Extractions: comments incoming pings ... outgoing pings October 12, 2003 The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel: an absolute delight for several of the senses - seeing and hearing. This novel starts out in Mexico as the conquistadors are obliterating the Aztecs. After a brief interlude with a conquistador and an Aztec princess, we are in Mexico City still, but far in the future. We immediately meet Azucena, an astroanalyst, who with the help of a gaurdian angel help people put the karma of their past lives into balance. She is going to meet her twin soul and true love, Rodrigo. Soon after meeting him, however, she loses him and begins a journey through many lifetimes to help all the people of the world learn the Law of Love. There were several interesting concepts in this book that I found both entertaining and enjoyable. Whenever Azucena wanted to regress to a past life, she would listen to her CD player. A CD with the same tracks that she listened to was included so that the reader could hear what she was hearing. The past lives were also done in wonderful color illustrations by Spanish artist Miguelano Prado showing exactly what she was experiencing. While the New Age talk may throw some people off, I found the book very entertaining and enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something a little bit different to read.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES Intimate Writings on Life, Love, Food Flavor laura esquivel Crown Memoir ISBN 0609608479. In BETWEEN TWO FIRES
http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0609608479.asp

Extractions: In BETWEEN TWO FIRES, Laura Esquivel, the author of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE, has collected a number of her shorter writings, including stories, articles, and speeches. The role of food in relationships, both familial and romantic, is at the heart of BETWEEN TWO FIRES, but Esquivel's book also has a decidedly political stance, as many of the pieces deal with her belief in the need for a "New Man." These two important themes are revealed in the book's first piece, "At the Hearth," a speech Esquivel delivered at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City in January of 1993 after being named "Woman of the Year" for 1992. Esquivel's belief that the preparation of food is a spiritual act is clear from the very beginning: "I spent the first years of my life beside the hearth in my mother's and grandmother's kitchens, seeing how these wise women, upon entering those sacred places, became priestesses, great alchemists who dealt with water, air, fire, earth - the four basic elements that comprise the entire universe."

Extractions: Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel: what a wonderful book this was! It was very short (I read it in one day), but absolutely engrossing from the start. A fabulous mixture of love, romance, fairy tale, and recipes. The book tells the story of Mama Elena and her three daughters - Rosaura, Gertrudis, and Tita, the youngest. When Tita turns fifteen she wishes to be married, but family tradition dictates that the youngest daughter must never marry and look after her mother until the day she dies. Pedro, the boy in love with Tita, in turn marries Rosaura so he can be near the woman he loves. This leads to all sorts of complications and events that no one could predict. The novel has the same sort of feel as Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic . For example, the sadness of that Tita feels while cooking causes an entire wedding party to experience longing and unhappiness simply by eating her food. I also enjoyed that included in each chapter was a recipe for the dish that was being prepared. I'm not a cook, but I found it fascinating nonetheless.

Soon after meeting him, however, she loses him and begins a journey through many lifetimes to help all the people of the world learn the Law of Love. At first, going from ancient Mexico to futuristic Mexico threw me off. I also felt a bit lost since the book starts talking about Azucena being an astroanalyst, but I wasn't sure what that was. I quickly picked up on everything and enjoyed the story quite a bit. The occasional chapters from both a gaurdian angel and a demon always interrupted me from the story - they would always jolt me to reality. There were several interesting concepts in this book that I found both entertaining and enjoyable. Whenever Azucena wanted to regress to a past life, she would listen to her CD player.

