Uncharted Galaxies and Local Bars: The Irresistible Charm of Angélica Gorodischer’s Trafalgar
When I first saw this book recommended on Kaggsy’s blog, my interest was immediately piqued. Mentioning Angélica Gorodischer in the same breath as Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities or the satirical, absurd sci-fi of Kurt Vonnegut sets a remarkably high bar. Yet, despite these recognizable echoes, the Argentine author possesses a fierce, unmistakable voice that stands entirely on its own.

Ilse's status update
Ilse
is on page 155 of 636 of Tomas Nevinson: What sense does it make that after 19 years & 11 months have elapsed a crime can still merit the severest of sentences,but not 30 days later?Does time convert sth that existed into sth that didn’t?Justice is absurd,a fantasy,impossible.We act as if justice existed &we happily dish it out when there can be no justice.Accepting its meaningless rules is another matter,we have to do something to keep up appearances.

"I was reminded of Henry James' story The Figure in the Carpet while reading Of Human Bondage a few weeks ago so I wasn't surprised to see Henry James mentioned several times at the beginning of The Razor's Edge.

“The central idea of the present book is very simple. It is that education is not primarily about the acquisition of information. It is not even about the acquisition of ‘skills’ in the conventional sense, to equip us for particular roles in society. It is about how we become more human (and therefore more free, in the truest sense of that word). This is a broader and a deeper question, but no less practical. Too often we have not been educating our humanity. We have been educating ourselves for doing rather than for being.”

Anyhow, thanks very much.
