  • Bajo el volcán: Juan Villoro - 'Bajo el volcán' Juan Villoro 3 Jul. 09 El centenario del nacimiento de Malcolm Lowry ha traído congresos en cantinas y abadías, algo apropiado para un autor que conoció el paraíso en alta mar y los bosques de Vancouver, y el infierno en las cárceles y los hospitales psiquiátricos.
