It is about a man who receives a phone call from his dying ex-wife 40 years after their divorce. She wants to forgive him and he feels sorry for his mistakes during the marriage, until he realizes that he doesn't know if he is talking to the first or the second wife, because both had the same name! It is funny and made me laugh, but the story looks at it is not the intention of the author.

Javiercito se tomó el viaje con la ilusión y la alegría anticipada de ver a sus papás, sin tener idea de lo difícil y peligroso que es, aún para adultos jovenes y fuertes.</p><p>Pero durante el viaje el niño encontró personas que le ayudaron, lo mantuvieron literalmente con vida mientras ellos mismos desfallecían en el desierto, bajo el sol quemante, sin agua.</p><p>Hay una escena tremenda, donde están todos los del grupo a punto de morir deshidratados, y se encuentran otro grupo que está peor que ellos. "Tienen algo raro en la cara" dice Javiercito "No mires!" le dice el chico de 19 años que ha sido su ángel guardián en toda la aventura. Creo que es la escena más terrible de todo el libro y yo siento las lágrimas agolparse detrás de mis ojos de solo pensarlo.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoLdYTR9Tfy5lYkuVxkNIMd9CJmI--wIc9Kp1t6q_oo-dnYMYepBHkQnKRy0-pJZvo6gJsc3bCUuXxx6UqfVTt-9oC2GZE3jxQTVEsuR87qd0LD7G1H0Q2vBWT4wKpbFVr2foNDkZq1PJnb9Bbrbphzpm2r5wDKXi5pVCI7Ip3Ft7pg3VbYQpZ_G0yxlo/s1136/solito2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1136" data-original-width="760" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoLdYTR9Tfy5lYkuVxkNIMd9CJmI--wIc9Kp1t6q_oo-dnYMYepBHkQnKRy0-pJZvo6gJsc3bCUuXxx6UqfVTt-9oC2GZE3jxQTVEsuR87qd0LD7G1H0Q2vBWT4wKpbFVr2foNDkZq1PJnb9Bbrbphzpm2r5wDKXi5pVCI7Ip3Ft7pg3VbYQpZ_G0yxlo/s320/solito2.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Ahora, después de su aventura, Javier logra por fin exorcizar un poco sus demonios, y ponerlos todos al servicio de nosotros, no para entretenernos, sino para despertarnos, hacernos tomar conciencia de que hay personas que sufren, que lo pasan mal, y luego están viviendo entre nosotros con todos sus problemas y traumas a cuestas.

De no haber sido por ese adolescente que cargó a Javiercito y a otra niña con la que tampoco tenía nada que ver a sus espaldas bajo el sol abrasante y sin agua, esos dos pequeños hubieran pasado a engrosar la lista de fatalidades en este gran problema que es la inmigración ilegal. En este libro, a mi modo de ver, ese chico es el verdadero héroe de la historia. Quién sabe dónde andará y si la vida le ha devuelto en buena fortuna la ayuda que brindó en el momento en que a él mismo no le quedaba casi nada, que es en lo que consiste la verdadera generosidad.</p><p><br /></p>Arihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248759755092630991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352207245580817760.post-67710677904718974522023-09-22T13:39:00.000-07:002023-09-22T13:39:33.792-07:00Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGQ6rQ_48_YL9YXYZz35nycwJe9CPrqj6Gw4C6s1Lu_Nf3MmdTqC50NOzap4wECX9tXYhw_Vn3X6yrvxLawQLDlhkVXOFQc2LkPKrUwTMIL_I3RzXj7qumYc4ofS9Dmg9KK665jrZq7FU2j3CCePArF4i63EZif2vn9hUeLjmV7TDcupoJZqPpAdKlNr8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="717" data-original-width="1264" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGQ6rQ_48_YL9YXYZz35nycwJe9CPrqj6Gw4C6s1Lu_Nf3MmdTqC50NOzap4wECX9tXYhw_Vn3X6yrvxLawQLDlhkVXOFQc2LkPKrUwTMIL_I3RzXj7qumYc4ofS9Dmg9KK665jrZq7FU2j3CCePArF4i63EZif2vn9hUeLjmV7TDcupoJZqPpAdKlNr8" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />A