trouble

After spending about 45 minutes trying to find information on my author, who I have come to find is NOT the Ortega everyone knows of, his name is actually Antonio López-Ortega, I still have yet to find a website with any biographical information. Most of my time was taken up realizing that there is an accent over the O in Lopez, so I had to redo the searching. Unfortunatly, that didn't work. He isn't listed on the Gale Group Literary Resource Center or anything, and google only comes up with prices for his full collection of short stories or with current events regarding someone with his name (maybe even him) and his involvement in some crazy politics. I don't think he is very popular with politicians, especially Dick Cheney these days. But I wouldn't know, as all of the websites are in spanish and the only ones that translate to english either say Dick Cheney does not like him or are trying to sell his collections. Therefore, I am not sure what to do, if I have to go find a new author and new stories or not, because I really like the two stories I found of his. They are in the Vintage Book of Latin American Stories from "Naturalezas Menores". I tried searching for the title of the collection, the title of the short stories, and his name. The only site I could find that looked like it may be an interview with him or biographical information is in spanish. I am going to keep looking or ask you tomorrow what I should do, but for now, here is my blog. It's the best I can do.
