One of my favorite living writers is set to have his birthplace opened to the public after years of restoration. Next month literary pilgrims will be able to visit the much expanded house in Aracataca, Columbia.
Though there's little chance that I can get there anytime soon, I do wonder what he thinks of the historic site and its restoration.
Why preserve a literary birthplace? Why visit one?
