oncologist.

    I #wrote about that horrible period of my life - about #death and #loss and #love and #grief - in my personal essay in #AfterLife from #Haymarket #Books.

    I hope it #helps someone. Anyone.♥️
