its one of those books that make you realize its fucking amazing only after you've finished it.

I hate to sound like such a pleb but I didn't really get the "point" either. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel when the book was over. I never found any dramatic or thematic arcs carried out to conclusion

Out of this thread, fagtrons. This is just one of the pictures that came up when I googled it. It was larger than the others, so I picked it

what's the point of anything my dude
really tho its basically bolano changing just enough of his own past experience so that its fiction, probably meant a fuckton to him but if you dont dig it thats probably fine. try 2666, you might like it better, or don't

>>8390144
What? You mean to say you read it in the original Korean sub-dialect?

Its a better version of On the Road.


I assume you're past Mexicans Lost in Mexico part? I read the entire book in a week when I was in bed with a fever and it all felt like a dream. Once you get to the revolution part (can't remember the name of the woman involved) thats when it really clicked with me.

Should I read SD before 2666?

Its not required but you can if you want. I plowed through all of Bolanos oeuvre I could get my hands on in the span of 6 months so reading 2666 I noticed callbacks to certain themes in his shorts and other works meanwhile being a completely different beast to everything before it.
