Qué hubiera pasado si Salinger, en vez de recluirse, hubiera montado un bar en Malasaña (La Catrina)? Pues que no podéis saberlo porque está temporalmente cerrado por acoso del virus 'MuyKansino2020', pero podéis consolaros comprando la muy oportuna reedición de un clásico: BAR, de Caimán Montalbán.

In the footsteps of Liang & Lin 01

So many factors can contribute to make Public Sculpture, anywhere in the world, an area full of monstrosities. It's specially true in China, where the concept of 'public' is monopolised by the party. This is one of the very few exceptions.

The sculpture itself, the spot where is placed and the person it's dedicated to are all remarkable. I've never seen anything this good, from 'after liberation' (1949), anywhere else in China.

This sculpture is dedicated to Lin Huiyin, and the place is the West Lake in Hangzhou. The location is just insuperable and it shows the appreciation she is granted in Hangzhou, her native town, they've done her justice. Hangzhou is one of the few cities in China that has managed to retain it's extraordinary good taste, which is even more remarkable when you consider who is at the top.

Lin Huiyin was a poet and the first Chinese female architect, wife of Liang Sicheng, author of the first history of Chinese Architecture. The list of their achievements is too long to relate here. Their story is both fascinating and tragic, like China itself. Maya Lin, the architect, is their niece.
