i live in rio de janeiro. i'm completely cosmopolitan, and i have only one friend here, pedro, with whom i can talk about my interests. we meet every week. you can't find a list like poetryetc in the portughese or spanish-speaking world. i love anglo-saxon thought and avant-guarde and i think a lot about latin and anglo-saxon mutual fertilization. the most sophisticated anglo-saxons are the ones who have an interest and understanding of mediterranean thought. sadly, the opposite way, latins who really understand and assimilate anglo-saxons, is not strong. latins either hate anglo-saxons or adulate precisely the former's worst characteristics (or, at best, study their character but in a superficial and insufficient way.) winterson is chiefly a novelist. perhaps i've been too harsh with her, but i'm very critical. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Prince" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 7:36 AM Subject: Re: Last Post Laureate > Most kind of you to say, Ana. > Re your book: by all means, send it!
