Dr. Ana Uribe Sandoval started reading classics as a little girl, and she never stopped reading. She treats us to a beautiful reading in Spanish, and to a warm plea for putting down your phone and opening a book, which we can only wholeheartedly agree with. 

Ana brought these books:

Louisa May Alcott: Little Women – Julio Cortázar: Rayuela / Hopscotch – Bell Hooks: All about love

We also talked about:

Quino: Mafalda – Julio Cortázar: Historias de cronopios y de famas – Oliver Sacks: The man who mistook his wife for a hat and Oaxaca Journal 

Ana’s recommendations:

Bell Hooks: The will to change

Reading more Latin-American female authors!

Antonio Ortuño – De verschroeiden

Bernardo Fernández: Zwart ijs

The work of Valeria Luiselli
