True, one Beckett(etc) play after another, very tame, doesn't inspire action, but to dwell in morosity. Not action inspiring.

Growing ...You present an excellent case here, Alex. Growing up in Northern New Mexico where my ancestors settled in 1650, I've always had mixed emotions about Mexico. My parents were always quick to say that we're not "Mexican-American," we are "Spanish American," as though that made us somehow not quite as "less than" than was/is the common perception of Hispanics in New Mexico. As young children they were punished by their teachers (nuns) for speaking Spanish at school and thus received a distinct message which they passed on to their children by way of not teaching us to speak Spanish. <br /><br />Mexico is a like a hidden treasure whose rich and diverse heritage is finally being discovered. I applaud you and the Lark for mining it and sharing it with the NY community. I trust that "if you build it, they will come."Carol Lopeznoreply@blogger.com
