>As I mentioned yesterday, I am leaving today for Mexico, a trip that will include my writers’ workshop with Grace Paley (Under the Volcano). From experience, I know that little extra-curricular reading will happen during the workshop, but there are airplanes to and from, and bus rides, and the time before and after the actual weeklong workshop. So, here is what I am taking with me, in addition to Paley’s book of essays, Just as I Thought, the link for which I provided yesterday: Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glorry, Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano and the new Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel, Memoria de mis putas tristes (if only to see if I learned anything in my Spanish class during the past year).