very short first part of this book tells the story of an abused kid, who was mistreated by his father and bullied at school. According to the depiction of Isaacson, Musk's father loved him, but had too many issues to be a good father. He insulted Elon constantly, psychologically tortured him, and always sided with his bullies. On the other hand, he tried to help him accomplish his dreams, tried to fund his projects, regardless of how crazy they sounded, and tried to support him and his siblings in any way he could. It is a pretty contradictory image of an abusive father, that reflects perfectly in the current personality of musk: a man that can be nice and charming; but also as Isaacson puts it "a daemon" that can say the cruelest things to people, and then expect them to continue their relationship with him (work, friendship, marriage) as if nothing has happened or being said. He even at some point screamed to one of his wives "If you were my employee, I would fire you!" what a terrible thing to say to a person you should love and respect. But then again, that is what his father did to him and that is what he learned, and that is who he is.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>The second part of the book deals with Musk's struggles to create the first company he owned: x.com... he had dreams of making it the only place to go for all financial needs: payments, income, taxes, etc... That eventually was sold for 30M+ and as Musk said, he suddenly transitioned from having $5K in his account to having $22,000,005.00 overnight. He indulged in a 1000,000 McLaren car and little more, and with the remaining money, he found another business to create. This time it was PayPal, but again, since he has such a bad temper, people there did not like to work with him, and on the first vacation he took, they secretly sold the company and fired him. He was upset, and probably cried all his way to the bank to collect his 300 million dollars cut of the sale. And he was very nice with the people who betrayed him. He thanked them and kept his friendship with all of them. That served him well for when in the future he needed those same people to help him in other adventures such as SpaceX. Tesla and Twitter.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjL2cjnLW0_QHb8DYt4OPYYX2_p9o3HjGqTUqf_Db4T0HftJzbW-3utInfiXZBPjlC_5dU_ih7MX3NEDPgiRDwalbDEjttB04kOcoaGGXMpDQ8pCm5fdAgMBs3uMaIeWNjWJZ93-XC6F71rMRrnhUBx0vpRaL7-lmOsuchWZcZ76BOy-xr5btH5alvPhdo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="515" data-original-width="916" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjL2cjnLW0_QHb8DYt4OPYYX2_p9o3HjGqTUqf_Db4T0HftJzbW-3utInfiXZBPjlC_5dU_ih7MX3NEDPgiRDwalbDEjttB04kOcoaGGXMpDQ8pCm5fdAgMBs3uMaIeWNjWJZ93-XC6F71rMRrnhUBx0vpRaL7-lmOsuchWZcZ76BOy-xr5btH5alvPhdo" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>Finally, the third part has to do with the time when money is not an issue anymore. Although apparently money has never been what motivates Musk, who seems to think that he is the only human being capable or helping "humanity" be better or even survive on the planet or elsewhere. "If I don't save it, then humanity is doomed" seems to be the sole idea in his obsessed brain. