wrote a review and I logged out from a different tab, losing the review A birthday present from my Mexican friend! Came in the mail yesterday 100 pages in: The characters are starting to become like strangers again. You get to know them originally, then they cease acting the way you expect. But, in other novels you'd have that seem to be a kind of bad writing, where the characters are not reliably themselves. In this work, though, that's interesting and paves the way for major changes later, when they seemingly head to Mexico, where their small world of books, nice hotels and good food will give way to the deserts of the borderlands. Similar to Murakami, in how both of them use similar thematic material from novel to novel, starting with very good books, then continuing to perfect them until you get these masterpieces. Both seem able to pull the symbolic (and often, creepy) value out of daily life. There are extended tangents that add a lot to the work. The writing in both is very dry, unemotional, and both find these romantic relationships that are unsual and provide the means for us to look at sex and love again in a new way. One critic said ''he is able to glamourize sex and love'', and another ''if you snacked on Murakami, you'll feast on Bolano.'' It's not so epic yet, but with t upcoming voyage to Mexico and te lingering mystery of the writer, there's ample opportunity for him to stretch things out, as I know he will. --- 300 pages in I wonder if the 4 critics will return again or not. I wouldn't count on it. Since I last wrote, a succession of characters, and stories within stories. One critic I noticed said to compare this with Moby Dick. I notice that Bolano might be considered in the hysterial realism realm. The amount of detail sometimes touches DFW proportions, though not for a sustained period of time. He very rarely does more than present the basics, in fact, with the few obtuse analogies -- ''brown dust the color of baby shit''. Rarely do I feel like he's leading us to draw certain expected conclusions. The tone has remained the same, not like you get with Toni Morrisson and the very standard, traditional narrative with brief crazy postmodern sections interspersed. The diction I expected to remain high the entire book, starting with the 4 critics, but it's not been at all. Very readable, very few big words, things most people would be able to relate to. But this is still just 1/3 in. The most interesting metamorphosis of this novel, to me, came when the ex-Panther man is giving his sermon, talking about the 5 things, food, usefulness, stars, etc. I wondered what led Bolano to incorporate this... and if this is a legitimate person? But it was done well. Like Murakami, a lot of his principal characters are more observers than partakers. Soon the halfway point! Looking at the italian version on the Goodreads page, i see something interesting : ''the part about fate'', Fate is not translated. SO this answers a question, of whether Oscar Fate was written that way in the original Spanish version, and it seems likely. It wasn't a Spanish word that also was translated, and since it's not in Spanish in the original, that means it's something subtle that not every reader might pick up on. HM.... --- @500 After so much individual portraits have emerged, I'd say the overall impact has been to evaluate what they have in common. And what that is, is that each character comes into contact with the murders in Northern Mexico and decide not to act. More specifically, most of them hear it, and immediately don't care. And the reason for this seems to be, Bolano presents us with these specialized people -- boxing enthusiasts, german literature enthusiasts, young people going out to party--alcohol enthusiasts you might say-- and we get the image that they've all grown blind to anything outside of their individual sphere. By extension, we've likely done that, as well. And so, the next 250 pages, the biggest section of the entire book, Bolano purposely takes us to that, a case by case history of exactly what's happened there. the implication is, how can anything be more important than this? Knowing some people from these places, makes the reading a lot worse. Each girl mentioned, ends up with the face of my two Cristinas, one of which did experience sexual violence of this sort, but lived to survive it. I've set the book down for a bit, this part is too difficult for me right now to make it through in one go. Interested now, in the remaining 400 pages, what's left, how he wraps it all up (or not). ---- Last 400 pages, how do I feel? This was compared to Murakami. It has similar aspects, but Murakami seems more able to sustain a certain mood for the length of his novels, and the aura of mystery endures. Here I felt like the mystery part begins the story, but it doesn't continue to be of interest after the first half. I liked everything I read -- it's going to take a long time to process what the book means. But that's fine, it's maybe more important less in plot and more the way certain moments will remain with you forever.
