La Bloga: Chicano/Latino Literary LA In Words and Photos

“I haven’t yet begun counting the days until I retire from the world of work, but I have dusted off my list of long-delayed projects with serious assessment of priorities. Which will come first? The backtracking of the Aristotlelian tradition from the California Mission libraries back to Spain? Retranslating Aristotle for the modern student? A rhetoric of schemes and tropes drawn from chicana chicano writing as a way to interest our kids in writing?

Two of those for sure–my Greek will never lose its rust, so no new translation. First Ill bring to life a project combining two of my favorite past times, reading chicana chicano literature, and photography. I dont know what Ill call it, but its to be a book of photos illustrating evocative passages about the Los Angeles region from, principally, novels written for or about chicanos and latinos.”
