So I know that an English-language translation of Beatriz Sarlo's Una modernidad periférica exists. I've assigned it in my graduate classes before, I'm pretty certain. It's just that I always tell them to read it in the original if they can and they always can. But this semester I have a student who can't read Spanish taking my seminar, and she told me that she couldn't find a translation anywhere, and you know, I spent some time this evening looking for one, and I can't find it either. So - do you know if it ever was translated? Or have I just been smoking crack again?

I have personally never seen this work in either French or English. I have read about the work in both languages. Did you try amazon.com?

It isn't in WorldCat (LC database), either, dammit. Are you sure that a chapter hasn't been translated and that's what you're remembering?

Oh, yeah, WorldCat was the first third or fourth place I looked. I might never have seen it in English, since my copy is in Spanish, but I know I haven't seen it in chapter or article form in English.

That doesn't sound like crack. You've probably been smoking opium.

Yeah, that must be it.

Hey, what's your preferred email address these days? I need to ask you about a project I'm working on that I would like to get you embroiled with ...

Ooo... embroiled....you can use the same as always, or I will send you the new one. Either one is good.

BTW, I got the book covers! Thanks for the exuberant praise!

Whoo! Book covers! Do they look good? Send me the new email, wouldja?

And de nada, really. It's a great book.
