Educated by Tara Westover
‘If I could turn back the clock, I’d go back in time and read Tara Westover’s compelling memoir, “Educated,” for the first time. It’s an absolutely fascinating look at her upbringing, which took place on an isolated mountain with fundamentalist Mormon survivalist parents who removed themselves and their seven children from society. She did not receive a formal education and did not set foot in a school until she attended college, ultimately earning her PhD from Cambridge University. Her childhood couldn’t have been more unconventional — she was often in unthinkable situations that are difficult to read. Her journey to personal freedom is a testament to her inner fortitude and deep intelligence. Her smart prose makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another world entirely, giving you an unflinching look at the reality of life with a cult-like family. I read it in three days, unable to put it down.’
— Lourdes Avila Uribe, senior shopping writer

Sarrasine, Honoré de Balzac

“Avez-vous jamais rencontré de ces femmes dont la beauté foudroyante défie les atteintes de l’âge, et qui semblent à trente- six ans plus désirables qu’elles ne devaient l’être quinze ans plus tôt? Leur visage est une âme passionnée, il étincelle; chaque trait y brille d’intelligence; chaque pore possède un éclat particulier, surtout aux lumières.”

[Honoré de Balzac, Sarrasine. Éditions du Bouchier, Paris. 2002.- page 6]

“Have you ever met one of those women whose startling beauty defies the assaults of time, and who seem at thirty-six more desirable than they could have been fifteen years earlier? Their faces are impassioned souls; they fairly sparkle; each feature gleams with intelligence; each possesses a brilliancy of his own, especially in the light”

After having known the text Symposium a reader feels a little wiser.

One might think there is a good theory on love.

“¿Por qué se muere la gente?” (Íñigo Domínguez)

¿Por qué se muere la gente?

Íñigo Domínguez

JotDown -Contemporary Culture Mag-; octubre, 2018

La pregunta no es tanto por qué se muere la gente, sino por qué no se mueren los que deberían. Los malos aguantan mucho más. En los últimos años ha habido la sensación de que se moría más gente de lo normal, gente que no se tenía que haber muerto. Lo comentas y la gente asiente, pero estamos todos pensando en famosos, claro, no en guerras. Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, Prince… El día que murió Leonard Cohen encendías el ordenador y al abrir el navegador aparecía este mensaje: «Idea: no permitas que el código de vestimenta se interponga en el uso de calcetines de colores». Si somos cada día más impresionables quizá es porque el umbral de sensibilidad cotidiano se mueve en el orden de lo banal. No sé ustedes, pero yo he percibido cada vez mayor escándalo y aspavientos cuando se muere alguien importante, o, mejor dicho, famoso, que no es lo mismo. Y cada vez es menos lo mismo. (…)

A vampire sucks my blood in the night

(David Bowie, singer and actor)

When I am alone, asleep -or so I think- there he comes.

Insomnia makes me feel & think  or nothing.

The mysterious, gentle vampire demands one more vein,