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsecKrvB9TkVSbBYsCU9Ux6b5YRisyBpto3HP7vJPxQYQPrtqe65U0eYJ26oKNvPvVmD-3h8IuGmIV_2xHhAzy9B5UNrCeKxM6O636C-636Qv5EPD1Z-gWwEPOj49c5FrhiWP21F30N3Z80K_8GzBzVtuL2YVV1IP246HdfgZimr9pjoN_gkPdcfKMOSg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="759" data-original-width="1024" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsecKrvB9TkVSbBYsCU9Ux6b5YRisyBpto3HP7vJPxQYQPrtqe65U0eYJ26oKNvPvVmD-3h8IuGmIV_2xHhAzy9B5UNrCeKxM6O636C-636Qv5EPD1Z-gWwEPOj49c5FrhiWP21F30N3Z80K_8GzBzVtuL2YVV1IP246HdfgZimr9pjoN_gkPdcfKMOSg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><p></p><p>My personal take is that regardless of his motivation (wealth, power, saving humanity) Musk has been able to accomplish things that are unimaginable for the rest of us: Provide private transportation services to outer space ("allowing the potential for humanity to conquer the galaxy"), create an electric vehicle that can drive itself while ("saving humanity from climate change"), a payment system that is useful and safe, and have more than 10 children ("saving humanity from extinction"), including one that as of last year hated him and decided to transition to the opposite sex. </p><p><br /></p><p>He is only 50 years old, so there is a lot more to be written in his biography. I hope he succeeds in his endeavors and fulfills his dreams of helping humanity in any way he can. He seems to be a very persistent and accomplished person, so I imagine success will be always waiting for him ahead. Good luck, Elon!<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgWNn4CLtBxQ8fpPlpBhgJe2dKpkVYoggJ57ZOK0UscHXGhVTDsineWPxOLFLgh-TMJicOY1DXPkq5UaMrkpcbablwEVyQZD9cJnzG7u6F4Qq1iTaU6cVsI3dv62XFqeX9vmr2pIbV1jInzPfVJLHThmL8KZhScahTNzI0w2DO20ONZE-hqedKkTEAcUXk" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="689" data-original-width="1000" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgWNn4CLtBxQ8fpPlpBhgJe2dKpkVYoggJ57ZOK0UscHXGhVTDsineWPxOLFLgh-TMJicOY1DXPkq5UaMrkpcbablwEVyQZD9cJnzG7u6F4Qq1iTaU6cVsI3dv62XFqeX9vmr2pIbV1jInzPfVJLHThmL8KZhScahTNzI0w2DO20ONZE-hqedKkTEAcUXk" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Arihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248759755092630991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352207245580817760.post-40398947573282518202023-09-05T16:27:00.005-07:002023-09-05T16:27:57.751-07:00<h2 style="text-align: left;"> Salvo mi corazón, todo está bien - Héctor Abad Faciolince</h2><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh98EWIbEw0u3sOVpZtG2mu2U-gXXQpe6RP2HkqVGwj6ku0dLy3hunrgYbIhpoNn8ZWoYA_Ii8YKkXhr6MkIyfdW77SwM6zd7v6_eMlUK-u2QFlkNLIIZtWFiaC_-Wk2B1fho7sjaWuw266-w-8gZQ1K5b6KBsyauH04yQ6eq4gV5wQYCMz-wrEoRzbshE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="268" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh98EWIbEw0u3sOVpZtG2mu2U-gXXQpe6RP2HkqVGwj6ku0dLy3hunrgYbIhpoNn8ZWoYA_Ii8YKkXhr6MkIyfdW77SwM6zd7v6_eMlUK-u2QFlkNLIIZtWFiaC_-Wk2B1fho7sjaWuw266-w-8gZQ1K5b6KBsyauH04yQ6eq4gV5wQYCMz-wrEoRzbshE" width="145" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div>Esta es la historia de un sacerdote gordo y bueno que se enferma del corazón.

