1. Incredible post by Derek White on “travel writing,” specifically Crawford, Zornoza, and Lopez.
2. If it’s not already, Kate Zambreno’s blog Frances Farmer Is My Sister should be in your feed. A feast.
3. This $10k for disappearing challenge sounds like the one to sign up for.

      I really like the article on Crawford. I read the Deb Olin Unferth’s interview with him, which was good. Interesting guy. I like what he said here:

      “Learning another language also enables you to impersonate being a completely different person, a useful exercise for a writer.”

      And it’s not just in learning. It’s when you gain the fluency to think and write and practically create an completely new personality. I am different when conversing or thinking in Spanish, than in English. It’s fun to play at, anyway.

      Thanks for this. I’ll be checking out those books.
