We talk with Sergio Pitol translator George Henson, who is the first translator of the Mexican master's work into the English language. We discuss why Pitol is largely unknown in North America (something we hope to change!)and why you should love and treasure Pitol's "The Trilogy of Memory." In January 2022, Pitol's 1984 novel "The Love Parade" will be available from Deep Vellum Publishing. We've read it, and we recommend it highly. Order it here: https://tinyurl.com/mrxnsxv9
