Panel

I was on a panel at NYU yesterday directed by Jo Labanyi and featuring Antonio Monegal, Andrés Soria Olmedo, and Paul Julian Smith. Smith and I shared the disdain for dumb readings of the duende. We all went to a Spanish restaurant later, with Laura García-Lorca (Lorca's niece) and some of the other staff of the King Juan Carlos Center and I didn't get to my hotel until 12:30 a.m. It was fun because I don't get to talk about Lorca in front of high-powered Lorca scholars very often, if at all.
