hahaha I’m not a big fan of awards, tbh. sure do understand their importance, but… just not into it. such a shame we dont have any translated book of hers here — which you’d assume there’d be after her pulitzer. truth is: nobody knows her here.

I know! I know! hahahahh Since Argentina is in the news… when you made that comment about awards — it made me think of something in *The Rigor of Angels* about the speculation that Jorge Luis Borges was denied a literary award due to his association with a controversial politician — have to look it up later. Maybe you know?! Sorry no Rita Dove translations— hope that changes.
he supported the military dictatorship in argentina, at first, but mainly due to his horror of communism (which is not that hard to understand being a homo sapiens in latam — ernesto sabato also did it then, and nowadays we have vargas llosa, who supported milei). later on, though, he signed this public letter demanding an answer from the government about the missing argentinos. dunno. all I know is that I won’t stop reading ezra pound as well, lol. 
aw, forgot bout nelson rodrigues, brazilian most notorious playwright, who also supported 1964 military dictatorship. the man is a monster (in the best possible sense).
