‘Nero Wolfe is a fictional character, a brilliant, oversized, eccentric armchair detective created in 1934 by American mystery writer Rex Stout. Wolfe was born in Montenegro and keeps his past murky. He lives in a luxurious brownstone on West 35th Street in New York City, and he is loath to leave his home for business or anything that would keep him from reading his books, tending his orchids, or eating the gourmet meals prepared by his chef, Fritz Brenner. Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's sharp-witted, dapper young confidential assistant with an eye for attractive women, narrates the cases and does the legwork for the detective genius.

‘Stout published 33 novels and 41 novellas and short stories featuring Wolfe from 1934 to 1975, with most of them set in New York City. The stories have been adapted for film, radio, television and the stage. The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated for Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world's largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was a nominee for Best Mystery Writer of the Century.’ — Wikipedia

Wood Engraving Wednesday

From the same anonymous gift we mentioned yesterday is this Literary Guild edition of English novelist and travel writer Alec Waugh’s (Evelyn Waugh’s older brother) travel memoir to the tropics, Hot Countries, with wood engravings (despite that the title page says they are woodcuts) by American wordless novel artist and wood engraver Lynd Ward, printed for the Guild in Rahway, N. J. by Quinn & Boden Company in 1930. The text and even some of the wood engravings (there are about 20) have a decidedly imperialist quality about them (an earlier incarnation of the text was entitled Coloured Countries). Still, we love the drama and the movement of line in Ward’s engravings.

The first edition was originally published in New York by Farrar and Rinehart in 1930. The Literary Guild, founded in 1927 as a competitor to the Book of the Month Club, was and remains a mail order book club selling low cost editions of contemporary titles to its members. The chair of its editorial board at the time was the American scholar and critic Carl Van Doren and the titles selected by the board to be reprinted were published on the same date as the trade editions.

Carmen Natalia Martínez Bonilla, known simply as Carmen Natalia, (April 19, 1917 - January 6, 1976) was a Dominican poet, essayist, playwright and feminist activist in opposition to the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo.

Early life:

Carmen Natalia Martínez Bonilla was born in San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic, in 1917. Her parents were Andrés Martínez Aybar and Carmen Julia Bonilla Atiles, and she was one of seven children. In 1931, her family moved to Santo Domingo, where she worked for a time in a relative's factory to help support her mother.

As a child she studied at Colegio Salomé Ureña. Carmen Natalia was self-taught and she was denied admission to the University of Santo Domingo, where she hoped to study philosophy and literature, due to her political beliefs. She had signed a letter condemning the dismissal of her uncle, José Antonio Bonilla Atiles, a professor at the university.

Instead, in 1937 she got a job as an advertising manager for the Rialto Circuit film distribution company, working to promote radio shows, theatrical performances, and movies.

Literary debut:

In 1939, at just 22 years old, she published her first book of poetry, Alma Adentro. She began to write frequently under the pseudonym Carmen Natalia for literary magazines as varied as Los Nuevos and La Poesía Sorprendida, also collaborating in the newspapers La Opinion and Listín Diario.

In 1942, her first novel, La Victoria, was recognized as the best Dominican novel at the Farrar & Rinehart International Contest in Washington. She openly questioned the social order under the Trujillo regime.

El Mundo en Ancho y Ajeno - Por: Ciro Alegría ---

El mundo es ancho y ajeno es una novela del escritor peruano Ciro Alegría, publicada en 1941, considerada como una de las obras más destacadas de la literatura indigenista o regionalista, y la obra maestra de su autor.

​Mario Vargas Llosa, al hablar sobre la literatura de su país, ha afirmado que El mundo es ancho y ajeno constituye «el punto de partida de la literatura narrativa moderna peruana y su autor nuestro primer novelista clásico». Cuenta con numerosas ediciones en castellano y es la novela más traducida del autor, ​ a más de treinta idiomas.

Esta novela es también la primera gran novela peruana de dimensión universal. Aun cuando en otros países de Latinoamérica se tenían notables ejemplos de novelas regionalistas, indigenistas y sociales (como Enriquillo, Doña Bárbara, Don Segundo Sombra, Raza de Bronce o Los de abajo), en el Perú no existía hasta entonces una novela que pudiese compararse a aquellas.

La novela narra los problemas de la comunidad andina de Rumi, liderada por su alcalde Rosendo Maqui, quien enfrenta la codicia del hacendado don Álvaro Amenábar y Roldán, el cual finalmente les arrebata sus tierras. «Váyanse a otra parte, el mundo es ancho», dicen los despojadores a los comuneros.

Estos buscarán entonces un nuevo lugar donde vivir. Pero si bien es cierto que el mundo es ancho o inmenso, siempre será ajeno o extraño para los comuneros.

La experiencia trágica de muchos de ellos que van a ganarse la vida a otros lugares, sufriendo la más cruel explotación, padeciendo enfermedades y hasta la muerte, lo demostrará con creces. Para el hombre andino la comunidad es el único lugar habitable. Este es el mensaje último que nos trasmite la novela.

