Todavía sigo pensando en “Muerte por coco”: uno de los ensayos más desternillantes (y trágicos) que he leído
Me gusta la historia porque me gusta la ciencia ficción. El pasado y el futuro son dos territorios desconocidos: tenemos ideas aproximadas sobre ellos, pero siempre rebasan nuestras nociones preconcebidas

Even if he knows that “ethnography comes with a price,” the author is well aware of his own privileges as an academic: the lives he’s writing about are precarious and desperate to the utmost degree, while he gets to return to the “ivory tower of academia.”
Many passages will stick with me, but this one where the author wonders if he has gone too far, if ethnographic fieldwork is taking a toll on him, is haunting
