Paralyzed by Fear

About five years ago, when I enjoyed the hospitality of my dear friends Bocaranda at Runrunes, I wrote a series of articles on the influence of fear in the evolution of societies on a universal scale. Nothing new in the field of historiography, but a feeling of closeness related to Venezuelan society that could lead to catastrophic effects and needed attention for its probable consequences. As it seems my presumption was not in vain, given the situations we are suffering today in post-imperial bombardment Venezuela, I will insist on the matter.

Not All, But Almost All

To those who do not buy books written by women. To those who are not capable of mentioning the name of at least five female authors. To those who have not read even five female authors. To those who do not join a book club because that is a plan for women. To those who do not attend writing workshops given by women. To those who attack female authors without having taken the trouble to read them. To those who queue at a writer's book signing and, the first thing they do upon reaching the table, is clarify that the book is not for them, but for their girlfriend or their mother. To those who leave bad reviews of books written by women that they clearly did not read. To those who believe that if a woman sells many books, it is because she has connections or because she is pretty or because she is famous or because who knows to whom she gave it or because she was lucky, or because she is privileged or because it is 'fashionable' to publish women.
