About Me |
|
| I'm a writer. I'm the author of Philosophical Toys, Cuentos Rojos (Red Tales), Souvenirs del Accidente and Borgesland (my PhD on Borges and imaginary spaces). I write in English now, I used to write in Spanish, my native language. By chance, I made a short film, Buñuel's Philosophical Toys, which has turned out to be a bit of a fetish (you can watch it below or check my blog). I have my own website, with work in both languages and in translation. My MySpace site is still in its baby days. In the meanwhile, you might want to dive into: www.susanamedina.net |

I'd like to meet:I'd Like to Meet:God, to get an idea as to what all this is about! And Borges, Walt Whitman, David Lynch or people who'd like to meet Borges, Walt Whitman, David Lynch. This is the Borges's tree we did at the House of Fairy Tales, Port Eliot Lit Fest, July 07 Buñuel’s Philosophical Toys .. Add to My Profile | More Videos I received a message yesterday from Sandragone, while I was having a pint of Stella Artois. He said he was really interested in Borges. When I got up this morning, I looked in the mirror and I had become this weird morph of Borges and me. Unsettling as I find it, I must say there are worse things in life. THE SIDE-EFFECTS OF READING, 14th December 07 Image from my story 'A retinal tattoo of light': A millisecond divides life from death. Or is it an attosecond? Or a femtosecond? The beheaded lose consciousness in two seconds, if the blade cuts through the neck in one go. The brain has enough oxygen stored for metabolism to persist for seven seconds after the head is cut off: the eyes flicker, the mouth might still move. On the 16th November 1880 , Edhard Gustav Reif was decapitated in Heidelberg. His wife had died and he had killed his two sons, perhaps an act of desperation. If the future didn’t exist for him, it didn’t exist for his children either. (...) in The Shutter of Death by Derek Ogbourne This is my husband |

Books:Every book is an encounter. Like all encounters, timing, predisposition and a certain openness are prerequisites for the encounter to succeed. Different writers have left a trace or made an impact at different times in my life. These are, I would say, the main traces or impacts, so far:Borges, J.G Ballard, Marguerite Duras, Angela Carter, Kathy Acker, Deborah Levy, Beckett, Paul Auster, Walt Whitman, Italo Calvino, Julio Cortazar, Fernando Pessoa, Peter Handke, Octavio Paz, Jean Baudrillard, Iain Sinclair ... And then, there are so many other worlds I have enjoyed.And then there is Dante (Inferno and Purgatory are the first surreal masterpieces, amazing images and metaphors), Swift (I love Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels), Cervantes (Don Quixote is an old friend), William Burroughs (for a reality check), Sylvia Plath, Roland Barthes, Stanislav Lem, Plotinus, Kafka, Juan Goytisolo, George Orwell, Mary Gaistkill, Yasunari Kawabata, Milan Kundera, Rafa Reig, Will Self and sometimes, Don Delillo, Cees Nooteboom, Michel Houellebecq ... And then, I'd like to read, when I have the time: James Flint, Tom McCarthy, Paul Ewen, Hari Kunzru and more of Toby Litt. |

Heroes:No heroes, no heroines ... Maybe Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Derek Ogbourne and Pippi Langstrumpf, my childhood heroine. |