Extractions: From the moment he is born, laughing instead of crying like other babies, Júbilo has a special talent for spreading joy. No one can resist his charm and good humor, and his very presence seems to ease tension and encourage harmony in everyone around him. But Júbilo has another, more mysterious gift: he can hear the sand dunes singing; he can understand the whispers of insects; he can decipher what is in people's hearts, even when they cannot. But now the telegraph lies abandoned, obsolete as a form of communication in the electronic age, and Júbilo lies on his deathbed, mute, blind, and estranged from his beloved wife, Lucha, who refuses to speak to him. A secret tragedy has torn apart their sensuous and loving marriage, and only their daughter, imitating what she has learned from her father about interpreting the truth of the heart, can bring reconciliation to her parents before it is too late. As a child, Júbilo can hear silent words behind the words his mother and grandmother speak, and knows that these silent words represent repressed desires. He considers it his job to translate these repressed desires into a language of emotion. Are these women truly repressing their desire to get along, or is Júbilo projecting his own childish need for them to get along? Since his interpretations cause harmony, does it matter? To what extent do you consider Júbilo's interpretations meddling?

La Jornada 13 De Noviembre De 1995 Laura Esquivel, Al Rescate Del
http://www.jornada.unam.mx/1995/nov95/951113/ESQUICLW-067.html

Extractions: La Jornada 13 de noviembre de 1995 Laura Esquivel, al rescate del mundo íntimo en el ``siglo del desequilibrio'' Cristina Pacheco/ II y última ¤ ``El siglo XX será visto como el siglo del desequilibrio. El excesivo propósito de conseguir el progreso nos desequilibró; pero creo que la gente se está dando cuenta de que por eso mismo ha llegado el momento de recuperar su mundo íntimo, su mundo sagrado'', dice Laura Esquivel. Consciente de la energía del universo, atesora recuerdos, sólo teme a los resentimientos y acaricia un sueño: ``Ir a Venecia de luna de miel. Hace mucho tiempo que he querido ir allá, quizá porque la novela de Thomas Mann me fascinó tanto y luego también me encantó su versión cinematográfica''. Respetuosa y amante de las palabras, Laura Esquivel es apasionada del cine, ``la manifestación artística de nuestro siglo'', como espectadora y también como escritora: ``porque es un medio que te brinda infinidad de posibilidades. Resulta apasionante la magia de poder narrar con imágenes''. Laura Esquivel recurrió a las imágenes en partes de su segunda novela: La ley del amor. La historia de una pasión Entre tu primera novela y La ley del amor median seis años. Esta relativa demora podría leerse como cierto temor. Imposible que recuerdes cuántos ejemplares de Como agua para chocolate has autografiado, pero supongo que recordarás el momento en que lo hiciste por vez primera. Claro que sí: estaba nerviosísima. Al principio, cuando alguien me pedía que le autografiara mi novela me costaba mucho trabajo pensar en lo que iba a poner en la dedicatoria, me sentía comprometida a escribir algo muy especial. Ahora es distinto. He eliminado ese tono de nerviosismo y sólo disfruto de la posibilidad de tener, aunque sea momentáneamente, una relación directa con el lector. La invasión del tiempo Ese cambio de actitud, ¿implica también un cambio en ti o crees ser la misma Laura Esquivel que hace años nos entregó Como agua para chocolate? No soy la misma, por supuesto. Cuando escribí Como agua... no pude siquiera imaginar lo que pasaría con la novela. Su éxito inmenso cambió por completo mis circunstancias y automáticamente yo también cambié. Madonna dice algo muy inteligente al respecto: 'La gente siempre piensa la forma en que el éxito cambia a una persona, pero pocas veces toma en cuenta la manera en que las personas cambian frente a quien tiene el éxito'. Siempre existe un juego de interacción del mundo hacia ti y de ti hacia el mundo. En mi caso, lo que sucedió es que de pronto me sentí completamente invadida, atosigada casi, por algo que no había planeado ni esperaba y que me desconcertó muchísimo. Quizá todo hubiera sido distinto si yo hubiese tenido un periodo de