Another post...FINALLY!

Ok, ok, so it's been a while.

Why??? you might be asking yourselves.

Too many things going on right now, like looking for a job. Yep, I got laid off recently. Needless to say, it's been somewhat of a stressful time, but hey, like my pastor told me recently, "When a door closes, God always opens a window..."

But enough of that nonsense and on to Qiuvo...

I uploaded a Salarrue short story entitled "Buena Noche" (Christmas Eve) to the Qiuvo.com website. It is a wonderful story (a short-short, seriously, you can read it in five minutes) and you should all read it!

Don't read Spanish?

I have you covered. I was given permission to use an English translation by Dr. Janet N. Gold of the University of New Hampshire. Some of you may know that Dr. Gold is the author of "Sagatara Mio," a beautiful book about the amorous relationship between El Salvador's most famous author, Salarrue, and New York socialite Leonora Nichols. Unfortunately, it is currently only published in Spanish and available from MUPI (Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen, http://www.museo.com.sv) but I'm hoping that more people will find out about this wonderful book so that it can be published in English.

Anyway, please do yourselves a favor and acquaint yourselves with Salarrue.

Thank you all for visiting Qiuvo!
