News on the Rialto
June 12th, 2008 
Once some organs start talking, they never quiet down. Or so it would seem: Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues has been running in Mexico City since 2000. There are 12 shows a week, and it will soon be performed for the 5000th time here. How to explain such an extraordinarily long run? Perhaps because in these parts, those parts had been silenced for so that it’s astonishing to hear them roar. And maybe some local audiences are simply better listeners than anyone would have imagined.

I’m a mexican, from D.F.,living abroad for the last 15 years. I loved your book. It made me rediscover my city a page at the time. It looks like you have accumulated great deal of knowledge of this complex metropolis throughout
the years. Thanks for sharing it with us in the book.

David. Your “Travel Advisory” is
outstanding! My favorite is “Regrets”.
Also “La dejada”. Your stories give
me the panorama of what life is in
the D. F. I will devour your:
“First Stop in the New World”> Thank
you for all that you share.
Be loud! John Saunders
