Disparen sobre el artista
"The essay of Pedro Ignacio Alonso "Shot the artist" elaborates on the distortion of architectural ideas contained in the preponderance of engraving. The text reveals unsuspected relationships, capable of illuminating perplexing aspects of the theory of architecture, as for example the unexpected obsession of Reyner Banham by the primitive cabin [...] Alonso deals with this story of corruption, patronage and networking (something completely plausible in our days) to recognize the twist that makes Banham in order to create an alternative to architecture." --Extract from the text of André Tavares.

Alonso's Puzzle: I Am Still Puerto Rican
“Alonso’s Puzzle” is a curious amalgam of fact, fiction, and philosophy. It oscillates between a memoir and a confession. The narrative follows the adventures of a man named Alonso. Alonso is the alter ego of Cervantes’ “Don Quixote.” Before losing his wits, the character’s name was Alonso Quijano el Bueno. Both Spanish and English are used, and the narration is nonlinear; thus, “Alonso’s Puzzle.” The subtitle “I Am Still Puerto Rican” is an allusion to Esmeralda Santiago’s “Cuando era puertorriqueña.” The various pieces of the puzzle seem to suggest the various periods of life, or the places lived. The missing piece is the protagonist's death. The image on the front cover is the work of the author's granddaughter, Miriam Moshe Cooper.
