Fellow BA expat Peter Robertson has released the first issue of a new literary journal, The International Literary Quarterly. I’ve been hearing about the development of this journal from Peter for months and I must say that it exceeds expectations. Great job, Peter!
A couple of pieces of particular interest for readers of this blog are a story by Lydia Davis, mostly known these days as a translator of Proust. Davis wrote the story in 1966 during a summer stay in Buenos Aires.

I’m meeting Peter for coffee tomorrow afternoon in Palermo to chat about the new journal and will be posting a follow-up.
