#FeelinTheLove Day 6: Set in Lima, Peru, the author introduces us to young Marito who fell in love with an older woman, a 30-something divorceé, who found Marito‘s teenybopper infatuation amusing until she herself became enamoured by the innocent and untoward and forbidden romance of it all. #SteamyLove with the Mrs Robinson vibe.

Book #17 of 2024: “Plotting Women” by Jean Franco

This was a challenge. I lack a lot of the background needed to understand many of the references made to other texts and authors, but the topic (women who, in their own ways, subverted gender norms/expectations in Mexican culture) was engrossing. I wouldn‘t recommend this book unless this has been a field of study for you already. It‘s dense.

Insane. So Bolaño

One of Neruda‘s later works.

I really appreciate Neruda‘s observations on life and humanity. But his poetry on love is really where he truly shines for me. #TheSealeyChallenge 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
