Views of Siena. I was there last week for Policromia poetry and translation festival.
Just 11 votes for Don Quixote, 3 for Pedro Páramo… 😔 www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...
Fuente del Quixote in Chapultepec is inspired by a similar structure in Seville. This is a refurbished version as the sculptures have been robbed more than once. Diego Rivera as Sancho and Dalí as the mad knight. Used to function as a library. See the bookshelves. Books were stored in the hut.

Dappled Jarmusch posters. More Tom Waits this week than I’d expected.
