E-mail from Tijuana, Heriberto Yépez writes, a propos of this blog:

"Estimado Jonathan M.

Aunque no seas mexicano, tu humor es latinoamericano, sin duda."

Apparently my corrosive sense humor sounds Mexican, to at least one Mexican reader. And here I thought I had gotten it from the New York School of poetry! And I am a peninsularist, not a Latin Americanist, in the jargon of the field.
