Hi Olivia.

Hi, Katie.

1953, Santiago, Chile. Ooh, Katie. 1953 Santiago, Chile.

Ooh, cool.

Nikonor Parra, a renowned physicist, cosmologist, and a poet.

He's just returned home to Santiago after two years studying in Oxford.

He sits surrounded by piles of paper, like a true scholar. He's pouring over

these century-old Chilean poems, sort of like broadside ballads, and he's searching for the vestiges

of a lost Chilean past. And I relate to him so much because this is exactly what I did for my dissertation, writing about Tudor musicians.

These broadside ballads are like these treasures of the past because it's oral tradition that happen to get printed.

He's studying away when in walks his sister, Violetta.

What you're reading? And he tells her.