Es muy bonito y exhaustivo.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDzQM4nuvpm7eRJK0RUjo0eMSWREgpA8cvVZKHrWCw7x7pr0r1-91_Yxt1TACKXIbZz4AxQrB9_P2iAC5855Wz-wqHJlBLBIXOmuIIg0RoiWrRQsgZoWVs2bUKCN5J-DEP9wm9ESxh5wQgcpU8Fn6Ij876WghLnNAHNqR1EjptXmPsznKIoF7dqrv5rjU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="276" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDzQM4nuvpm7eRJK0RUjo0eMSWREgpA8cvVZKHrWCw7x7pr0r1-91_Yxt1TACKXIbZz4AxQrB9_P2iAC5855Wz-wqHJlBLBIXOmuIIg0RoiWrRQsgZoWVs2bUKCN5J-DEP9wm9ESxh5wQgcpU8Fn6Ij876WghLnNAHNqR1EjptXmPsznKIoF7dqrv5rjU" width="147" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>Arihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03248759755092630991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352207245580817760.post-91392911034283294192023-03-29T19:56:00.003-07:002023-03-29T19:56:32.775-07:00Los divinos - Laura Restrepo<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_XVHpbwKtOrhs8R2q71wq8eS0-U287T3X7eh69h3QiprBr7EGlOLEnIudh0uFOMBSfWktvxKYP-vWLmrx3ITQu1Z7vVSPVQQJkLfO1FJGP3cOS6Tm9_Wn9kuC7g-qK6reVB-FBWWyxgFzF7RjF3jE6ee5fqnMlsP4x2U_w66XrA6zb2Z2u5_vNuKv/s1960/mf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1470" data-original-width="1960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_XVHpbwKtOrhs8R2q71wq8eS0-U287T3X7eh69h3QiprBr7EGlOLEnIudh0uFOMBSfWktvxKYP-vWLmrx3ITQu1Z7vVSPVQQJkLfO1FJGP3cOS6Tm9_Wn9kuC7g-qK6reVB-FBWWyxgFzF7RjF3jE6ee5fqnMlsP4x2U_w66XrA6zb2Z2u5_vNuKv/s320/mf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KOX37Mmcv-HXk8-eDpjYd1KmM2EvwBpzYeG-Hlc27yi5dzMHmO6d1yjhgXW-HEYKDs8EwZXmy4Lp8vMaKYgyZjszaSsuh6yLyxaeGMv7GoAHG6WsSpyZJ18NmLUSM00C_UW5BU3IVJwnwBGnS5__osf_635vpnI41I2KCqZZLfQ3iHdt5DAHv54E/s700/mf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="444" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KOX37Mmcv-HXk8-eDpjYd1KmM2EvwBpzYeG-Hlc27yi5dzMHmO6d1yjhgXW-HEYKDs8EwZXmy4Lp8vMaKYgyZjszaSsuh6yLyxaeGMv7GoAHG6WsSpyZJ18NmLUSM00C_UW5BU3IVJwnwBGnS5__osf_635vpnI41I2KCqZZLfQ3iHdt5DAHv54E/s320/mf.jpg" width="203" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>En esta novela Laura Restrepo describe la historia y el mundo de un joven de clase alta, muy privilegiado que siempre está buscando emociones fuertes.

It is so terribly sad what happens to this sad, sad dog with his sad, sad owner. I don't know what was in Auster's mind when he wrote this dismaying story. The poor dog! Those beings that are in this world only because we created them, the poor things that only want to be loved and give love in return. They don't deserve to be mistreated even in fiction. The poor thing! I can't get over it.

Ulysses is one of the best novels -if not the best- that has ever been written. <div><br /></div><div>It is a big puzzle, a delicious class on literature, a big joke, a beautiful composition.
It took me about 20 months, and the help of 12 friends of my literary group to disentangle the beauty of this magnificent work.</div><div><br /></div><div>We read one episode per month and spent a few extra days working on those chapters that were more complicated.
