In general people can always say what you feel. Of course not wrong notes in passing that travel as a tourist or newcomer to the city from other urban centers on the appearance and almost post-apocalyptic atmosphere of this city mainly to certain hours and on some days. A few months ago a Chilean poet who lives in Montreal and came for the first time Ottawa was paralogizada he said and repeated that he had not seen hardly anyone on the street on the way from where she was staying up here (the restaurant in my office I have installed interim retired) So it was Friday night and the hotel where he stayed is in the middle. The same Arturo Mendez-Roca, an occasional fellow traveler on this page that used to live in Baton Rouge in Louisiana and whose house disappeared in the floods a few years ago, when he laments over drinks that still can not get used here and is dreaming about moving to Montreal. But these same circumstances lead to a life and subcutaneous underground in certain enclaves or 'focus', as I call them according to Che Guevara and Regis Debray, authors and strategists of the popular struggle that I frequented in my distant youth. This place is such a lot of what might happen as the local bohemia, musicians playing in some restaurants, writers, mostly Latino, and of all ages and countries. For those who frequent this page that so graciously granted me a space from time to time and from time to time and read the works of these authors and find out about their activities, this is not so surprising. But they come also for example the Guagua L'Amore, Nana estriptseras Valpolicella and other central and minded women and girls and the circle, which now prefer to walk with students or intellectuals types appear that do no more, because it's the wave, to the despair of the gallants robust, muscular, leather jacket that no longer girl who is have a little consideration inflated by crude and lacking in class. That is the case of a girl very pert and pretty, who say that going to the fight, which even I, with my itantos canos well represented me has launched its courts, and that Latinos will say the land reform because, as the song said, "is anyway." She comes now with a Latin artist younger than she, who has just arrived in Canada and did a bit of scandal in his native country, which I will not mention, "not their style, rather conventional for my taste, but by the titles of his works at the time caused considerable controversy, as one that I comes to mind, "cat woman with a big ass." But this young man is actually quite practical, calculating, knows how advertising works and has studied literature, just the other day I mentioned that among all the Latin writers of my age (thanks for the writer), I was only that he did to the nostalgia, memory, etc. .. He asked if I had realized that not only at the level of the Latin writers in Canada, (and I ordered them to check this web page you have before your eyes, reader), but all parties and all ideas, that kind of literature was becoming more frequent, and said more or less verbatim in their own words and with many glasses that these efforts to recover the memory were actually a collective unconscious of the species to reverse the fourth dimension (time) for the chaotic state of things, kind of like doing a rewind time to try to delay the inevitable, the end of the world, in an effort contrary, opposite or complementary to the Apocalypse also in vogue. He also told me that the most serious ideology is hidden in the fiction, and more specifically in science fiction or fantasy. TED Klein I mentioned, I do not know but from what I heard, as Gustav Meyrink, which I know the pure novel The Green Face, and a brief text of the director of this magazine, literal Huidobro, who read out there. That night I went to my apartment mulling over this whole issue and muttered to myself, "What do you think cholito, what you think."