Ciro Alegría se puso a escribir esta obra para presentarla al Concurso Latinoamericano de Novela convocado desde Estados Unidos por la prestigiosa Editorial Farrar & Rinehart de Nueva York y auspiciado por la Unión Panamericana de Washington. Pudo dedicarse tranquilamente a esta labor pues un grupo de amigos acordaron pasarle una subvención mensual. Comenzó a escribir desde junio de ese año y entregó los originales de la novela terminada el día 15 de noviembre.

De acuerdo a las bases del concurso serían seleccionadas una novela por cada país latinoamericano, de entre las cuales saldría un ganador. La novela de Ciro fue seleccionada y enviada a Washington. Lo anecdótico fue que participara a nombre de Chile (el escritor, debido a su militancia aprista, se hallaba desterrado en dicho país), mientras que por el Perú fue seleccionada la novela Panorama hacia el alba, del escritor José Ferrando, un desconocido autor que desplazó a novelas como Yawar Fiesta del entonces joven escritor José María Arguedas.

El 28 de febrero de 1941 le comunicaron a Ciro Alegría su triunfo, invitándosele a ir a Nueva York, con una bolsa de viajes pagada. El premio consistía en 2.500 dólares que le fue entregado en un banquete que se le ofreció en el Hotel Waldorf-Astoria, el Día de las Américas, el 14 de abril de ese año.

La novela fue publicada ese año por la Editorial Ercilla de Santiago de Chile. A fines de octubre apareció su traducción al inglés (Broad and alien is the world) que fue ubicado por la prensa en el cuarto lugar de ventas. Sin duda se trataba de la primera gran novela peruana y universal. Revista Literatura Peruana – jaimeariansen@outlook.com

Death In The Afternoon Cocktail [and Book]

A Deadly Potion?

When a drink is called Death In The Afternoon you'd probably think it has something to do with the Day Of The Dead celebrations or something haunted on Halloween. After all there are lots of zombies and assorted Halloween spooks rising from the dead and painted skulls like on these Day Of The Dead tequila bottles are associated with that occasion.

However, those assumptions would be wrong.

Its Really A Novel Drink

Death in the Afternoon is both an absinthe champagne cocktail and a book about Spanish bullfighting which were both created by author Ernest Hemingway in the 1930s. Actually, the cocktail was named after the book.

First, Let's Set The Tome

After immersing himself in the world of bullfighting during his trips to Spain in the early 1920s, where Pamplona and the bullfights held during the religious festival of San Fermín became the backdrop for some of The Sun Also Rises most memorable moments, Hemingway celebrates the history, meaning and magnificence of Spanish bullfighting in his 1932 non-fiction book Death In The Afternoon. Not only does he explore the ceremony and traditions of Spain's national sport, he also tries to explain it emotionally by contemplating the nature of fear and courage in his writing.

The chances are that the first bullfight any spectator attends may not be a good one artistically; for that to happen there must be good bullfighters and good bulls; artistic bullfighters and poor bulls do not make interesting fights, for the bullfighter who has ability to do extraordinary things with the bull which are capable of producing the intensest degree of emotion in the spectator but will not attempt them with a bull which he cannot depend on to charge...

Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.

~ Ernest Hemingway, from Death in the Afternoon

Let's Let That Soak In A Moment

A few years later, along comes an invitation to concoct an original holiday drink recipe, along with lots of other literati, to be named after their books and bound together as part of a collection of celebrity cocktails.* Of course, Papa liked to party and couldn't pass up the chance to partake.

Hemingway's spirited submission came with the author's backstory of how it was formulated by himself and three Royal Navy officers of the HMS Danae, presumably while stationed in the British West Indies as part of the 8th Cruiser Squadron before the outbreak of the 2nd Sino-Japanese War.† This was after the four of them had spent seven hours overboard trying to get Key West charter boat captain, and Ernest's friend, Edward ‘Bra’ Saunder's stranded fishing vessel off a bank after a northwest gale. No doubt they were thirsty after all that.

Behind The Bar - How To Make A Death In The Afternoon Drink At Home

Death In The Afternoon Cocktail Recipe:

1 ½ oz absinthe

3 - 4 oz champagne

Pour the absinthe into the bottom of a champagne flute. Then slowly top the glass with champagne.

Would you like to hear it straight from the author's mouth? Here's Hemingway's earnest instructions, waxed poetic, as only he could do:

Pour one jigger of absinthe into a champagne glass. Add iced champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness.‡ Drink three to five of these slowly.

~ Ernest Hemingway, from So Red The Nose

Follow his drinking quantity recommendations at your own risk though. As the editor notes, it takes a man with hair on his chest to drink five absinthe and champagne cocktails... adding that after six The Sun Also Rises.

Want A More Authentic Spanish Flair?

That probably depends on your perspective. Is Death In The Afternoon a nautically themed cocktail since it was created by sailors out at sea or is it more of a bullfighting drink because it was named after Hemingway's book on the subject?

If you think its the latter, then you may want to substitute some cava for the champagne. The generally more modestly priced cava, mostly from the Catalonia region of Spain, is a Spanish sparkling wine made in the same traditionnelle / champenoise method as the more famous French bubbly is. Its flavor profile will be similar too, especially if made with chardonnay or pinot noir grapes like champagne, but since cava “runs with the bulls,” its the real deal. Salud!

Feel like a book and a beverage from Hemingway's library bar?