Joyce wrote this book intending to leave it to his future readers as a big and very difficult puzzle. But the task proved to be so monumental for his contemporary friends, that he found himself in the obligation to write a guide to read his work.</div><div><br /></div><div>He came up with a single page with the names of 18 episodes of the Oddysey and the pages where they supposedly corresponded to his novel. And those are the 18 episodes that we now know that Ulysses has.</div><div><br /></div><div><u><b>Episode 1: Telemachus</b></u>: This shows Stephen Dedalus and Buck Mulligan starting the day, shaving, talking about a few interesting things. Joyce made fun of the ceremony of the Eucharist and started the book as starting one big mass. There are allusions to Ireland, literature, religion, a lot of humor and jokes, and a fluid back story to support the idea that Stephen is sad, depressed over his mother's death, and Mulligan is cocky and arrogant.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 2: Nestor</u></b>: We follow Stephen to his work at a school, where he gives a class and then goes to the principal's office to collect his wages. The principal's name is Mr. Deasy; a very opinionated man who thinks he knows history well, but in reality, he is wrong about absolutely everything. The episode is hilarious because of all the wrong things that Mr. Deasy says about the history of Ireland, the Jews, money, etc. Stephen is still very sad when he leaves his office.</div><div><br /></div><div><u><b>Episode 3: Proteus</b></u>: This episode is when the book starts to show its real potential. It is delicious, rich, complicated, beautiful, dense. We follow Stephen for a walk on the beach. The young man thinks a lot of things and writes a poem "Mouth to her mouth kiss" is one of the lines of the poem. He also sees a dog on the beach, a cloud in the sky, and a ship in the ocean. He also masturbates and takes a pee. All of this is very meticulously described with images, textures, and sounds, and with a big dose of humor and laughter. This is the best episode of the three that compose the first part of the novel.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 4: Calypso</u></b>: In this episode, we see Leopold bloom for the first time. He fixes breakfast for his wife and walks around his neighborhood. He also thinks a lot of thoughts, but in this case, his concerns are more in the line of a married man whose wife is cheating on him. We also learn that he lost a child many years ago, and he has a daughter that is blossoming into a beautiful woman.</div><div><br /></div><div><u><b>Episode 5: Lotus eaters</b></u>: In this episode, we follow Leopold Bloom to a funeral. That of poor Paddy Dignam who died suddenly leaving behind a widow and several children. Bloom does not have a lot of money, but he contributes $5 to the GoFundMe page (or its 1900 equivalent) for Dignam's family.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 6: Hades:</u></b> Bloom tries to catch a ride in a carriage with some people that ignore him and tease him. We also see a lot of characters, among them a man in a mackintosh. The man in the mackintosh is the big mystery of this story. Joyce never said who he represented and nobody really found evidence to affirm anything. Some say it is the reader, others say it is Joyce. The beauty of this is that we can think about what we want, and every time we think about something, we will be reading another book. This is an infinite book.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 7: Aeolus</u></b>: This funny episode, written as if it were a newspaper, with headlines and different styles. This was the most difficult for me because I was easily lost in what Joyce wanted to convey. But even not getting a lot of what is really happening, it is a very interesting read - and re-read. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 8: Lestrygonians</u></b>: We see so much food in this episode! Bloom has lunch, and he thinks a lot of things. Among them is how his wife is about to commit adultery with a man he knows. A little actor with whom she is infatuated lately. Bloom eats like a savage and then goes to the museum.