Are you the same Ed Tomlinson of Latin American fame?
Remember, somos muy pocos y hacemos bastante falta. There
is, of course, a whole new batch of young people interested in the region--but I still believe that we 'old hands' from the wire services and the NYT along with a small group of brethren from the academy have the necessary 'Fingerspitzgefuehl' as Tad Szulc used to say, for an 'in depth' understanding--and the necessary empathy. Which requires a love for literature and the arts--because it is through their culture that Latin Americans best communicate.
Cheers,
Henry Raymont
