I'm overwhelmed today by this more than 700-pp. volume that reminds me how much Elena Delgado is missed. Co-editor Eduardo Ledesma brilliantly saw this book through to the finish line in difficult times. My contribution on the history of Spanish Cultural Geography here: doi.org/10.4324/9780...

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

'The Politics of Food & Hunger in Spanish Literature, 1945–2015', by Deborah Madden @Lancaster University
In Franco's Spain, food & hunger were politicized and its ‘hunger years’ (1939–1952) pervade Spanish fiction... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge & emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf.
