Writers: Roberto Bolaño
you have read anything yet Bolaño but obviously, I've heard a lot about him. This conversation in between John Villoro Filber, Alan Pauls and I think Horacio Castellanos Moya very interesting: " Roberto Bolaño: The writer insufribl and"
Some relevant sentences:
* With Roberto Bolaño has been something very curious, and we have had the opportunity to see how to construct a real-time classic. It was like a "reality" of posterity. (John Villoro)
* [Bolan] was absolutely sure to be a valuable writing. (John Villoro)
* I get the impression that Bolaño was a fan of Borges and Cortazar wrote. I think maybe Bolaño Borges used to protect themselves from the risks of Cortázar, to be Cortazarian in the best sense of the word and not the worst. As a kind of system Borges precautions. (Alan Pauls)
* I think there's also a writer who has the luxury largely, but not without putting aside and move far out of their national literature and understand Latin America as a place where he chooses and takes what he wants. (Horacio Castellanos Moya)
* A writer we read of a way, with certain criteria, with an interest and, suddenly, becoming myth, there is a myth. And when the whole publishing industry and the large marketers are working on creating this myth, we will have surprises. (Horacio Castellanos Moya)
* Once a journalist asked: "Why do you always take the opposite?". And he said: "I never took the opposite." (John Villoro) Bolaño
* I think is fairly unique in that it is a writer who invented it, we might say, a relatively unheard world. (Alan Pauls)
Bolaño books to read
* For me there are two Bolaños: one is the one that closes, somehow, the cycle of the great Latin American novel, and in that sense, The Savage Detectives is a bit novel closes, and then there is the other Bolaño, which is to 2666 , which for me is someone who opens something. (Alan Pauls)
