Ambiguamente se hace patente aquí la dimensión "política" de un Bolaño que en sus últimos días se enfrenta directamente con el trauma que fue sus años en Chile durante la dictadura. Libro esencial, ESCENCIAL en la comprensión del enigma, como lo es y sigue siendo Archimboldi, que es Roberto Bolaño.Hiram Yunquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829846634608923023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-30459354680740592032009-08-07T01:10:55.608-04:002009-08-07T01:10:55.608-04:00Lu, thanks so much--glad you enjoyed the post!

Such an informative, amazing post. Plus, I need to work on my Spanish before classes start in the fall. I really wish I had this one in Spanish, to read and compare. <br /><br />I thought the Seaman speech was great.

Again the double and triple references and multiple layers in this book just blow me away. <br /><br />And then there's the Lynch factor, I keep wondering when the dwarf is going to show up.<br /><br />Thanks for your great review.Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865699135545209220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-44648990935795434602009-08-03T01:48:29.659-04:002009-08-03T01:48:29.659-04:00Hola Ever: Che, muchas gracias por tu comentario. ...Hola Ever: Che, muchas gracias por tu comentario.

Very interested in seeing your thoughts on Part 4.<br /><br />*Claire: Thanks, hugs are always appreciated! I wasn't sure what I was going to write about this time up until the last minute, but "the sea is the danger" was such an enigmatic quote that I couldn't get it out of my head. Thanks once again for co-hosting the read-along, it's been great fun.<br /><br />*E.L. Fay: My guess is that a lot of the people who read the Seaman speech will be bothered by its size or amount of detail, so I don't think you'll be alone in the way you reacted to it initially. I loved it so much, though, that I naturally hope you'll give it another try at some point!<br /><br />*Mariano: Estoy recontento saber de tu decisión y estoy seguro que vos lo comprarás este librazo sin remordimientos. En cuanto a lo de leerlo por etapas, para mí, ha sido un plan perfectamente adecuado. Gracias por tu comentario sobre la entrada. ¡Un abrazo!<br /><br />*Frances: Wow, thanks! I'm glad you also loved the Seaman speech and the pop culture references. And the stuff about movies was awesome, you're right. In terms of trying to pin down some of the specific examples, sounds like a good idea to me. Anyway, thanks for the visit and welcome to the blog!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-50598704266876680182009-08-01T20:10:51.276-04:002009-08-01T20:10:51.276-04:00You just wowed me with this post.

I also thought it was a stroke of writing genius in form and the level of intimacy it achieves with the reader. Read it twice.<br /><br />The other thing we share is an interest in the film references here. The whole Rodriguez first film thing? Hilarious! I wonder if by the end of this read we could put our heads together to examine the many pop culture (esp. counter culture) references scattered about?Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597485569740436880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-16948772324358906012009-08-01T11:30:52.628-04:002009-08-01T11:30:52.628-04:00Decidido, voy a comprar ese libro, es demasiado gr...Decidido, voy a comprar ese libro, es demasiado grande como para leerlo de la pantalla, aunque te cuento que leí varios. mi compañera leyó 900 hojas del harry potter 3 de la pantalla que todavía no era lcd.<br />Tengo la impresión que es para leerlo por etapas,ya me aluciné con los detectives ahora espero por este.<br />grandes tus conexines de lectura Richard.<br />saludosmario skanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220722326589539357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-14819158030708766422009-08-01T11:30:20.924-04:002009-08-01T11:30:20.924-04:00I seem to be alone in my ambivalent reaction to &q...I seem to be alone in my ambivalent reaction to "The Part About Fate." After reading what everyone else has written about it, I think I may need to re-read it. But thanks for your commentary on the Seaman speech. It makes more a little more sense now.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058705381647529328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-12218162588609914142009-08-01T04:47:17.577-04:002009-08-01T04:47:17.577-04:00Can I hug you for this post? :) Seriously, thanks ...Can I hug you for this post? :) Seriously, thanks for the insight on the Black Panthers, Sonoran jazz, and especially Bobby Seale. I get speechless about the numerous layers of this book. Every angle has a different history attached.<br /><br />I was also struck by "the sea is the danger," how you said what attracts us is dangerous. Was fascinated by Seaman's speech on the five things. In fact, I was fascinated with everything about this section. Excellent post, it cleared up so many things for me!clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-37309766210383676752009-08-01T02:07:32.462-04:002009-08-01T02:07:32.462-04:00I LOVED that Seaman speech, as well.

The part about reading and usefulness (which I'm getting the impression is one of the more quoted passages of the book, but deservedly!) totally made me tear up.<br /><br />Also great review! You point out some connections that didn't occur to me at the time; the International Circus in particular. I have a feeling that MANY such connections will be made when I re-read. <br /><br />I'm so bloody anxious to discuss Part 4! It's the one that kind of threw me for a loop. Not in a bad way necessarily, but...well, I'll leave it for a month from now. :-)Emilyhttp://www.eveningallafternoon.comnoreply@blogger.com
