But the the reason why I put Enrique's question here is this question of how can everything be falling apart and yet the book feel full of possibility.
podcast-host
So this is what our second our second question for you comes in.
podcast-host
I'll just say that I think that humor is part of how you do that, but I think there are other things you're doing too.
podcast-host
And our our second question is from the Mexican writer and passed between the covers guest, Jasmina Barrera.
podcast-host
And Hasmina came on the show for her National Book Award, long-listed book, The Queen of Swords, about the writer Elena Garo.
podcast-host
A book which, like your books and Enrique's books, refuses easy categorization genre-wise.
podcast-host
This is what Eileen Miles, another paschist on the show, said about the Queen of Swords.
podcast-host
This neo-bio is a total pleasure.
podcast-host
I'd never known Elena Garo, and now I'm riveted by the entire morphing fact of her.
podcast-host
Hasmina Barrera's take is intimate and playful and transgressive in the ways we generally get condemned to when considering a life, especially a literary and a female one.
podcast-host
Here we splash dramatically.
podcast-host
Surrounded by Garo Barrera's obsessions.
podcast-host
Garo Barera's obsessions reminds me of Gregor Coffee.
podcast-host
Surrounded by Garo Barrera's obsessions, toys, affairs, homes, animal friends, the works.
podcast-host
It's a joyous, brainy blast, and I'm intrigued and changed by the Queen of Swords as a reader and a writer.
podcast-host
So here's a question for you from Hasmina.
podcast-host
A joyous brainy blast.
podcast-host
Well, it can mean it now.
That's a perfect segue for this next question, which sort of engages with this question of control, I think.
podcast-host
Because my experience of why I find your work as a whole, but this book in particular as one of possibility and also solace, but also as a way to reframe catastrophic change, is that first the book acknowledges that everything is cracking apart.
