'El verano de Cervantes' es el último libro de Antonio Muñoz Molina (Seix Barral)  y nos lo ha presentando en la biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy. El autor nos lleva a sus lecturas veraniegas del gran clásico de las letras españolas. Es un libro que lee desde niño y a través de sus lecturas nos cuenta episodios de su vida y la relación de Don Quijote de la Mancha con la cultura española y universal. También nos descubre como es un libro donde siempre es verano, solo llueve una vez  o que Cervantes nunca describe el paisaje. Un ensayo apasionante en el que siempre que te pones frente a una obra de Antonio Muñoz Molina aprendes, y no sólo de literatura. Más allá de 'El verano de Cervantes' nos regalo otros dos libros para nuestras estanterías: 'Middlemarch' de George Eliot (Alba Editorial) y 'Antología poética' de Vicent Andrés Estellés (Visor).  Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo tres libros que relaciona con la crisis de la inmigración en Estados Unidos : 'Genealogía' de María Teresa Andruetto y Santiago Guevara (Libros del zorro rojo) , 'Americanah' de Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche (Random House) y 'Solito' de Javier Zamora ( Random House).

In this month's Book Club episode, we're discussing Solito by Javier Zamora, a powerful memoir that chronicles his journey as a nine year old traveling alone from El Salvador to the United States. With vivid detail and emotional clarity, Zamora recounts the two-month trek that took him across borders, through deserts, and into the hands of strangers—some kind, some dangerous—all with the hope of reuniting with his parents on the other side.   We discuss the emotional weight of Zamora's story, the beauty of his writing, and the way his experience speaks to the resilience of young people navigating unimaginably difficult circumstances. Tune in to hear our thoughts, a few favorite quotes, and recommendations for other powerful reads to pair with this unforgettable memoir.   Let us know what you thought about this one!

Buon venerdì santo per noi laici, Stupefan! Non risorge Gesù, ma la pruderie dei giornali per l'equivoco che "Io e la mia signorina", celeberrima canzone di Neffa, aveva creato: l'artista, infatti, esce dal sepolcro e torna al rap, ma i San Tommaso sanno che se mettono il dito nella piaga della droga il clickbaiting è assicurato. Chi ci ascolta, però, lo sa che ci sono ben altre piaghe in cui nessuno mette il dito. Una su tutte, la sistemica e reiterata violazione delle norme da parte dello Stato e dei suoi apparati: l'abbiamo visto la scorsa settimana, nelle reazioni fuorilegge dei poliziotti nell'intervenire per interrompere un free party e nelle immagini di violenza esercitate su persone inermi e con le mani alzate, ma anche sulle automobili e i furgoni. C'è anche un'ultima pesante piaga che ci stritola, quella della narrazione del mercato nero degli stupefacenti e del tono rassegnato che caratterizza ogni inchiesta sul narcotraffico e che non ha spiragli di speranza perché l'unica cosa che può fare è riportare il fallimento del proibizionismo e l'assenza di soluzioni alternative alla repressione. Ma come sempre, per resistere a tutto questo, ci siamo qui noi, al play!Note dell'episodio:- Il corriere, Neffa, la mia signorina: https://www.corriere.it/spettacoli/25_aprile_13/neffa-il-ritorno-nessuno-aveva-capito-che-la-mia-signorina-era-dedicata-alla-marijuana-e-i-fan-mi-massacrarono-cf50c78d-7f83-46a8-836e-14a1cde18xlk.shtml- Il rave di Torino: https://www.ilpost.it/2025/04/13/rave-scontri-torino-polizia/- Rave e repressione: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIZOz5HCgSh/?igsh=eG91MmN2eDByajhr- Arrestami, cosa mi manganelli l'auto: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIY_tqFCTgA/?igsh=cmV6eXBnMWE0ZGNv- La mappa dello spaccio a Torbella: https://roma.repubblica.it/cronaca/2025/04/13/news/tor_bella_monaca_roma_droga_spaccio_blitz_reportage-424124481/- Newsroom e l'inchiesta sulla droga: https://www.rai.it/ufficiostampa/assets/template/us-articolo.html?ssiPath=/articoli/2025/04/Newsroom-inchieste-e-reportage-sul-mercato-della-droga-ecced5d3-edf6-498f-90f8-6558bc49fd22-ssi.htmlEntra in contatto con noi usando la mail stupefatticast@gmail.com o seguendo su Instagram il @stupefatti_podcast! Puoi anche iscriverti a STUPEGRAM, il nostro canale telegram, a questo link https://t.me/stupegram!

