Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
First published in Mexico in 1955, Rulfo's ( The Burning Plain and Other Stories ) only novelpk is a modern classic. The opening of this brief yet complex work is deceptively simple: Juan Preciado has promised his dying mother that he will visit Comala, her hometown, and search for his father, Pedro Paramo. His mother's words lead Juan to expect a "beautiful view of a green plain," but instead he finds a ghost town and learns that Pedro is already dead. Commingling past and present, obliterating the boundary between life and death (spirits walk the earth and corpses converse in their graves), the story depicts this small town "at the very mouth of hell" and Pedro, a man whom one local resident describes as "living bile." An autocratic and amoral patron, Pedro resorted to deception, thievery and murder to get what he wanted. Yet the thing he wanted most--the love of Susana San Juan--remained forever out of reach as Susana, desolated by the loss of her first husband, retreated into madness and then into death. Peden's lucid translation does justice to a tale that is firmly rooted in its own culture yet so fundamentally human in its focus that it speaks across cultural borders.

Long review - I was very impressed with this book. The story - if it can be summed up so simply - is of a man who goes to the town where his father lived on the request of his deceased mother. He wanders about the dead town, running into the ghosts of previous residents, discussing his father with them and getting a glimpse into their lives.
The story soon shifts focus away from him - and the 'I' narration - and instead moves about from person to person, each little experience illuminating the life of his father, Pedra Paramo, in greater detail. In some people's minds he was a villain, in others, a good man, in others, simply a rich man who did what rich men do. Occasionally little snippets of conversation float through the book, often these aren't attributed to anyone and would require a re-read to recognise as the reader becomes more familiar with the characters.
Later, the narration moves away from 'he said she said' back to 'I', but this time the 'I' is Pedro himself. Here he pines for his dead wife, Susana, and his thoughts are only of love and glorifying her image. Yet, generally in sections immediately following it, we witness scenes where he either takes part in or is a silent witness to horrible deeds, so we are left to wonder just what sort of man Pedro Paramo is? And the best part of the book is that it does not try to answer this for us.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez lists Rulfo as one of the two great influences of his life, as well as Kafka's Metamorphosis, and it shows. In Comala, people who die never really leave and an air of magic and realistic exaggeration (if that makes sense) permeates every person and every action.Read more ›
After finishing this book Rulfo himself stopped writing because he felt that it was to much a creepy experience for him.
That's the intesinty this books has.
Also it's higly recomended that you read it in spanish, or make sure that it's a good translation because the language is fundamental to enjoy it.
top 10 on my list.
Original review
I have to admit that the book confused me when the main subject, who went looking for his father, Pedro Paramo suddenly disappears? Becomes his father? Dies? It was an unsettling feeling. Having said this, I loved the idea that everyone he meets is dead or about to die in the empty town of Comala. The eeriness and almost magical feeling certainly predates any of the magic realists and yet the story unravels nicely (despite my confusion).
I've read reviews of people who say they don't understand the book, that it's dark, confusing, depressing, etc. But you have to keep in mind that this book was writen by a Mexican writer, and this is the vision of the universe we Mexicans have. It's a vision of a world full of ghosts, full or mysteries, full or things that have no answer. A timeless world where present, future and past some times are hard to tell apart. This is a book that speaks about the very heart of Mexico itself.
My recommendations to the readers of this book: keep a notebook and a pencil at hand. You'd want to make some brief notes about who's who. That helps a lot throughout the story.
Just free your mind and remember: this book is a vision of the world through the eyes of a Mexican and maybe that's why some non-Latin people find it so hard to understand. But it's a very enjoyable story and a book you shouldn't miss.
The 'flowing tangents of possibility' created by the writer are merely unfinished thoughts with a million answers...was that really the goal? It makes the task of analysis very difficult if there is no right answer to ANYTHING. Sure, this is acceptable for a few parts of the book, but if the author can't finish a thought, it becomes a puzzle of guessing, similar to one of those books that you read as a little kid where you skipped pages depending on the choice you made, and went back if you made the "wrong" choice. Unfortunately for us, however, we don't have the luxury of knowing when the choice was wrong. You could go a solid 60 pages thinking that a character was dead, only to have him/her come back and do something that a proves that he/she was alive the whole. Or maybe, he/she came back to life? You never know! I won't deny that if you are bored, this book will stimulate you; however, the lack of a positive answer makes it a random assortment of thoughts that any writer with half a mind could assemble, and not the critically acclaimed book that the IB Program loves. The constant lack of a firm answer makes it a frustrating piece of literature full of random complexities that I, as a publisher, would never have let out of the drafting stage.

It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Who says chivalry is dead? Contrary to previous reports, Kris Humphries has no plans to sue his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, over upcoming episodes of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, sources tell TMZ.
A rumor surfaced this week saying Humphries was planning on filing a $10 million lawsuit against Kim because of his portrayal on the show, which at this point is not likely to be positive.
However, sources say the basketball player still loves his ex-wife and their relationship right now is "cordial." According to TMZ, Humphries understands he has no control over how he comes across on the show.

