Thanks a lot for this.

It'...<b>SweetTalkingGuy</b><br />Thanks a lot for this.<br /><br /><b>Jim</b><br />It's not at all what I would call a South American novel. It's set in S America, so that's the backdrop, but it's basically the story of a family - Kahlo an Rivera's - that gives succour to an on-the-run Trotsky, which brings J Edgar Hoover in on the act and makes it much more of an America / Russia clash than a S American story.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-49232940962551916542011-04-29T10:32:43.056+01:002011-04-29T10:32:43.056+01:00No, Dave, I read it on this post by Jennifer Trink...No, Dave, I read it on <a href="http://www.writingtosurvive.com/files/wish_engine.php" rel="nofollow">this post</a> by Jennifer Trinkle. If you’ve not checked out her site this is a good place to start. Not sure about the Barbara Kingsolver novel though. I’m not a great lover of South American culture. I saw a good documentary about Frida Kahlo and I also saw Salma Hayek portray her in the 2002 film so I’m probably familiar with a lot of the source material anyway.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-15096613589573732752011-04-29T09:45:44.506+01:002011-04-29T09:45:44.506+01:00Wonderful words!

Totally agree with you about the pleasures of learning new words. As for "Lacunae", did you come across reading the book of that name (well, lacuna, in fact), the Barbara Kingsolver novel about the aftermath of the Mexican revolution, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Lev Trotsky and others? I read it some time back. If you haven't, I think you probably should. I think you would enjoy it. I thought it the the most compelling book I've read in years.<br /><br /><b>anthonynorth</b><br />Much thanks for that.<br /><br /><b>Gerry</b><br />Thanks. Yes, I'm a great fan of his also. There's so much material there.<br /><br /><b>flaubert</b><br />Thanks Pam.<br /><br /><b>Mad Kane</b><br />Thanks.

New to me in any case, 'limn' - what a great word (I discovered 'lacunae' only a couple of days ago) - and isn't it amazing how much pleasure we can get from such a discovery?<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
