Ex Ungue Liar*
Or: Dishonorable Menchu
I've never met J. Malcolm Garcia but I'd love share my own powerful and lyrical fictional non-fiction over three cups of tea and - who knows? -perhaps found a - tee-hee - Menchu dynasty. I'd love even more to put my beliefs into action in the United States, but I'm afraid of becoming a "pen" (geddit?) pal, spending my final days writing ala another Garcia or another Maya or Mayan, "I Know Why The Caged Stool Pigeon Sings," or "One Hundred Years Of Soledad."

Empathy might be a useful word if it were used to mean understanding how another feels, but without any connotation of well-wishing or benevolence. A bit like the old-fashioned sensibility perhaps.
