invite the Master Monsiváis to give two lectures in Houston . Mark Zimmerman, was the head of Latin American Studies U of H, and as he had established a friendly relationship with the teacher, took the initiative to call several agencies to make this trip. It was really a luxury to have a writer of such stature in our midst. His arrival was scheduled for Wednesday in August at a restaurant Westheimer, a somewhat bohemian with oil paintings and cement floor. Excitement caused me to see among all these people I had been working to enable their arrival. He looked a little tired. During the meal, we talked a little bit of everything from literature to the work being done at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The teacher MariCarmen Monsivais already knew Ramirez and his intention to make the MFAH, the world center of Latin American art. next day, Carlos Monsivais gave his first lecture at Rice. The call was a success because the audience was packed. My idea of \u200b\u200bfilming the conference faded when I found a single space for the small camera tripod. When I entered, he pronounced the beginning of his now (for us) historical conversation: 
"Comala I left because I said it was in Los Angeles, Houston or Chicago, where my father lived, though one Pedro Páramo.A of racist policies, harassment, threats and murders, the integration of Latin America with the United States has to do strictly with the work order and work order which is providing the elements of legitimacy and legality of these Mexicans in the United States . 
The rest of the talk can be found in the magazine Literal night, Maarten VanDelden, which at that time was head of Latin American Studies, invited us to dinner at a restaurant sponsors Italian and, of course, the writer. However, he remained silent and soon apologized and asked to be taken to the hotel. Solieh Padilla who at the time was the cultural attaché of the Consulate. took him to his hotel. On his return to our dinner, and with much surprise, we talked to the teacher had confessed on the road, he had not read his paper but so had improvised, it seemed he was reading. I did not want to give the impression of not writing his paper. I was speechless and my admiration for their work doubled because I never have been able to make me look like a paper as an essay. It was like writing an essay spoke before a packed auditorium
on Friday gave his talk about the traditions before an audience at the University of Houston. Next day, however, Bencomo Anadeli made an exclusive interview with the Maestro same as published in Literal - which can also be read on the blog of Literal
