I've had this on my bookshelf for awhile. I missed a pub quiz question about it so I bumped it to the front and read it. What was I thinking? This book is a treat from start to finish. Exotic, magical, cryptic, and yet so raw and earthy about how we feel about each other. Through feast and famine, life and death, this story rampages forward like a child exploring a toy store. Unpredictable, with Bradbury-like attention to the artful details.

#WickedWhispers Day 31: #Mask - I should begin Memory of Fire by Uruguayan literary author Eduardo Galeano. I fell in love with his The Book of Embraces and bought all his other books I can find. I should get to them soonest. 🙏🏼

I read the whole thing b/c there was important & interesting information, but this author did not really have the range to write this book lol. She has a college freshman‘s analysis of concepts like race, class & nationalism, and she chooses to write from the perspective of empires and states instead of a “people‘s history”… plus the chapter naming convention barely makes sense 😒 Ambitious but ultimately pretty superficial.

Insane. So Bolaño

This has just become my favorite Piñeiro! The audiobook narration was excellent and Piñeiro‘s words and this story made me tear up a few times.

Loved! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Next on audio…Another Piñeiro! ❤️

#SchoolSpirit #Memories This is one of my favorite cookbooks- my sister-in-law was Cuban and taught me how to cook some of the recipes from this cookbook.
