Can never think of Dorothy Parker w/o remembering what she apparently said to her publisher - “Tell him I was too fucking busy-- or vice versa.” 😈

^^ This is from a historian talking about post Trujillo era in the Dominican Republic. It applies to many countries, my own - India, as well.

I am reading @alexvont.bsky.social's book Fallen Idols.

(Another good to read to know more about Trujillo is Mario Vargas Llosa's Feast of the Goat.)
