Ricki Yasha TarrWhat book?
Michael Thériault@RickiTarr El amor en los tiempos de cólera
@RickiTarr Era inevitable: el olor de las almendras amargas le recordaba siempre el destino de los amores contrariados.
AaronIn English it’s beautiful and mysterious. In Spanish it’s a poem that half rhymes with the title of the novel. Thanks for sharing this!
@amsilverman @RickiTarr I saw the snippet of page @RickiTarr had posted, thought Wait, I know that, but…, and ran to my shelves for it.
It is gorgeous. It has reminded me that it’s been a bit since I’ve read a novel in Spanish. Isabel Allende’s La casa de los espíritus awaits on a shelf. Maybe that. So does Roberto Bolaño’s 2666, but that intimidates the hell out of me.
@mtheriaultsf @amsilverman It's a beautiful book in English I'm sure it's even more lyric
@mtheriaultsf @amsilverman Sorry, even more lyrical in Spanish
