Goodbye, Montreal -- you have inspired me beyond reason. Thank you to all the amazing staff and volunteers of the Blue Metropolis Literary Festival for creating such a smooth and gorgeous event. Thank you to the students of my Ecstasy of Influence writing workshop--your passion and enthusiasm made that room crackle for six hours straight; keep writing! Thank you to the readers who brought their listening ears and warmth and love of books. Thank you to my fellow writers, your unparalleled generosity, the rambling conversations, the laughter, the whiskey, I learn from and am nourished by all of you--Luis Alberto Urrea, Carlos Labbé, Eduardo Lago, Ondjaki, David Foenkinos, Richard Ford, Iosi Havilio, Dany Laferriére....thank you. I fly home to Uruguay buoyed by the knowledge that, all over the world, literature is alive and well.
