James Atkinson Thank you for this comment and the link to your Paris Review essay, each of which has opened a new horizon.

These are all things we think about and sometimes talk about in our home. My wife -- born in Colombia, emigrated to Venezuela, emigrated to Brazil, emigrated to Spain, emigrated to Mexico, and finally emigrated to the US...to end up in a gringo house where something like 'le llenaron la barriga de huesos' represents an impenetrable mystery. Things go unsaid and everyone translates silence.

Suddenly all of us need to read your books. Thank you.
