A Conversation with Eduardo Galeano


One of the books I am reading right now is Eduardo Galeano's Children Of The Days-A Calendar of Human History . It is book which gives you reason to pause on numerous occasions as it beautifully mixes history with fiction, poetry and memoir.  The 365 little fragments that make up the book paint broad strokes ranging from imperialism to Hollywood, indigenous wisdom to the pharmaceutical industry. It is deeply engaging and poetic - the type of book one will take pleasure rereading countless times. Although it is arranged for each day of the year, this book of days is really for any day & there is much to absorb & reflect upon here. Great interview!
