The author of the classic The Centaur in the Garden, he himself felt like a centaur. “At home, you speak Yiddish, eat gefilte fish and celebrate Shabbat,” Scliar once said. “But in the streets, you have soccer, samba and Portuguese. After a while you feel like a centaur.”  Ilan Stavans, Scliar's longtime friend and the Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College, celebrates his life and work with reminiscences, readings, and more.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:2 PM