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 9: Scylla and Charybdis</u></b>: Bloom goes to the museum, sees Stephen and some friends, and listens to their chat. Then he leaves and the guys start gossiping about him. This is another difficult episode and I did not understand much, so I cannot really say much about it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 10: Wandering rocks</u></b>: This is a beautiful episode. Written like a big puzzle. It is a masterpiece! We follow bloom walking on the streets, and we are like a drone, or a fly seeing that moment in time from a multiplicity of different angles. We see the same scenes time and again, but each time from a slightly different point of view. It is beautiful and relaxing and full of mirrors and smiles. I really loved this episode. So far it was my favorite of the entire book.... but then....</div><div><br /></div><div><u><b>Episode 11: Sirens</b></u>: This is the most beautiful piece of art I have ever read! This episode is written like a symphony. It was composed as if it were a musical piece. It is so well and beautifully composed, that you can almost hear the music. Bloom eats a little bit more, interacts with Stephen and some people, and very little action really happens. The beauty of this episode lies on its sound. It was my favourite episode so far... well, until...</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 12: Cyclops</u></b>: Bloom goes to a bar and talks to two people. They tease him and he leaves before starting a fight or having to buy drinks for everyone. He also has to go to Dignam's widow's house to help her deal with the insurance claim for her husband's death.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 13: Nausicaa</u></b>: After visiting Dignam's widow (which we don't see) Bloom goes to the beach and sees a girl there. He likes her, and she likes him and they lock glances from the distance. Then Bloom masturbates while the girl pretends not to notice. Finally, she leaves and Bloom finds out she is "lame" Feeling foolish, he leaves the beach. We hear the bells of the church, learn about some romantic thoughts inside the girl's head.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 14: Oxen of the Sun</u></b>: We follow Bloom to the hospital, where a lady is in labor. The language of this episode is simply delicious. Bloom goes to a bar inside the hospital (Ireland-1904!) and listens to Stephen and his friend while they progressively become drunker and drunker. It is so far the best episode I have ever read... well, until...</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 15: Circe</u></b>: In this episode, Bloom follows Stephen to the bad neighborhood of the city. There he has a gruesome encounter with his own consciousness. He allows all his daemons to visit him and allows them to punish him in all imaginable ways. This episode alone is a masterpiece. It is a thorough description of what happens when you allow your mind to go free, and you allow all your black thoughts to take over. It is horrible and beautiful at the same time.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 16: Eumaeus</u></b>: After that terrible experience at the red neighborhood, Bloom and Stephen walk together and talk a little. This is a very difficult episode, and probably the one I disliked the most. Joyce pretends to be a bad writer, and he writes this episode in a very bad style. It is difficult to bear after reading such wonderful pieces of art before. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 17: Ithaca</u></b>: Bloom invites Stephen to his house, and they drink some coffee and I don't remember if they eat something. Finally, they pee together in the bushes and Stephen leaves. Bloom goes up to his bedroom where his wife Molly is sleeping (after being inseminated by another man in the afternoon), and falls asleep thinking about all the people he met during the day. This episode sounded to me a lot like the eucharist part when people have communion. I loved this episode, with its easy "Q&A" style. It is like the skeleton of an episode, and the reader is the one in charge of giving some flesh and sense to the story. I think this one was one of the most fun, easier, and most enjoyable episodes I have read so far.