Las Hortensias by Felisberto Hernández
Rise, in lieu of a field guide
Sarah, what we have here is a failure to communicate

Bitchin' covers of Les sept fous [original title: Los siete locos; English title: The Seven Madmen] and Les lance-flammes [original title: Los lanzallamas; English title: _____ ] become even more bitchin' when you stop to consider that the latter novel has yet to make it into English after 80+ years. English language publishers, tsk, tsk.

I have always wanted to be a bomb ass blogger, if not a bitchin' one! xo
ResponderBorrarOff to see what Rise and Sarah have written. Thanks, Richard for being our host, and I'll have to see if I can get my hands on the Arlt novel. That, or brush up on my French.
Arlt's The Seven Madmen is a wild ride, Bellezza, but it's such a wild ride that I'd encourage you to maybe read up on it before buying it: it was pretty in your face for a novel written in 1929! Miguel is another fan of the novel, though, as is Tom/Amateur Reader who wrote about it over at Wuthering Expectations a couple of years ago. Glad to be participating in the Bolaño readalong with you, and glad that your rap/blogger ambitions have finally been realized at last. :D
