That's the Goodreads rating. Not mine. As you can see, my rating is blank.

To give a serious answer, The Savage Detectives by Bolaño, friend. Most impressive polyphonic novel that I have encountered, prismatically painting Bolaño's written alter ego in over 50+ distinct voices in the most transient and impermanent tone.

What did you think of it? What was the aspect of it that most stood out to you? In my opinion it is infinitely readable, another facet of it becoming prominent with each go-through.

I love the diegetic vs mimetic differences in narration achieved through the overlay of uncertain sources (i.e. the first narrator, the manuscript, the translator of the manuscript, etc.). The narratorial voice is then allowed to explore its full range of possibilities due to this unknown "author" which lets you get scenes like Don Quixote throwing up after smelling Sancho's shit alongside grand soliloquies on la andante caballería.

You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

I actually know exactly what I'm talking about. I wrote my undergraduate thesis on diegetic narration in Don Quixote.

>I wrote my undergraduate thesis on diegetic narration in Don Quixote.
Is this intended to support the stance that you know what you're talking about?

>>8380427
Don't know what to tell you. That is exactly how Cervantes is able to play with the narratorial voice (the diegetic) allowing different situations of characters' interactions (the mimetic) to occur.

Have you read Don Quixote?
