“In El Salvador, I dropped $5 out of my pocket at the border, and some guy came running up to me. At the beginning of the trip I would have been surprised by that. But by that point I would have been surprised if it didn’t happen.” —Matt Savino In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Matt talk about how the first version of his travel book was way too long, and what he ended up editing out (6:00); the origins of Matt’s Central America road trip, why he ended up turning it into a book, and how he ended up taking Rolf’s Paris class (12:00); how Matt’s “Spreadsheet of Pain” helped him edit his book down to manageable size, and how historical research helped his narrative (17:00); how he wrote about a road trip that didn’t actually reach its objective, and how he tried to model his narrative on Bill Bryson’s writing (26:00); how Matt used a hybrid publisher to get his travel book into the world in two years (31:00); the challenges, idiosyncrasies, and creative joys that come with creating a hybrid published book (39:00); how AI bots determined that Matt had “plagiarized” what turned out to be his own book (54:00); and Matt’s advice for people interested in hybrid publishing (60:30). Matt Savino (@ushuaia_or_bust) is the author of Land Without a Continent: A Road Trip through Mexico and Central America. He can be contacted via his website.

Sam gives an update on Trump's new appointments to his Revengers cabinet and their implications, shouts out Evan Greer's disruption of anti-trans bigot Rep. Nancy Mace, and underscores the qualitative changes in governance that fascism represents and calls for collective action against MAGA fascism NOW not waiting until atrocities are underway.  Sam also discusses Trump's plans for mass deportations of at least 11 million people, drawing parallels to historical atrocities and emphasizing the urgent need for mass defense, disruption and disobedience to support our immigrant siblings and stop the fascists from implementing their nightmare program.

Sam discusses the historic guilty verdict that was just rendered by a jury against Trump this past week (34 felonies for falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, all for the purposes of ensuring his illegitimate election in 2016), along with the slew of unhinged fascist threats and rants that have come in the aftermath of the verdict. Then, as this guilty verdict has in no way stopped his campaign for power again, she talks with two contributors to the June issue of The New Republic titled What American Fascism Would Look Like.

Francisco Goldman made a big choice as a young man. He chose to spend a year in Guatemala living with his uncle instead of pursuing the master’s degree he could have had from a prestigious school offering him a full scholarship. It turned out to be one of the most consequential decisions of his early life. This hour, Colin talks with Goldman about his novel Monkey Boy, a story about the legacy of violence on a family and much more, including how his decision to go to Guatemala has shaped his life.

