México: Terremoto telúrico político
El día de nuestra partida de México, el 19 de septiembre de 2005, era el vigésimo aniversario de un enorme desastre que fue en gran parte el comienzo de la transformación política que sigue en marcha en ese país. No hay mejor testimonio de ello que el magnífico libro de Elena Poniatowska de 1988, re-editado en edición de bolsillo para este triste aniversario. Aquí les ofrezco una nota sobre Nada, nadie. Las voces del temblor de Elena Poniatowska.

- Geoffrey Fox
- Geoffrey Fox's short story collection Welcome to My Contri (1988, enlarged e-book 2010) was described by The New York Times Book Review as a "short and impressive work" in which "Mr. Fox [...] has created a memorable set of players who, while not natural antagonists (they often share the same dreams and goals), are still somehow bent on confrontation. Watching their sometimes vicious, often darkly humorous interactions leaves us thoroughly wrung out and aware that we are in the presence of a formidable new writer". Novels: A Gift for the Sultan (2010), Rabble! (2022) His articles, op-eds and book reviews have appeared in The Nation, The New York Times, the Village Voice and other publications. Since 2008, Fox has been living with his partner, architect Susana Torre, on the edge of the Mediterranean in the village of Carboneras in Andalusia, Spain, where his short stories (in Spanish) under the pen name "Baltasar Lotroyo" ("el otro yo" = alter ego in Spanish) have appeared in anthologies and online publications.
