Great to meet another interesting woman! I like the quote "It's good to be wandering pilgrim. Feeling alien in every city where you live gives you more emotional contact." (For this and other quotes: best put the ref right behind it.) Good sources, all Spanish but accepted AGF from the author of ten articles supporting TFA Carl Nielsen. The hook is fine and sourced. Could you perhaps include her interest in Jewish philosophy and theater (or whatever you pick), to show more of her broad approach to culture? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:00, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thank you! (and yes, I loved the quote) Maybe the easiest way to expand her hook is to include Edmond Jabès? SusunW (talk) 15:33, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that Mexican writer Esther Seligson translated the works of Romanian philosopher Emile Michel Cioran and Egyptian Jewish poet Edmond Jabès?

Thank you, that is great! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:38, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

There is no source for Seligson translating Edmond Jabès. Yoninah (talk) 15:35, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I believe you are mistaken @Yoninah: the source cited states: "Traductora de Emmanuel Levinas, E. M. Cioran, Edmond Jabés, Virginia Woolf, Marguerite Yourcenar, entre muchos otros." SusunW (talk) 15:44, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Oh, now I see it, in footnote 4. That citation that you inserted after "Egyptian Jewish poet" threw me off. Restoring tick per Gerda Arendt's review. Yoninah (talk) 18:47, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
