Meta-lect 49 (Pato Maicero)



10 March 2011. Gray or sun, can't decide.

Pato maicero--her brown head and striated back. in a sea of river grass, camalote blossoms floating on the Paraná...

El Tigre, January 1961. That would be mid-summer. The delta, meandering banks, lush gold-green, sweltering palms, fronds low to the water. An open boat with rows of seats, canvas awning, polished wood. Worn brass fitting or two. The captain--tipo del campo, a river man...

Sounds like...
