You’d expect to find a fan letter to Bruce Springsteen in a blog. But would you expect to find it over two pages in El País? That’s where I found one yesterday. It had appeared first in The New York Times on September 30, to mark the release of Springsteen’s new album, Magic. It’s by A O Scott, who is as perceptive as he is enthusiastic. What’s more, reading translation and original in alternate bursts makes Spanish homework a lot more interesting than usual.
