Fuck off, racist.

jokes on you man for getting filtered by it. this is a 10/10, best novel of all time, even better than 2666. fuck i love it so much

>>18640795
I really liked the first part, but then it got weird with all the different perspectives and time periods or whatever. I liked it when it was just a guy and his friends screwing around in Mexico City

american thread

>>18640795

Hispanics fucking is the greatest thing there is. HispaniCHADS are colonizing the US and even Biden said they will outnumber cucks in the upcoming decades.

there’s a surprising amount of successful erotic and even sexual writing in this book. the bit in pt 1 about a girl’s lap being slimy with cum after fucking all night made me hard

One of the most enjoyable reads I’ve ever had.

I found it insufferable.
At the second part I figure it is just self-indulgent semi autobiographical masturbation about a poet and his poet friends. I forced myself through but I hated the rest of the book.
The adolescent story at the beginning was at least neat.
Do you have to be Mexican to enjoy it?

>>18640795
It seems like a lot of people don’t realize that it’s tongue in cheek. A lot of Bolano characters are being made fun of in a dry and subtle way. I’ve always felt that Bolano made fun of the type of person he was. He sees self aware

>>18646735
It is quite obvious that it is tongue-in-cheek. All the characters in it are pathetic and are meant to be teenagers who think they know the world. But that does not make the book any more interesting to read.
I could not care less about a homage to Bolano's recently deceased friend and his travels around Europe.

>>18646735
Even Belano and Lima know what they're doing is futile and utterly useless, they create the visceral realists in order to chase after a dream that can't really be realised and attempt to make sense of the world along the way via poetry

>>18646735
/lit/ always has a hard time understanding this. the people here are actually autistic im not surprised anymore.

You should avoid anything written by latinos. Doesn't matter if gusano or pinko, they will always make your day worse.

>>18641723
You could tell Bologna wrote it with one hand.

Worthless book by a worthless author, please tell me has already died of covid?

>>18647876
I've read many other latinos/hispanics who were good, Bolaño just isn't one of them. He sucks donkey balls.

>>18647771
No one is saying you have to like the book. Complaining that you don’t like the characters is a 20 year old girl on goodreads tier

>>18648921
Okay: the style, plot and everything else also sucked.

>>18648944
It's amazing how dubs choose to show themselves only on the truest of posts.

>>18646735
True about Bolaño's humor. It's still a pretty annoying read. About half of the characters are insufferable in either personality or style

>>18640795
that's literally the best part of the book, give up now

>>18641942
qué basado que estás amigo. que edición es esa? se ve muy linda

>>18649494
nah, the best part of the book is with Auxilio Lacouture in the bathroom of the university

It's one of the most special and unique books I've ever read, top 5. I liked it even more than 2666, which I liked a fuckton.

I enjoyed the first part, but it changes and shifts into a sort of episodic mode with dozens of different narrators in different times and places. It's heartbreakingly beautiful and I hope my shilling encourages someone to read it.

>>18640795
Another drooling moron posts about a book before actually finishing it.

>>18651792
are you retarded?

At least better than DfuckingWallace.

No Latin American has ever produced anything of worth.

>>18649757
Not him but that's just debolsillo, pretty common and rather comfy edition

>Do you have to be Mexican to enjoy it?
Not really, afaik. It just makes parts of the setting clearer.
>At the second part I figure it is just self-indulgent semi autobiographical masturbation about a poet and his poet friends.
A lot of the POVs are annoying, but it's less self indulgent than you think. Bolaño was poking fun at his friends and himself.
>The adolescent story at the beginning was at least neat.
I agree. I supposse it's a bit of a bait and switch, tonally, and I understand. But I would have been happy with more of it.
