Audio Excerpts of note

http://www.democracynow.org - In an exclusive interview, Chilean novelist Isabel Allende remembers the life and legacy of late writer Gabriel García Márquez. She reads from his landmark novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and talks about how García Márquez influenced generations of thinkers and writers in Latin America, and across the world. "He’s the master of masters," Allende says. "In a way, he conquered readers and conquered the world, and told the world about us, Latin Americans, and told us who we are. In his pages, we saw ourselves in a mirror." Allende describes the first time she read "One Hundred Years of Solitude," and how it impacted her. "It was as if someone was telling me my own story," she says. We also air video of García Márquez in his own words and hear Democracy Now! co-host Juan González read from "The General in His Labyrinth."

"He Gave Us Back Our History": Isabel Allende on Gabriel García Márquez in Exclusive Interview (2/2)

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
This week Judge William Young excoriated the Trump administration’s attack on free speech. “This case — perhaps the most important ever to fall within the jurisdiction of this district court — squarely presents the issue of whether non-citizens lawfully present here in [the] United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us,” he wrote. “The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.'”
