Literally never show my face on this site anymore but figured this might be the time:
My article on Mariana Enriquez's (brilliant) Nuestra parte de noche is out now!!!
Have been obsessing over phantom limbs for a while now...and you can read some of how that went here.

Did you write a draft in Michaelmas term that you're feeling insecure about? Do you have a paper idea that needs revising before you send it out to journals? Is there a chapter you can't seem to get just right?

I'm elated to finally see this article published!
It is about Retablo (Delgado-Aparicio 2017), a Peruvian film I came across in the dark times of lockdown and ultimately became instrumental in my doctoral research about Latin American queerness.

Next in the line of presentations: this year's PILAS Secretary: Ana María Villaveces (@AM_Villaveces). She is a PhD Candidate at Cambridge whose focus is Latin American Horror. If she's not reading horror novels... she's honestly probably watching video essays on YouTube.

@mollymcghee Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already but I would definitely suggest Mariana Enríquez and Mónica Ojeda to go along with Samantha Schweblin’s eerie and unsettling style of horror!