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Episode 18: Penelope</u></b>: To me, the most beautiful and also the perfect ending to such a grandiose novel. This is a soliloquy by Molly. She is in bed, besides her husband, and she cannot go to sleep. She tries several methods to try to fall asleep and thinks a lot. She probably masturbates to try to relax but to no avail. She fantasizes about Stephen, also about her afternoon lover, and finally decides to give a new opportunity to her unhappy marriage. She decides that starting the next day, she would be a better wife, bring breakfast to bed to her husband, and buy delicious things for him to eat. Finally, she remembers the time when Leopold Bloom proposed to her and she said "yes I will Yes". What I loved about this episode is that it does not have any punctuation sign, so the reader can put the punctuation anywhere they want, and can basically be reading a different thing every time. There are almost infinite possibilities. Isn't that the greatest thing ever?</div><div><br /></div><div>In summary, Ulysses is the best book I have ever read, without any doubt. I declare myself a convert and thanks to my literary group I was able to finally appreciate the beauty and complexity of such a wonderful author. No wonder why there is an entire industry about this single book. Millions have been spent in dissertations and PhD and master's degrees in the topic. In my case I can only say: I loved it!</div>

The authors analyze the problem of human trafficking within 24 countries, including the US. It is terrible to learn how people are abused all over the world, and there is little that can be done. The most frightening part was that about the "muti murders", where people are trafficked to kill them and use their body parts as components of religious rituals. <div><br /></div><div>Here is the cover and editorial information of the book I read:</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BudGtD683mA/YIoL5lJ5qCI/AAAAAAAAFLA/ofCy9WUqcQkX_biEyac3Zs84drTE0ZlqQCNcBGAsYHQ/00.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="267" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BudGtD683mA/YIoL5lJ5qCI/AAAAAAAAFLA/ofCy9WUqcQkX_biEyac3Zs84drTE0ZlqQCNcBGAsYHQ/00.jpg" width="160" /></a></div><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RWNRJExQch4/YIoL6QaV6oI/AAAAAAAAFLE/j2treKGOm7cziq9prunFj7kysY8GTJRJQCNcBGAsYHQ/01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2298" data-original-width="674" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RWNRJExQch4/YIoL6QaV6oI/AAAAAAAAFLE/j2treKGOm7cziq9prunFj7kysY8GTJRJQCNcBGAsYHQ/01.jpg" width="70" /></a></div><br /><br />Here is the table of contents:</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jEoErtAcByY/YIoMXTg1WOI/AAAAAAAAFLQ/f_0xKqZ_0mciuadvAMhQLCkDqSIyLFiXgCNcBGAsYHQ/02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2096" data-original-width="626" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jEoErtAcByY/YIoMXTg1WOI/AAAAAAAAFLQ/f_0xKqZ_0mciuadvAMhQLCkDqSIyLFiXgCNcBGAsYHQ/02.jpg" width="72" /></a></div><br />A fragment of the introduction:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7tBkF1bI-94/YIoMaP_K7CI/AAAAAAAAFLU/Nf5RuJC_dsMuYGmlbdy5buXgvzvPvjuUQCNcBGAsYHQ/03.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="854" data-original-width="616" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7tBkF1bI-94/YIoMaP_K7CI/AAAAAAAAFLU/Nf5RuJC_dsMuYGmlbdy5buXgvzvPvjuUQCNcBGAsYHQ/03.jpg" width="173" /></a></div>A fragment of the first part:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2OGIY1lwGSs/YIoM7WF6ayI/AAAAAAAAFLg/yjhzltCpDTcsutesEdbJ4tn9ChkFnlgDwCNcBGAsYHQ/04.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1123" data-original-width="797" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2OGIY1lwGSs/YIoM7WF6ayI/AAAAAAAAFLg/yjhzltCpDTcsutesEdbJ4tn9ChkFnlgDwCNcBGAsYHQ/04.jpg" width="170" /></a></div><br /></div><div>An interesting analysis of Colombia's Human Trafficking situation:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O1WP6PGjbEE/YIoNAzj9HyI/AAAAAAAAFLk/QCPSt0JxWOweKApj3XEd0vcbj5_bTC-HwCNcBGAsYHQ/05.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="4289" data-original-width="733" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O1WP6PGjbEE/YIoNAzj9HyI/AAAAAAAAFLk/QCPSt0JxWOweKApj3XEd0vcbj5_bTC-HwCNcBGAsYHQ/s16000/05.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div>How indiscriminate deportation affects the trafficking trials:</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N9CgKTjgJu0/YIoNOxTcIFI/AAAAAAAAFLs/WghnbjM3yYYA7p_UPF8ZeCKszAK2jDtIQCNcBGAsYHQ/06.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="836" data-original-width="1283" height="209" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N9CgKTjgJu0/YIoNOxTcIFI/AAAAAAAAFLs/WghnbjM3yYYA7p_UPF8ZeCKszAK2jDtIQCNcBGAsYHQ/06.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />It is so disturbing that in Thailand, millions of children are born without citizenship.

