The Blk Tent

May 15, 2021 by Nya Etienne

November 1, 2019 by Mili Mansaray

 Nicolás Parodi speaks in a manner of brisk assurance, his voice bursting through the phone in a succession of crisp quips, despite the torrent of honks and footsteps emanating from the city he paces through.

You encounter it everywhere: sitting in a crowded lecture hall, walking down Waverly Place, and even in the quiet study rooms of Bobst.  A quick puff of smoke followed by the sickeningly sweet smell of mango.

My Grandfather and I Like to Sit on the Patio

June 14, 2017 by Maria Gonzalez

He enjoys reading “La Nación,” a conservative Costa Rican newspaper, while I would take “Revista Dominical,” a weekly supplement about culture.
