‘My writer friends used to say: you’re writing Trainspotting in Comala’: An Interview with Mateo García Elizondo - Asymptote Blog When you're reading, you're always in that painful or uncomfortable present.

My interview with Mateo García Elizondo for Asymptote is out! We talked about translation, liminal spaces, Mexican Spanish, and his literary inspirations.

Curious to read more? @charcopress.com recently published the English translation of his debut novel, Una cita con la Lady.

Er zijn misschien weinig studenten die echt warm lopen voor Latijn, maar die verdienen een duwtje in de rug in plaats van scepticisme. Ars longa, vita brevis.

Lessen Latijn zijn in die zin ook lessen Nederlands: Als docent merk ik hoe moeilijk het is voor niet-Latinisten om de dt-regel te begrijpen. Dat is ook logisch, als je niet weet wat een persoonsvorm is. 🧵

Om het in de woorden van Stijn De Paepe te zeggen: niet alles wat geen nut heeft, heeft geen zin. Het vak Latijn weet op unieke wijze diepgaande taalanalyse, cultureel inzicht en geschiedenis te combineren. 🧵

Je wordt niet extra slim als je Latijn studeert: “Moeten verwachtingen van de richting bijschaven” Wie later dokter wil worden, studeert maar beter Latijn in het middelbaar, klinkt het nog vaak. Maar dat je van Latijn extra slim wordt, blijkt in de praktijk moeilijk hard te maken. Dat blijkt uit een nieuw grootschalig onderzoek bij 1.700 leerlingen.

Wat Latijnliefhebbers, -studenten en -docenten al jaren proberen duidelijk te maken: het nutsargument is niet van toepassing op Latijn. Dat is niet de schuld van het Latijn, wél van onze maatschappelijke obsessie met 'nut'. 🧵https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241125_96321943

A beautiful essay from Nick Cave on cynicism and hopefulness. “Hopefulness is not a neutral position either. It is adversarial.”

It’s #WorldPrematurityDay and a great time to re-share my essay on how one of my favorite #earlymodern poets helped me through my second NICU stay. Honored to have it chosen for the Nursing Clio Reader, out in September from Rutgers! Thanks to @nursingclio.bsky.social for giving my words a home.
