By the way, the correct translation into English of the title is "Still Life Resuscitated" or even better "Still Life Brought Back to Life".

It is quite rude. Martin would be shocked. But that's how Benicio talks!

Yes, I have always remembered Remedios Varo - thanks for the notes on her and for introducing me to her! I think I still have that poster you sent me, somewhere...it was on my wall for years when I was a student. As for 'a huevo', well as I say, Mexican slang...all pretty colourful. I've got a character saying to Josh 'No mames' in book 2...think that's over the top? :) Btw send me your latest postal address so I can send you the book! Hi Martin!

I'm so glad. BTW, she's not really mexican, she was born in Gerona, in Spain, in 1908, and only came to México (where she stayed) in 1941. Because of that, she's described as mexican-spanish. Another thing: "A huevo" is indeed a very crude mexican slang... I'd say, too crude to be used by somedy like you! Wow… so Remedios Varo’s paintings did have some use, after all… I’m so glad.
