Washing Dishes in the Dark

Dr. David Fialkoff, Editor / Publisher

Excerpts:

Is the cigarette smoker, who showers and changes their clothes twice daily, clean? Having performed human dissection, I can attest that smokers' lungs are gray with soot.

Howard Hughes was peculiar. Towards the end of his life his strangeness became legendary. He would take the label off and repeatedly wash a can of food before opening it.

"This Is Not Miami": The Dirty Realism of Fernanda Melchor

by Philip Gambone

Excerpts:

"this bullshit fucking country where a lie has a better chance of being proven in court than the truth itself, and where in the end the winner is whoever tells the biggest lie."

The Italian Cafes of Greenwich Village

by Keith Miller, text and art

Excerpts:

The southern part of New York's Greenwich Village was predominately Italian in the early 1900's. It was, naturally home to many small businesses, including traditional Italian coffee houses.

In my days wandering around Manhattan in the late 70's and 80's I was lucky enough to get to know a few of those cafes which were still surviving.

A New York style deli in San Miguel

by Don Day

Excerpts:

The menu is big... no make that huge... with 15 different sandwiches to choose from. A tough choice for some but not for me. Pastrami or brisket? Brisket or pastrami?

If you have memories of the Carnegie in New York, Shopsy's in Toronto, or Bens in Montreal, you’ll know the size of a smoked meat sandwich is super important. My Deli District sandwich was huge.

Lavando los platos a oscuras

¿Es limpio el fumador de cigarrillos que se ducha y se cambia de ropa dos veces al día? Habiendo realizado disecciones humanas, puedo dar fe de que los pulmones de los fumadores están grises de hollín.

Howard Hughes era peculiar. Hacia el final de su vida, su extrañeza se hizo legendaria. Quitaba la etiqueta y lavaba repetidamente una lata de comida antes de abrirla.

“Esto no es Miami”: El realismo sucio de Fernanda Melchor

por Philip Gambone

Extractos:

“...el Estado de derecho de mierda en el que vivimos, en donde una mentira tiene más posibilidades de convertirse en verdad jurídica que la misma verdad, y al final gana el que engorda más su mentira”.

No lea este libro si quiere limitar su conocimiento de México a las vistas turísticas de postal. Pero si desea saber más sobre la complejidad cultural y social de México, Esto no es Miami puede ser un buen punto de partida.