preparación; es decir, si me hubiera llegado el éxito en la cuarta o quinta novela y no en la primera. Pero no fue así y el éxito removió y lo alteró todo. ¿También tu relación con la literatura? No. Tampoco variaron mis objetivos. Lo que cambió fue mi ritmo de trabajo. El éxito me dejó sin tiempo para mí o para trabajar con tranquilidad; me quitó la paz de que había disfrutado antes de que se publicara la novela. Entonces comencé una etapa muy difícil, donde tuve que seguir escribiendo enmedio de viajes, llamadas telefónicas, entrevistas, problemas personales. Me gusta hablar por teléfono, pero si respondiera a todas las llamadas que recibo al día ya no iba a quedarme tiempo para conversar con mi hija, para meterme a la cocina, para salir de mi casa o cocinar. Laura, nada más ¿Sigues cocinando? Aquí ya no puedo hacerlo, por todos los compromisos que tengo. En cambio en Nueva York sí lo hago. Allá me pierdo. Puedo ir tranquilamente a los centros de abasto y comprar lo que necesito para hacer los platillos mexicanos que me gustan y de los que depende el sazón. ¿Qué significa para ti el hecho de cocinar? Es un acto amoroso en la medida que te brinda la posibilidad de producirle placer a otra persona. También escribir es un acto amoroso. Es cierto, y encuentro una relación muy estrecha entre uno y otro. Lo mismo pienso acerca del baile (entre paréntesis, te diré que me encanta bailar). La escritura tiene un ritmo, un movimiento, una especie de respiración a la que es necesario integrarse. Por eso procuro mantener cierta disciplina. Háblame de ella. Me levanto temprano, realizo una serie de prácticas de meditación que me permitan proteger mis silencios y escucharme. Después puedo ponerme a escribir. Lo haces a la luz del día. Sí, y no sabes hasta qué punto influye sobre mí, sobre mi trabajo, la luz del sol. Mirar el amanecer, la luz que avanza, me llena de ánimo y de energía, me entusiasma. Si me cuesta vivir en Nueva York es porque allá, en invierno, la noche llega a las cuatro de la tarde. Eso me deprime, entre otras cosas porque siento que perdí la mitad de un día. En Nueva York, como en otras partes del mundo donde los inviernos son severos, pierdes parte del día, pero ganas algo: el anonimato. Eso ¿te desagrada o te libera? Me encanta porque me permite establecer un contacto más espontáneo y natural con otras personas. Ninguna se me acerca porque escribí tal o cual cosa o porque piensa que soy importante debido a que mi obra fue traducida a tales o cuales idiomas. Las personas se acercan a mí sólo porque soy otro ser humano y ya. Allá lejos me vuelvo Laura, nada más. Luego, claro, hay que volver al medio y la vida que son míos. Eso también es muy hermoso, aunque tenga que compartir mis horas de trabajo o gastar mucho tiempo en responder llamadas telefónicas.

Laura Esquivel, Like Water For Chocolate

Extractions: I'm a greedy little bugger, really. So when novels come with "extras," I jump for joy. Laura Esquivel's first novel, Like Water for Chocolate , is one such novel: the cover blurb describes it as "a novel in monthly installments with recipes, romances, and home remedies." Tita was born and raised in the kitchen; many of her joys and sadnesses revolve around food. As the youngest of three daughters, Tita is dismayed that her love for Pedro must be denied so that she can continue a family tradition: as the youngest daughter, she must take care of her mother until she dies. Naturally, she seeks the refuge of the kitchen, immersing herself in preparing age-old recipes for family meals and celebrations. Each chapter opens with a recipe, usually for a dish that figures into the events of the chapter. The preparation of each dish sparks a type of "kitchen magic" any time Tita is present. As a result, many of the dishes have unexpected results on the members of the family, thus setting into motions events which will test Tita's love and her devotion to her family and Pedro. Esquivel's novel is a fresh combination of love, food and Mexican tradition prepared and served from a delightfully rich point-of-view. The translation by Carol and Thomas Christensen is excellent (as far as my mediocre Spanish can tell); the subtle nuances of Mexican oral storytelling are kept intact, and the writing simmers with flavor.
