Hello, FastPencilers-- I'm a semi-retired writer/professor (who isn't these days?); currently teaching Comparative Lit at JSM Institute for Labor Studies/CUNY. I am originally from Santiago, Chile, and I live in New York City.
My blog about teaching and literature is
http://marianaromo-carmona.blogspot.com
In December 2010 I published Speaking Like An Immigrant, and 3 other books in 2011-- Sobrevivir y otros complejos, my English translation of La muchacha de ojos tristes and the memoir collection by Catalan writer, Mercedes Salvador-- Viviendo campo a través, translated into English by myself and Ken Green.
My next projects at Fast Pencil are both novels: Residence on Earth and Lo que queda en la memoria.
Thanks for looking,
Mariana
