Fortunately, I grew up in a home where there were lots of books. My parents were enthusiastic readers, and I guess that habit was quite catching. I studied English at the University of La Plata in the 1970s and graduated as an English Language and English Literature teacher. I had Seguir leyendo
“We don’t hate journalists enough”, said Javier Milei recently. Critical journalists and reporters are described by him as the “new caste.” They are “the enemy” in his eyes. I find it hard to link the President’s constant hateful attack on the press with “The Forces of Heaven” he advocates. Is Seguir leyendo
“I want to announce that we have ended our relationship with Javier Milei. I have decided to end it and he has too. This is mutual; we are perfectly fine, in perfect terms, but we have made this decision with dignity, fortitude, and maturity,” announced Amalia González on her daily Seguir leyendo
For some strange reason we, humans who are still alive, tend to praise anyone who has died, no matter what we used to think of him or her right before. We don’t dare keep our previous critical opinion, as if it were a capital sin or a highway to Hell. Seguir leyendo
From time to time, a movie, a play or a TV show, or a piece of news, triggers a global and healthy discussion about really important issues. Now it’s the turn of the Netflix series «Adolescence», which has given us plenty of food for thought. That stage in life has Seguir leyendo

For some strange reason (maybe influenced by Virginia Woolf’s stream of consciousness technique), I’ve linked Maradona’s and Gene Hackman’s deaths. Both celebrities, both millionaires, yet both died alone, abandoned to their fate. Prosecutors have described Maradona’s final days as the “horror theatre”. Disorder, no medical items in his untidy bedroom, Seguir leyendo
On April 2, 2013, my city La Plata was flooded. Daniel Scioli was Buenos Aires Province governor at the time. We still don’t know for sure how many people died. Many platenses lost absolutely everything. Now, Bahía Blanca. The current governor: Axel Kicillof. A devastated city, 16 people dead and Seguir leyendo
Good manners are conspicuous by their absence in the Milei administration. And we all know the fish rots from the head down. Who’s the head? President Milei (same as Trump) is quite fond of hate speech, and calls people who dare criticise him: rats, crooks, eco- phonies, mandrills, parasites, microphone Seguir leyendo