In this short book he analyzes several aspects of what constitutes fiction. One of my fellow readers said that he loved the musicality and fluidity of Wood's preface, and I agree. Here is a fragment of it, so you can judge for yourself:</p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-utty-BWHQik/YGo7RgQdXSI/AAAAAAAAFDQ/ESRWoDHwCGcSZmOlkud3OXon3AHT-0bkQCNcBGAsYHQ/08.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="447" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-utty-BWHQik/YGo7RgQdXSI/AAAAAAAAFDQ/ESRWoDHwCGcSZmOlkud3OXon3AHT-0bkQCNcBGAsYHQ/08.JPG" width="158" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yhLwPoQkRlA/YGo7SmKmgHI/AAAAAAAAFDU/2v_myY4ArnIp8FUlHRKXv6tfALpIHEEeACNcBGAsYHQ/09.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="475" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yhLwPoQkRlA/YGo7SmKmgHI/AAAAAAAAFDU/2v_myY4ArnIp8FUlHRKXv6tfALpIHEEeACNcBGAsYHQ/09.JPG" width="136" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pVKJPkyxRRc/YGo7UjiUaMI/AAAAAAAAFDY/Xh6ohzcjVf8HN2tzXwv8KCYQJroV3AeoQCNcBGAsYHQ/10.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="473" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pVKJPkyxRRc/YGo7UjiUaMI/AAAAAAAAFDY/Xh6ohzcjVf8HN2tzXwv8KCYQJroV3AeoQCNcBGAsYHQ/10.JPG" width="141" /></a></div></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-72nQyvdwz1w/YGo7Yf_JaOI/AAAAAAAAFDg/Ruju32RuSQA2_lX1DSsPpADjQff9JoS0ACNcBGAsYHQ/11.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="374" data-original-width="557" height="215" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-72nQyvdwz1w/YGo7Yf_JaOI/AAAAAAAAFDg/Ruju32RuSQA2_lX1DSsPpADjQff9JoS0ACNcBGAsYHQ/11.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Out of the many takeaways of this book, is the discovery that Flaubert was the pioneer of modern narrative as we know it. Wood cites many critics of the novel, like Viktor Shklousky and Roland Barthes. He also addressed the most proverbial questions around fictional literature: "Is realism real?" "What is a successful metaphor?" "How does fiction move us?" He proclaims that fiction is both, artifice and verisimilitude.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7x2yG_wq-fU/YGo_ST6zIXI/AAAAAAAAFD0/bZL3G_ZxzO8SqHdbGy3LMrH01XhWo61SQCNcBGAsYHQ/04.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="473" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7x2yG_wq-fU/YGo_ST6zIXI/AAAAAAAAFD0/bZL3G_ZxzO8SqHdbGy3LMrH01XhWo61SQCNcBGAsYHQ/04.JPG" width="154" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>When explaining <i>Narrative</i>, Wood makes an interesting description of what he calls the "<i>Indirect free speech of style</i>" which is as I understood it, the phenomenon where we do not know if what we are reading are the thoughts of the character, or the thoughts of the author. Apparently, this style is a big realization among my fellow readers of this book. Almost all of them stated that this was a new discovery for them!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hz-wyAATT0E/YGo_YXsuB0I/AAAAAAAAFD4/Yi1_YjS_bCYbfkEaQknQqE6HYU3bF6PYwCNcBGAsYHQ/13.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="425" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hz-wyAATT0E/YGo_YXsuB0I/AAAAAAAAFD4/Yi1_YjS_bCYbfkEaQknQqE6HYU3bF6PYwCNcBGAsYHQ/13.JPG" width="162" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>When discussing the importance of <i>Detail</i>, Wood cited works by Chechov, Marai, Proust and many other authors who use subtle and small details to enrich their narration.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kJ1gJK-8-aM/YGo_dLPysLI/AAAAAAAAFD8/yCovRqFdEV8m_jEBihos3V9Jfz_gcysaQCNcBGAsYHQ/14.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="743" data-original-width="396" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kJ1gJK-8-aM/YGo_dLPysLI/AAAAAAAAFD8/yCovRqFdEV8m_jEBihos3V9Jfz_gcysaQCNcBGAsYHQ/14.JPG" width="128" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>In the <i>Character </i>section, Wood mentions that an amateur writer can be recognized instantly because they always begin their works by describing a photograph. He proposes examples of the opposite by mentioning Warthon, Saramago, Bolaño and a few others whose characters are realistic and at the same time so fantastic that they become a fascinating brain trap for the reader.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also found it very interesting when Wood discussed <i>Consciousness</i>, and stated that there is a direct link from Rousseau to Dostoievsky when it comes to developing the stream of consciousness style. </p><p>The aspect that I found more interesting in this book was the incessant reference to different classic works. I have read a few of them, but I was able to use his list as another hint guide to my classic reading. Thank you, James!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-29GBjIk1Pg8/YGo_lUBcElI/AAAAAAAAFEE/Hd9-NBYSyB0kF8h_hk810Hyh8zdtJUXQgCNcBGAsYHQ/16_2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;