En esta ocasión Yasmín Portales-Machado conversó con Judith Sierra-Rivera, puertorriqueña asentada en Pensilvania, de su libro Affective Intellectuals and the Space of Catastrophe in the Americas (Ohio State University Press, 2018), un estudio en cinco capítulos y epílogo sobre el rol de la emoción en el trabajo intelectual y la participación de “intelectuales” en el espacio político de América Latina. Affective Intellectuals puede leerse como un repaso del rol de las vanguardias intelectuales en la política latinoamericana del siglo XX y la primera década del XXI, o como un recorrido interesado por la extrema variabilidad de esas intervenciones según la geografía y el tiempo. Junto a figuras gigantescas como Carlos Monsiváis (México, 1938-2010) y Pedro Lemebel (Chile, 1952-2015), aprendemos de Francisco Goldman (norteamericano de origen guatemalteco), Josean Ramos (boricua, @josean_ramos en Twitter) y Sandra Álvarez Ramírez (cubana asentada en Alemania, @Negracubana en Twitter). El argumento básico es que existe una tradición intelectual en las Américas, anclada en las historias, los deseos y las necesidades de quienes han sufrido exclusión sistemática de la esfera pública (indígenas, afrodescendientes, migrantes, personas LGBTQ, de bajos recursos). Esta tesis lleva a Sierra-Rivera al análisis de escrituras donde el discurso emocional durante circunstancias catastróficas tuvo un impacto notable en la formación de comunidades organizadas para superar las crisis y, aún más, exigir su integración social y política completa. El libro, que comenzó siendo un proyecto sobre las ciudades latinoamericanas, deviene una respuesta particular a preguntas sobre el perfil y funcionamiento de los movimientos sociales en América Latina, el efecto del neoliberalismo en cómo entendemos el rol de distintas clases y grupos sociales en el espacio público, y, sobre todo, un alegato a favor de la emoción como elemento movilizador. Cuatro años después de publicar, Sierra-Rivera se pregunta si acaso fue cómplice de un proceso concurrente de “catastrofización de la realidad latinoamericana” por parte de intelectuales en busca de respuestas para la realidad del continente. Es posible, también es posible que ella tenga razón y las catástrofes no sean terremotos ni huracanes, sino el legado neoliberal de destrucción del tejido social, al que estas cinco personas respondieron, responden, siempre con amor y rabia. Judith Sierra-Rivera (voces.en.eco en Instagram, @jsierrarivera en Twitter) es profesora en los departamentos “Spanish and Latina/o Studies” y “Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies” de Pennsilvania State University (en State College, no en Filadelfia). Su investigación se enfoca en las producciones literarias y culturales de siglo XX y XXI del Caribe, América Latina y Latinxs en Estados Unidos. Las claves que organizan sus publicaciones y cursos son: pensamiento e interconexión de intelectuales, afectos, emociones, anticolonialismo, feminismo, estudios queer, raza, estudios interseccionales, estudios de masculinidades, y estudios de juventudes. Ahora trabaja en su segundo libro, Mongo Heroes: Laboring Vulnerable Masculinities for Anti-Colonialism in Puerto Rico, donde propone que el trabajo reproductivo de mujeres, hombres cisgénero gays y hombres trans creó representaciones vulnerables (de cuerpos envejecidos, enfermos, o mutilados) de los luchadores anticolonialistas boricuas, lo que contradice la imagen convencional del líder fuerte que guía a Puerto Rico hacia la independencia. Además, desarrolla un proyecto de humanística digital junto a sus colegas Krista Brune y Maria Truglio sobre mujeres latinas, brasileñas e italianas residentes en Pennsilvania central. Entrevista por Yasmín Portales-Machado, escritora de ciencia ficción, activista LGBTQ, curiosa sobre las relaciones entre consumo cultural y política en Cuba.

Judith Sierra-Rivera (voces.en.eco en Instagram, @jsierrarivera en Twitter) es profesora en los departamentos “Spanish and Latina/o Studies” y “Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies” de Pennsilvania State University (en State College, no en Filadelfia). Su investigación se enfoca en las producciones literarias y culturales de siglo XX y XXI del Caribe, América Latina y Latinxs en Estados Unidos. Las claves que organizan sus publicaciones y cursos son: pensamiento e interconexión de intelectuales, afectos, emociones, anticolonialismo, feminismo, estudios queer, raza, estudios interseccionales, estudios de masculinidades, y estudios de juventudes. Ahora trabaja en su segundo libro, Mongo Heroes: Laboring Vulnerable Masculinities for Anti-Colonialism in Puerto Rico, donde propone que el trabajo reproductivo de mujeres, hombres cisgénero gays y hombres trans creó representaciones vulnerables (de cuerpos envejecidos, enfermos, o mutilados) de los luchadores anticolonialistas boricuas, lo que contradice la imagen convencional del líder fuerte que guía a Puerto Rico hacia la independencia. Además, desarrolla un proyecto de humanística digital junto a sus colegas Krista Brune y Maria Truglio sobre mujeres latinas, brasileñas e italianas residentes en Pennsilvania central. Entrevista por Yasmín Portales-Machado, escritora de ciencia ficción, activista LGBTQ, curiosa sobre las relaciones entre consumo cultural y política en Cuba.

