Nacho’s Culture Notes

My name is Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado and this is the newsletter in which I write short observations on books, films, food, teaching and other issues related to culture. I am a scholar of Mexican literature, cinema and gastronomy at Washington University in St. Louis and the author of many books and essays. You can read about me and fine some of my works here

This newsletter will be updated roughly once a week, depending on the rhythms and flows of the academic semester and any encounter with books, films or cultural objects that excite me. It will always be free. Thank you for reading.