La rassegna stampa di oggi, venerdì 14 marzo, è a cura di Ylenia Sina.Di cosa parliamo:- La sospensione da parte del Tar del Lazio della gara di affidamento di 31 concessioni balneari a Ostia.  - L'arresto di Antonio Micarelli, il vigilante di 56 anni che il 6 febbraio scorso ha ucciso a colpi di pistola Antonio Ciurciumel, un giovane di 24 anni che con altre persone aveva appena terminato una tentata rapina in un appartamento sulla Cassia. Secondo il gip non sarebbe stata legittima difesa. - Il progetto del Parco inclusivo universale a Parco Shuster, vicino alla basilica di San Paolo, il "sogno" fortemente voluto dall'associazione Tetrabondi "di trasformare lo spazio urbano esistente per renderlo accessibile, fruibile, attraversabile da ogni tipo di vulnerabilità e desiderio". - La raccolta differenziata romana ferma al 50% per cento secondo i dati del report Anci-Conai. - Ancora cemento su Roma e i "signori delle gru" pronti a costruire oltre un milione di metri quadri di cemento nei prossimi anni sfruttando i diritti edificatori delle compensazioni.Sveja è un progetto sostenuto da Periferiacapitale, il programma per Roma della Fondazione Charlemagne.Ringraziamo inoltre l'associazione A Sud che ci mette a disposizione i propri spazi per le riunioni di redazione.La sigla di Sveja è di Mattia Carratello.Fotografia di Luca Dammicco

As a 9-year-old boy, Javier Zamora traveled over 3,000 miles to be with his parents, who had fled El Salvador to live and work in the United States. Zamora traveled with a group of people who were initially strangers and the various people they paid to help them survive the two month journey. Zamora’s memoir about the experience, “Solito,” is the choice for Multnomah County’s ‘Everybody Reads’ program in 2025. We talk to Zamora in front of students at Portland’s McDaniel High School.

Every year, the Multnomah County Library chooses one book they hope the whole city of Portland will read. Between January and April, the Library, and their partner organizations, host events based around the themes of the book, and they distribute thousands of free copies—thanks to the Library Foundation—to readers of all ages from across the county. Here at Literary Arts, our role is to bring the author to town for a talk in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.   This year, the 2025 Everybody Reads selection is the memoir Solito by Javier Zamora. For information about how to engage with the program, visit the Multnomah County Library's web site. I am thrilled to say Javier Zamora will be in Portland on Tuesday, March 11 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for the culminating event of the 2025 Everybody Reads Program.   For now, let's return to the 2024 Everybody Reads event, featuring Gabrielle Zevin and her novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.   Gabrielle Zevin has been steadily publishing fiction for almost two decades and has also written occasional criticism as well as award-winning screenplays. But it was Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow that catapulted her to the stratosphere of literary stardom. It was a #1 New York Times bestseller and spent over 50 weeks on the fiction bestseller list.    To be sure, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is about video games, and makes a convincing argument for the power and potential of narrative storytelling in video games. But really, it is about making art, and questions about originality, appropriation, and ambition that come with that pursuit. And perhaps more so, it is a love story, about friends and creative partners, and the excitement, joy, tragedy, and betrayal that come with any long relationship. It's about something, I'd wager, we've all been thinking about the past few years: connection.    Tickets for Everybody Reads 2025 with Javier Zamora are on sale now! Find your tickets here.  Gabrielle Zevin is a New York Times best-selling novelist whose books have been translated into forty languages.   Her tenth novel, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, was a New York Times Best Seller, a Sunday Times Best Seller, and a selection of the Tonight Show's Fallon Book Club. Tomorrow was Amazon.com's #1 Book of the Year, Time Magazine's #1 Book of the Year, a New York Times Notable Book, and the winner of both the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction and the Book of the Month Club's Book of the Year. Following a twenty-five-bidder auction, the feature film rights to Tomorrow were acquired by Temple Hill and Paramount Studios.  The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry also spent many months on the New York Times Best Seller List. A.J. Fikry was honored with the Southern California Independent Booksellers Award for Fiction, the Japan Booksellers' Prize, among other honors. A.J. Fikry is now a feature film with a screenplay by Zevin. She has also written children's books, including the award-winning Elsewhere.   She is the screenwriter of Conversations with Other Women (Helena Bonham Carter) for which she received an Independent Spirit Award Nomination for Best First Screenplay. She has occasionally written criticism for the New York Times Book Review and NPR's All Things Considered, and she began her writing career, at age fourteen, as a music critic for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. Zevin is a graduate of Harvard University. She lives in Los Angeles.

