I keep getting distracted by things like, "Man, I fucking love this passage."

I've always been interested as to how the novel maps out Mexico City; I thought about comparing it to how Boston gets mapped in Infinite Jest, but I can see it in Ulysses, too.

That's actually not at all what I'm talking about but it sounds really interesting, I sort of see it.

I miss you guys

And this poem does things to me:


I’ll give you an abyss, she said,
but so subtly you will only notice it
after many years have passed
and you’re far from Mexico and from me.
You will discover it when you need it most,
and that won’t be
the happy ending,
but it will be an instant of emptiness and joy.
And maybe then you’ll remember me,
though not much.

Have you Bolaño idiots read the manifesto yet? I'd forgotten about it and re-read it today. It's fantastic on so many levels.

Do you hate Bolano's poetry? Then you'll really hate this!

Honestly, the stories in that collection are only okay (title story is the best, I think), but the essay "Literature+Illness=Illness" is unfuckwithable. Pretty much Bolaño explicitly stating his aesthetic views.

So there's a farm-to-market road just west of Shepherd, TX numbered 2666. I rode on it last weekend with some friends on my way back from camping nearby. The road was a lot prettier than the name suggested, which was a big letdown.

I won't be cracking the new one until I do a ton of overdue work and finish the new Wallace. So not for a while :-(

I think Bolaño would have made a great young adult novelist; he writes adolescence very well (I'm thinking specifically about the "Anna & Jordi" sections of the new book, which is where I am right now). For the record, I'm glad he wasn't a YA novelist (but some of these things might be good to read with high school or young college students, for example).
