The Centro Histórico area is the nation's repository of rare and antique bookstores. For decades, Enrique Fuentes, the owner of Librería Madero, an antique-book store in the Centro Histórico of Mexico City, has scavenged through piles of near-garbage every Tuesday morning in a junkyard market in search of printed matter. A 16th century book he dug up there in 1985 paid for the...

[ts] First of all, sorry to each and every Spanish-speaker for butchering your language. The title is a literal -- and probably very wrong -- translation of "Distrito Federal No More." Second of all, thank you to everybody who expressed concern about my freak eye injury. JS and I are now back in Vancouver, arriving last night.

Apparently the rarest beat album of the 1960s is The Fabulous Fabs by south Wales girl group, The Fabs (see pic). Why is this piece of vinyl so difficult to get hold of? Because it was only ever released in, of all places, Mexico. So who exactly were The Fabs? They were Marilyn Johnston (guitar) from Cardiff; Maria Kitson (rhythm guitar) from Newport; Linda Mazey (drums) from Barry; and Margaret Lewis...

This long-awaited novel recalls a dangerous era for artists. By Maya Jaggi Barbara Kingsolver's first novel in nine years takes a huge risk in venturing into copiously charted territory. It moves from the muralists and surrealists of the 1930s in the aftermath of the Mexican revolution to the McCarthyite witch-hunt of artists in the late 40s and 50s. Yet in crossing and recrossing the US-Mexican border,...

Kristen Stewart was on the move yesterday in LA. She was showing a lot more skin than usual, as she ran towards her brother Taylor's car in a pair of tiny shorts. Kristen has kept it pretty casual so far with her New Moon press appearances, considering she sported jeans in Mexico City , though she got a little fancier for a stop in Brazil . We're heading into the big press weekend for her upcoming...
