“La integración intelectual a un entorno ajeno tiene algo de naufragio.
Al aceptarlo, ¿se recusa todo lo anterior? No necesariamente.”
[Juan Villoro, De Cartago a Chiapas: crónica intempestiva]
“Intellectual integration in alien surroundings has elements of the
shipwreck. Does acceptance mean casting aside everything that went
before? Not necessarily.”
[Juan Villoro, From Carthage to Chiapas: An Untimely Chronicle]
