You probly unchecked the box for email updates. The group is still 'inactive' to me. There's no spontaneous discussion going on at any time.
A biggie book still. But beautifully bound.
Okay. You're welcome to rejoin the Internationalistas anytime.Surprised to learn that the editors-librarians group is now inactive. I remember being a member of that and it was fairly active then.Is that version by Burton a complete and unabridged one? How many volumes are they?
Resigned from the group, Chugs?
No, nothing new. The reread just reinforced my fondness for the book. And also made me more aware of cross-references to other books (e.g., the reference to a certain novelist named Arcimboldi).
Thanks, Chugs. I've read it. The "Labyrinth" story too, which I find an experimental exercise, a perfect example of spontaneous realism, a wandering mind at work. Also finished my re-read of TSD.
The Return, yes. A mixed collection for me. I refer only to this story as it is vaguely related to By Night in Chile.
oh, you've finished By Night in Chile. The logical follow-up would be the story "Prefiguration of Lalo Cura".http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2010/04/19/100419fi_fiction_bolano
For a second I thought that came from Pablo Neruda.
Welcome to the True Crime group. Stop by and introduce yourself and tell us what your reading now!
Oui. And the Schwob has a great understated cover too. There's another book (Real and Imagined Portraits, if I'm not mistaken) that RB used as a template for his own cosmology. I like your description of it like a painting, an unusual chiaroscuro, colorful and dark.
Chugs, where'd you find the copy of Imaginary Lives? Any comparison to Nazi Literature in the Americas?
