¿Por qué nunca nadie aquí, en /lit/, habla de esta cosa tan

This is a mostly english speaking board brother. But yes, I'm an argie too and this novel when I read it as a teenager pretty much scarred me for life. In a good way. Sublime literature. Too bad for those who miss out.

>>8297597
we had this in high school but our teacher decided it would be better to instead read cien anos de soledad and aura de carlos fuentes.
Is it worth the pickup?

>>8297657
Yeah, read it. In my opinion, the Sabato's writting style is similar to Roberto Bolaño's style. It funny sometimes and pretty savage.

>>8297657
by all means read it. This novel is high literature. Definitely underrated by world standards although it's an established classic here in Argentina.

Sabato es un imbécil. Incapaz de nada original y un divulgador de octava.
No sé sobre El Tunel, pero sus libros en general (La Resistencia en particular) me hace querer vomitar.

Piece o' shit.

Read El Túnel, reread Héroes y Tumbas, and then read Abaddón el exterminador, his masterpiece and one of the best Latinamerican books ever.

He was 89 years old at the time of La Resistencia. Did you read ANY of his fictions?

>>8297885

there's nothing remarkable in him as a philosopher

>>8297752

Their styles are not similar at all.

How hard to read is Sabato ? Spanish isn't my first language so I'd like to know if I can understand him. How do this book and El Túnel compare with stuff like Las Batallas en el desierto or Pedro Páramo in terms of accessibility ?

>>8297752
Bolaño is good.
Sabato is shit.

>>8297996
Sabato's prose in spanish is the equivalent to Dan Brown in english.
If you can read Pedro Paramo, you can definitely read Sabato.

WTF 2

Sick high school Spanish OP

of course the tunnel isn't as good, you're comparing sabato's 400+ page magnum opus to an average-at-best 200 page novel he wrote more than ten years earlier

it's like comparing don quixote to whatever other irrelevant novel cervantes wrote before it

>>8297996
bumping for answer

>>8299575
Start with El Tunel if you haven't read it yet. Sobre Heroes.... may be a little more complicated. Not in the language but the plot of the novel itself. Spanish not being your first language this could still be a burden. But if you don't think so just go for it

>>8299575
I read El Tunel in high school, it's not difficult at all, it's a straight story pretty much.
Pedro Paramo should be a much harder read if you're not familiar with the language.

>>8297597
That Sabato's obssesion with blind people. And he died blind.

>>8298945
Novelas Ejemplares is a masterpiece you piece of shit.
>Duh Cervantes only wrote Don Quijote and Göthe only wrote Faust lel
