OK, that's a totally lame way to try and combine the two main topics of this week's podcast: Gabriel García Marquez, and the awful amazingness of the NY Times Style section article on soccer's popularity in creative circles. Our conversation ranges a bit to include other authors from "el Boom," contemporary Spanish-language writers, and Beyond the Pampas, a GoodReads reading group focused on Latin American literature. (Currently members are reading "Felisberto Hernández's Piano Stories.) And we end with our new "Rants & Raves" segment, which allows Tom a good space to get things off his chest.
