Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

"ENTERTAINMENT" FROM EL PAIS IN ENGLISH This week’s movie releases 07-01-2011.



Directed by Iciar Bollain (Take My Eyes) and scripted by her partner Paul Laverty (better known as Ken Loach’s regular screenwriter), the artfully provocative Even the Rain is Spain’s entry for the 2011 Best Foreign Language Oscar. Set in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 2000, against the backdrop of riots over the privatization of the local watersupply , it stars Luis Tosar (Cell 211) and Gael García Bernal (Y Tu Mamá También) as a producer and director filming a historical epic about the brutality of gold-thirsty conquistadors.
More concerned with finishing their movie than acknowledging the present-day abuses surrounding them, the right-on filmmakers also have to compete with an activist main actor (Juan Carlos Aduviri) liable to get locked up.. Issuing a challenge to political complacency that’s rare in its directness, the movie’s film-within-a-filmstructure richly resonates with historical parallels. (.....) From el País in English (07-01-2011).
