I assume he'll make more appearances in the last section, being that he's now been asked to investigate on Kelly Parker's disappearance.<br /><br />I'm quite interested in reading Gonzalez's book now, although it seems like it would bore me. :D<br /><br />I don't remember Javier Cercas! I should look it up again.. lol.clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-17051930956739357602009-08-28T09:27:02.475-04:002009-08-28T09:27:02.475-04:00*Hola Mariano: Sí, ese fragmento es muy duro.

En cuanto a la quarta parte en general, me gusta lo que has dicho acerca de "la parte del libro más cruda y por ende real": mis pensamientos exactos también. Un abrazo.<br /><br />*Hi E.L. Fay: Sergio is indeed a real person, a journalist just like his character in the book. I forgot to mention it in my post, but Bolaño himself also appears as a character in Javier Cercas' superb 2001 <em>Soldados de Salamina</em> from Spain. I don't have a problem with the "ethics" of this technique myself, but I'd be interested in hearing why bloggers might get so bent out of shape about it (esp. over someone as inconsequential as Laura Bush!). To answer your question about SGR in <em>2666</em>, I think he was actually a pretty important character; in addition to his function as a bridge between the stories about the church desecrator and the killings of women, he's one of the journalists who later interviews the suspected German serial killer in prison and is the reporter urged on by the powerful politician at the end of the book to continue bringing the crimes to the public's attention using the fruits of her research. Hope this helps--thanks for the visit!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-9136421136696603492009-08-27T18:14:48.538-04:002009-08-27T18:14:48.538-04:00Sergio González Rodríguez was a real person then? ...Sergio González Rodríguez was a real person then? That's interesting because I just read a post on another blog questioning the ethics of using real, living people as characters in fiction. (She brought up <i>American Wife</i>, which was basically a fictionalized retelling of Laura Bush's life.) I don't quite recall what Rodríguez's role in <i>2666</i> was. Did he just appear that one time or was he more involved?<br /><br />I should probably re-read some of this book before writing about it. The characters kind of blurred for me.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058705381647529328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-42571086180404332932009-08-27T09:20:59.996-04:002009-08-27T09:20:59.996-04:00Realmente me impresionó mucho el fragmento que aca...Realmente me impresionó mucho el fragmento que acabas de poner. qué miseria la del hombre no? imagino, debe ser la parte dle libro más cruda y por ende real. ya lo tengo el la compu,<br />saludosmario skanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220722326589539357noreply@blogger.com