Francisco Goldman on his selection: My reading is from Vladimir Nabokov's novel, Pnin.  Timofey Pnin, Russian emigre professor at Wainsdell College somewhere in the Northeast, has belatedly just learned to drive, and has undertaken the drive to the summer house of the wealthy emigre Alexandr Petrovich Kukolnikov, otherwise known as Al Cook.  There other emigre intellectuals, artists, liberals, etc, are gathered.  Lonely Pnin, often a figure of fun, has sat down to relax a bit after trouncing his competitors in croquet, when he experiences one of those episodes of nervous or even cardiac unease that in this novel signals a dissolving of the separation of past and present. This passage is about how those we've lost return; how in an idyllic-seeming present, the monstrousness of the past can still, at least momentarily, grip our hearts again; how loss and the past, both monstrous and sweet, permeate the present.   Pnin at Bookshop.org Music: "Shift of Currents" by Blue Dot Sessions // CC BY-NC 2.0

Francisco Goldman spent nearly two decades living off and on in Mexico City when he decided to take on a daunting task: learning to drive in the biggest megalopolis in the Americas. In a conversation with poet Mónica de la Torre at the Americas Society, the writer talks about his memoir The Interior Circuit, wending his way through his driving adventure, politics and crime in the capital, and the city’s circus-like energy.

Nonstop Metropolis, the culminating volume in a trilogy of atlases, conveys innumerable unbound experiences of New York City through twenty-six imaginative maps and informative essays. Bringing together the insights of dozens of experts—from linguists to music historians, ethnographers, urbanists, and environmental journalists—amplified by cartographers, artists, and photographers, it explores all five boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey. We are invited to travel through Manhattan’s playgrounds, from polyglot Queens to many-faceted Brooklyn, and from the resilient Bronx to the mystical kung fu hip-hop mecca of Staten Island. The contributors to this exquisitely designed and gorgeously illustrated volume celebrate New York City’s unique vitality, its incubation of the avant-garde, and its literary history, but they also critique its racial and economic inequality, environmental impact, and erasure of its past. Nonstop Metropolis allows us to excavate New York’s buried layers, to scrutinize its political heft, and to discover the unexpected in one of the most iconic cities in the world. It is both a challenge and homage to how New Yorkers think of their city, and how the world sees this capital of capitalism, culture, immigration, and more.

Together, Solnit, Jelly-Schapiro and a host of contributors — writers, artists, cartographers and data-crunchers — have come up with dozens of exciting new ways to think about the five boroughs." —San Francisco Chronicle "Nonstop Metropolis is an engaging and enlightening read for anyone who loves New York City, creative scholarship, and top-notch graphic design." —Foreword Reviews "The sum of it all is, like New York itself, overwhelming, alluring and dazzlingly diverse."—Jewish Daily Forward "...the book...contains many beautiful and not-so-beautiful images that document New York’s past and the present, and make tangible the social and cultural diversity of this extraordinary place." —Times Literary Supplement "26 maps of New York that prioritize bachata over Broadway, pho over pizza." —Wired.com One of Publishers Weekly's 20 Big Indie Books of 2016—Publishers Weekly“I am thrilled to have another book-object in this series, as I devoured the San Francisco volume when I was there, and the New Orleans one likewise. Now finally here is one about the town where I live. The format, with the maps, networks, and accompanying stories and histories, is a lovely, nonlinear way of mirroring the almost infinite layers that make up a city. We all have our own mental maps of our cities and the ones we visit—maps that are, like the ones here, historical, musical, temporal, personal, economic, and geographical. The maps in Nonstop Metropolis are a good approximation of how we New Yorkers experience and perceive the city we live in.”—David Byrne “Put your map apps and your GPS away, because none of those high-tech innovations will lead you to the immense satisfaction that this hard-to-put-down book is full of. The unique, clever, and artistic maps give you the who, what, when, and, most importantly, where of loads of unusual and little-known New York City histories. As a New York City native I finally have all the maps I need to the treasures and secrets of my hometown.”—Fab 5 Freddy “A new way to think about the cultural and political life of cities.”—Randy Kennedy, New York Times “Solnit, well known for her writing on politics, art and feminism, has turned her attention to New York City’s complexities in Nonstop Metropolis, the third of her trilogy of atlases and accompanying exhibitions.”—Alex Rayner, The Guardian Selected praise for Infinite City and Unfathomable City “A thought-inducing collection of maps that will challenge your view of what atlases can be.”—Kevin Winter, San Francisco/Sacramento/Portland Book Review “A deeply illuminating assemblage of maps and essays.”—Lynell George, Chicago Tribune “Inventive and affectionate.”—Lise Funderburg, New York Times Book Review “Brilliantly disorients our native sense of place.”—Jonathon Keats, San Francisco Magazine “With Unfathomable City, Solnit and Snedeker have produced an idiosyncratic, luminous tribute to the greatest human creation defined by its audience participants: the city itself.”—Daniel Brook, New York Times

