Acabo de terminar de leer Los Detectives Salvajes de Bolaño. Debo decir que la historia en general es increíble y la prosa está sumamente bien escrita. Me gusta mucho como el lector siempre ve a los protagonistas desde afuera.

Fácilmente se convirtió en uno de mis libros favoritos y uno de los mejores que he leído en un largo tiempo.

Súper recomendado para quien se encuentre en un bloqueo y busque un libro atrapante y original.

I’m reading four books at the same time, halfway through #Bolaño’s 2666, and already eyeing up the next book I want to read (Émile Zola Germinal, I picked up a copy for 4€). Too many #books, not enough time!

I’ve been cancelling plans to read more.This is unsustainable and needs to stop. Why do I pick such long books to read???

#Bolano's #2666 was on my reading list for a long time, and its the kind of a book I really really want to like. But somehow, its just not clicking.

Finally finished rereading 2666. It is as astonishing as ever. I found the part about the bodies exceptionally hard going this time. I think that this is because I was reading better. It is hard to say why Bolaño is so good. I think that it is in part because he is eschews realism except for horror. When he does do realism it is not pornographic. Realism of the ugly is hard, if not impossible, because art invites us to linger but the ugly repels. Most people who write violence make it 'inviting', hence pornographic. Bolaño, with his belief in literature, is somehow able to great a literary world where truth is the threshold of beauty.