At age 14, Luz Hernandez left her home country of Honduras to cross the border into the U.S. She was fleeing poverty, sexual abuse, and medical malpractice. The journey was traumatic; so was making a new start in the U.S. In the second episode of our two-part series created with Voice of Witness, host Maya Rupert talks to Luz about grit and determination, hope and belonging, and why hearing directly from immigrants is crucial to understanding the immigrant experience. This episode is created in partnership with Voice of Witness, an oral history nonprofit that advances human rights by amplifying the stories of people impacted by—and fighting against—injustice. To learn more, visit voiceofwitness.org. You can read Luz's full story in the Voice of Witness book “Solito, Solita,” along with the powerful oral histories of fourteen other youth refugees from Central America.

Solito, tells the story of author Javier Zamora's migration journey from El Salvador to the United States. Zamora traveled unaccompanied at the age of 9 years old.

Immigration remains a hot-button in American politics, but Javier Zamora tells the story of his own entry into the United States—a journey and a story that put a human face on the issue.    Zamora is the author of “SOLITO,” his New York Times bestselling memoir and is the 2024 Reading Across Rhode Island Selection. Born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990, his parents fled the country due to the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War from 1980-1992. Zamora was raised by his grandparents until the age of nine when he began his nine-week odyssey to Arizona. His memoir recounts the perilous journey. He is the author of a poetry collection entitled, “Unaccompanied.” He holds fellowships from CantoMundo, Colgate University, MacDowell, Macondo, the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Foundation, Stanford University and Yaddo. He is the recipient of a 2017 Lannan Literary Fellowship, the 2017 Narrative Prize and the 2016 Barnes & Noble Writer for Writers Award for his work in the Undocupoets Campaign. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Write-minded wades into the important topic of writing about childhood trauma. Trauma is at the heart of many of our stories, whether you're writing coming-of-age or only touching upon childhood stories in the context of specific memoir scenes (or raw material for fiction). Javier's memoir, Solito, is a stunning book about his nine-week journey from El Salvador to the US as an unaccompanied minor when he was just nine years old. The original journey nearly killed him, and in this generous interview he speaks to how the journey of writing about his experience saved him. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Beyond the Page, recorded live at the 2023 conference, poet and memoirist Javier Zamora talks to legendary bookseller Mitchell Kaplan about his memoir Solito, which chronicles his experiences traveling from El Salvador to the United States, by himself, when he was 9 years old. Javier Zamora writes, and speaks, like someone who believes he can never afford to forget that journey, or the experience on the other side, in America, of growing up undocumented. You won't be able to forget, either. And that is the power of great literature. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Javier Zamora is a writer who believes he has a particular responsibility: to understand and also change the world through words. He comes from a tradition of poets in El Salvador who used poetry to denounce injustices, the “Generación Comprometida,” and his personal experience of migrating as a child alone to the United States has shaped his worldview. In his work, Javier has shared some of the most intimate and difficult moments of his own history, first in the award-winning poetry collection “Unaccompanied” and then in the New York Times best-selling memoir “Solito.” In this intimate conversation, Javier shares what it was like to return to those painful episodes in his writing, the complicated relationship he has with El Salvador, and what he hopes the role of poets and writers could be in these turbulent times.

Javier Zamora is a renowned Salvadoran poet, author and activist. When he was just 9 years old, he emigrated from El Salvador to the U.S. to reunite with his parents, who were already there. His memoir "Solito" details this harrowing solo journey away from a war-torn country and into one where home always felt far away. Zamora is the first Salvadoran author to make the New York Times bestsellers list. Jenna Bush Hager spoke to Javier about his memoir “Solito”, a recent Read with Jenna pick, and what it means to tell his story now. Follow the ‘Read with Jenna' podcast now to hear new episodes every week. And the fun doesn't stop here!

Jean Carroll Case; “Solito”: Salvadoran Writer Javier Zamora Details His Solo 4,000-Mile Journey to U.S. as a 9-Year-Old

On April 6, 1999 Javier Zamora woke at dawn. He put on the clothes his grandparents had laid out for him: A dark blue dress shirt, dark blue jeans, a black belt, black dress shoes. Nearby sat his backpack–it held his toiletries and more black clothing. The backpack was also black. Everything had to be dark, that was what the Coyote had told them. In his new memoir, Solito, Javier Zamora recounts his three-thousand mile journey from a small fishing village in El Salvador to the United States. He made the trip alone, without family, relying on the help of strangers. He was just nine years old.
