Early in 1984, Lucia Berlin was recorded reading her short stories for The Poetry Center, one of her rare readings documented on video. The audience, from sonic and brief on-camera evidence, features a full house of friends among scattered students at Newspace, New College of California, on Valencia Street, San Francisco. Here, she delivers two incredibly compressed little chef-d’ouevres: “The Pony Bar, Oakland” and “My Jockey.” Berlin reads here a total of not even two pages. “There are certain perfect particular sounds.” (text adapted from "For Mnemosyne" openspace.sfmoma.org/2016/10/...)

Impresionante esta mujer
Me he leído todos los libros que ha escrito
Lástima que ya no pueda publicar ninguno más
Para mí, una escritora imprescindible!!!!
