Happy birthday Pablo! And could it be true that there is not a single book by Corin Tellado in English? If that's so it's definitely another record. Barbara Cartland wrote only 700+ novels. Offenbach only 100 operas. There's apparently a lot of misinformation on the internet about prolific authors: L. Ron Hubbard had only a few past 1,000; same with Ryoki Inoue. Does any of this suggest an exhibition?
thanks Jim. You might be right-- her Wikipedia page says that her books have been translated into several languages but I can't seem to find a novel of hers in English- nor have I ever bothered to get one in Spanish, to be honest. And yes, it might not be true what Wikipedia says about her 4,000 titles, but then again by "novel" I believe they count fairly thin pamphlets/stories. The subject of prolific artists does merit a bit of research and I am sure we can find many examples in the visual arts (Picasso did make 40,000 works or so). An exhibition about this might be possible, but how big would it have to be? ;-)
Bravo Pablo! And Feliz Cumpleanos…wonderful read and so very grateful for the poem!
