Dear Mr. Velez,
Thank you for your web site. I have been gleaning information from it
for a summer class I am attending on Latin American Literature at
California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California.
On your page for Octavio Paz and Pedro Páramo is a quote from Carlos
Fuentes, “Death as a nostalgia for speech.”
I am curious to know of the origin of that quote and its reference? Any
correlation to Villaurrutia’s book Nostalgia for Death?
Thank you for your consideration.
Greg Silva