Wheat allergies are no joke and customer concerns over wheat content should be taken seriously. While bakeries pose the highest risk, all commercial kitchens need to be cautious as this sneaky ingredient can be found in a broad assortment of food products.
A Wheat Intolerance is Not a Wheat Allergy
Many people often draw an incorrect comparison to a wheat allergy and wheat intolerance. A wheat intolerance simply means that the person cannot digest the wheat protein. A wheat allergy is an immune system response in which the person's body attacks a specific wheat protein. A wheat intolerance may cause some digestive discomfort, but wheat allergies, like all food allergies, can be life-threatening.
Wheat Flour Substitutions for Baking
When baking for a customer with a wheat allergy, there are some simple wheat-free flours that can be substituted without affecting the finished product. You can replace every one cup of wheat flour with one of the following:
- 7/8 cup rice flour
- 5/8 cup potato starch flour
- 1 cup soy flour plus ¼ cup potato starch flour
- 1 cup corn flour
Common Ingredients That May Contain Wheat
When preparing meals for a customers with wheat allergies, read ingredient labels carefully to assure they do not contain the following:
- Bread crumbs
- Bulgur
- Couscous
- Durum
- Emmer
- Einkorn
- Flour
- Kamut
- Semolina
- Triticale
- Cereal extract
- Farina
- Spelt
Common Foods That May Contain Wheat
Wheat may also be found in these common foods:
- Ale
- Baking mixes
- Baked goods
- Beer
- Breaded foods
- Breakfast cereals
- Crackers
- Hot dogs
- Processed meats
- Salad dressing
- Sauces

Nexidia QC v2.3
can now test for and repair out-of-sync captions due to drift. Drift occurs
when time codes are misinterpreted or changed as a result of a frame rate
conversion to meet a delivery specification. For example, a frame rate mismatch
of 29.97 DF (drop frame) versus 29.97 NDF (non-drop frame) will produce a
caption drift of 3.6 seconds per program hour. This presents a problem for many
organizations as the captions at the beginning of the video appear to be
correctly timed, when in fact they are not. Nexidia QC compares the captions
with speech throughout the entire audio file to detect and report these kinds
of timing issues. Nexidia QC can now automatically correct the caption file
As part of
Nexidia QC's language identification function, Nexidia QC v2.3 has an expanded
library of languages and can now distinguish between dialects, such as Latin
American Spanish versus Castilian Spanish.
Nexidia QC v2.3
has added support for STL and EBU-TT, the most widely used caption formats in
Europe. It also fully supports the iTunes Timed Text format
used for distribution to iTunes, enabling it to accommodate all types of media
organizations around the globe.
Nexidia QC v2.3
can also identify the language of the captions displayed on screen regardless
of the audio track or any language metadata included in the caption file. At
the same time, a spell-check function has been incorporated to test for the
proper spelling of captions.
Nexidia QC v2.3 can be used as a stand-alone application or as part
of a unified QC system,
such as Amberfin's UQC platform and workflow automation tools such as
Telestream Vantage, which will demo the software at IBC, as will Dalet. The
product is expected to become available in Q4 2014.

Box Score | Quotes | Notes | USATSI Gallery | Highlights | Bennett Postgame Press Conference | Anderson, Brogdon and Harris Postgame Interviews
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - All night long, with No. 14 Virginia trailing Virginia Tech, Justin Anderson kept thinking the Cavaliers were about to take control. Then instead, the Hokies would make a run.
When just 6 minutes remained on the clock, time was running out for the Cavaliers.
But then Anderson and Joe Harrismade consecutive 3-pointers in the closing minutes Tuesday night, and Virginia used a 24-6 run to erase an 11-point, second-half deficit and beat the struggling Hokies 57-53 for its 10th consecutive victory.
"It felt really good to see a couple of them go through the net when we needed it most," said Anderson, who had missed 19 of his previous 20 attempts from 3-point range.
The first big shot came from Anderson with 3:26 to play, pulling the Cavs to 46-45. After a turnover, Harris connected from deep with 2:39 left, just his second field goal of the game, to give Virginia its first lead since early in the first half. A defensive stop and Anderson's second 3, from virtually the same spot as the first, put the Cavaliers ahead to stay at 51-46.
"I think we're resilient," guard Malcolm Brogdon said after leading Virginia with 12 points on 3-for-11 shooting. "Even if shots don't fall, we've gotten accustomed to winning. Therefore, we find ways to win."
The Cavaliers (22-5, 13-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) made their run after falling behind 40-29. Virginia matched its best start in ACC play - the 1980-81 team was also 13-1.
London Perrantesadded 11 points for the Cavaliers, who clinched a spot in the top four when seeds are set for the ACC tournament.
The Hokies (9-16, 2-11), who ended a 10-game losing streak in their previous outing on Saturday against Miami, got 13 points each from Joey Van Zegeren and Devin Wilson. They lost their fifth in a row in the series, but not before putting a huge scare into their state rivals, and maybe giving themselves something to build on in a season that has been difficult.
"We played with heart. We came out with fight," Van Zegeren said. "We were well prepared. We were mentally very well prepared. I think everybody was focused to win this game. If we bring that to every game, it will help us a lot."
The Hokies led 28-21 at halftime and extended their lead to 30-21 on Van Zegeren's dunk to start the second half. Virginia then scored six in a row, pulling to 30-27 on Anthony Gill's stick-back.
Almost before the Hokies' fans could panic, though, Ben Emelogu hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key, and as the crowd cheered, Virginia Tech kept it going, putting together a 10-2 run to lead 40-29.
Five points by Perrantes and 3-pointers by Harris and Brogdon highlighted a 13-3 burst that pulled the Cavaliers to 43-42. Van Zegeren's dunk and a free throw by Emelogu gave the Hokies a 46-42 edge, setting up the exciting finish.
Virginia Tech trailed 14-13 until Emelogu's free throw sparked a 9-0 run. Wilson had five of the points, including just his 10th 3-pointer of the season, and the Hokies opened a 22-14 lead.
They went 6:29 without a point but never lost the lead because the Cavaliers were in the midst of going 6:53 between field goals. Gill ended that with a three-point play 4:59 before halftime, and Virginia's only basket the rest of the way was a 3-pointer by Brogdon at the halftime buzzer.
