Perder es cuestión de método, for instance, is a very Colombian story, but lately even if you preserve the Colombian characters, your novels take place very far away, they are more globalised.<br /> <br /> Santiago Gamboa: I think that is an achievement of my generation: to be able to write novels in other countries. The idea that the Peruvian wrote only about Peru, the Mexican about Mexico and the Colombian about Colombia, stayed behind. Nobody asks a French writer to write about France, so to get that freedom as a Latin American is a great achievement. My literature can get away from Colombia in terms of geography, but not emotionally. Many Colombians travel, live things that were not previously lived.http://throwawayblog.com/post/17630208639http://throwawayblog.com/post/17630208639Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:24:32 -0500quotebin<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz3opsdkfK1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>found somewhere in SF via FB</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/17291479805http://throwawayblog.com/post/17291479805Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:44:16 -0500graffiti<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyvn5zC0fy1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>instagram’d by my friend wolfy w</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/17034757174http://throwawayblog.com/post/17034757174Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:29:58 -0500van<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyt1jxkkHb1qat3rxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://wizardnews.tumblr.com/post/16966000156/taken-with-instagram" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">wizardnews</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a></p></blockquote>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16992928747http://throwawayblog.com/post/16992928747Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:06:11 -0500graffiticute animalsoakland<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lykr7ycNmW1qg0pu3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>web flotsam</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16762134276http://throwawayblog.com/post/16762134276Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:41:59 -0500graffitifound<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydcttWGNw1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16474979506http://throwawayblog.com/post/16474979506Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:29:52 -0500bikes<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydc02aoMu1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>i’m thinking of modifying the westy a little…</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16474246935http://throwawayblog.com/post/16474246935Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:12:02 -0500van<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lya71jleTb1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>park ave, oakland, ca</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16385698042http://throwawayblog.com/post/16385698042Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:32:06 -0500unwitting<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly4i4jP98b1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>found on FB— SF mission hipster graffiti cuteness</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16197763230http://throwawayblog.com/post/16197763230Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:45:55 -0500graffiti sf<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly2siio3kh1qz9iteo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>unfortunately named streetfood, found on the peruvian interwebs</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/16150299811http://throwawayblog.com/post/16150299811Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:35:06 -0500unwitting<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxt62tLDyO1qboworo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://emilyheller.tumblr.com/post/15847223595/cat-bat-cat-bat" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">emilyheller</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>CAT BAT!!
