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 Our conversation ranges a bit to include other authors from “el Boom,” contemporary Spanish-language writers, and a GoodReads reading group focused on Latin American literature. (Currently members are reading ) And we end with our new “Rants & Raves” segment, which allows Tom a good space to get things off his chest.

This week’s music is a by Joan Jett The Blackhearts. You’ve never heard it before.
