< What was the last book you read?
I recently learned of Ernst Jünger. I was reading about Octavio Paz, the 1991 Nobel Laureate in Literature. Following a series of links I came across a magazine article that featured some of his daughter's (Helena Garro Paz) letters to Jünger in the 70s. I ended up learning so much about the power dynamics between Mexico's government at the time and their censorship over the arts and literature. In her letters, Helena details incredibly shocking events such as threats and even the murder of Costa Rican poet Eunice Odio at the hands of President Echeverría.