David Miklos y Francisco Goldman hablan sobre "Escribir en llamas", diálogo que fue publicado en la edición de diciembre de 2014 de Letras Libres para tabletas. http://www.letraslibres.com/blogs/polifonia/escribir-en-llamas-0?page=full

“Detrás de las páginas” es un recorrido mensual por un nuevo número de Letras Libres. Nuestro dossier de diciembre lleva por título “Democracia”. Seguimos a Churchill: la democracia es el menos malo de los sistemas políticos. Pero no se trata de comparar ventajosamente a la democracia con otros sistemas sino de enfrentarla a sus propias insuficiencias. Y no son pocas. Estas se traducen en un profundo malestar que puede derivar (lo hizo ya en Venezuela, podría ocurrir en España o México) en despertares populistas. Nos propusimos revelar algunos de los males de la democracia, para pensarla, para mejorarla, para encontrar opciones.

Aug. 30, 2014. Francisco Goldman appears at the 2014 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. Speaker Biography: Francisco Goldman is an author of fiction and nonfiction who has contributed to the literary world through his work as a novelist, a notable journalist published in The New York Times and a professor. In his 2011 Prix Femina-winning autobiographical book, "Say Her Name," Goldman wrote about his wife Aura Estrada's tragic death and their relationship.

“Maria Venegas is a transfixing writer. Her voice is tough, vulnerable, humorous, insightful and always rousingly alive. American readers have rarely encountered a depiction of Mexican lives so true, unsentimental, and moving as in this emotionally complex story of an Americanized young woman and her outlaw father who lives by the hard violent codes of Mexico profundo.” —Francisco Goldman, author of Say Her Name The Avid Reader Show is sponsored by Wellington Square Bookshop.

It's Not Love, It's Just Paris (Grove Press) Join us as Patricia Engel reads from her debut novel It's Not Love, It's Just Paris, a vibrant, wistful narrative about an American girl in Paris, who navigates the intoxicating and treacherous complexities of independence, friendship, and romance. Lita del Cielo, the daughter of two Colombian orphans who arrived in America with nothing and made a fortune with their Latin food empire, has been granted one year to pursue her studies in Paris before she must return to work in the family business. She moves into a gently crumbling Left Bank mansion known as “The House of Stars,” where a spirited but bedridden Countess Séraphine rents out rooms to young women visiting Paris to work, study, and, unofficially, to find love. Cautious and guarded, Lita keeps a cool distance from the other girls, who seem at once boldly adult and impulsively naïve, who both intimidate and fascinate her. Then Lita meets Cato, and the contours of her world shift. Charming, enigmatic, and weak with illness, Cato is the son of a notorious right-wing politician. As Cato and Lita retreat to their own world, they soon find it difficult to keep the outside world from closing in on theirs. Ultimately Lita must decide whether to stay in France with Cato or return home to fulfill her immigrant family's dreams for her future. Praise for Patricia Engel: “With unsparing psychological precision . . . Engel has fashioned . . . an arresting voice: immediate, unsentimental, and disarmingly direct.”–Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Patricia Engel's short story collection, Vida, a The New York Times 100 Notable Books of the Year, established her as one of this country's best young writers, winning praise from Junot Díaz, Uzodinma Iweala, Francisco Goldman, and others. She has been widely published and has won numerous awards, including the Boston Review Fiction Prize.  She lives and teaches in Miami, Florida.
