Thanks for thinking of me @jose-eduardo.bsky.social ! I'm also hard at work on another book that looks at how international publishing firms directed their energies toward Latin America, what kinds of strategies they employed, and which areas they targeted to forge collaborative alliances.

I'm incredibly honored to be selected, as one of 11 teams, for a 2026 @schmidtsciences.bsky.social HAVI Development Award. I'll be working with the brilliant @mariaa.bsky.social and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social on Borges, generative AI, imaginary books, and many things in between. An absolute dream!

@davidbessis.bsky.social 's recent episode on Russ Roberts' EconTalk is extraordinary. www.econtalk.org/a-mind-blowi... . I highly recommend it to anyone in *any* field of study.

I cannot wait to read his book _Mathematica_, especially since I already see so much of Borges baked in there.

These are all amazing projects, and well deserved. But yet again, the ACLS only awards projects on Latin America by historians. No one from a Spanish dept in sight. πŸ™„

Today I am filled with gratitude that this book went from being an idea to an object that exists in the real world. Last evening I finally got my copies and I would like to highlight a couple of the chapters in it 🧡
