Super fantastic reading material and DVD selection!! I saw the author of “Bury Me Standing” at the Smithsonian about 10 years ago and she had some amazing stories about the Romany she lived with.
Rome is also a most excellent DVD series. Full of the intrigue and steamy sex scenes all set in the super fabulous Ancient Rome!! Sadly, Rome is not known for the spectacular shoes but the rest of the costumes are worth it!
huh, gitanos….that always makes me thing of Llorca and Romance de la guardia civil espanola. I think Romances gitanos may be one of my favorite books of poetry ever.
grr….Lorca stupid L key stuck….
What fun _ I love reading what you have to say.
: )
I just have to say I totally admire you even more than I ever did because bury me standing is an AMAZING book. It is indeed the super fantastic! Excellent choice Manolo! Keep up the good works!
A fantastic follow-up to “Bury Me Standing” is “We Are the Romani People” by Ian Hancock. Hancock is a Rom himself and writes beautifully from the inside of the Romani culture and experience. Highly recommended.
