I imagine Orwell would be a hot topic of conversation. Can't make it to the Teachers' Club myself, or the the Instituto Cervantes for that matter. Maybe if someone else does they might let us know (he says chancing his arm). Thanks a million for posting this Anarchaeologist. I imagine Orwell would be a hot topic of conversation.

I snuck in the back door for a few of the lectures in Trinity and called in this afternoon on a round table discussion on <em>Los mitos y leyendas de la Brigada XV</em>, the Brigade in which most Irish volunteers served, be it with the Lincolns or the British. The discussion featured Antonio R. Celada and Daniel Pastor García, who with Manuel González de la Aleja published <em>Los Internationales</em>, a huge volume on the English-speaking volunteers in the SCW, originally published in Spanish but now just published in English. Also on the panel was Richard Baxell, author of <em>British Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War</em>. Most of the proceedings being in Spanish, I can't deliver much intelligence on whether the myths or the legends won out, however there appeared to be a rather heated discussion on Orwell at one point. As part of the conference, and for those who can't make the Teachers' Club tomorrow night, Roma will be speaking at a lunchtime meeting at the <em>Café Literario</em> in the <em>Instituto Cervantes</em> on Lincoln Place from 13.00 tomorrow (Thursday). Thanks Donagh for posting this.
