What's his deal with Nazis? He thinks Hitler went to Chile or what?

Well, I mean, Nazis DID sneak off to the southern parts of Latin America. I guess he never fully recovered from that fact.
His Nazis are metaphorical. They are literary commentaries. He explains it in an interview. You can find it on youtube.
I don't know if BolaƱo thought Hitler came to Chile, but I know old fascist movements in Chile thought fictional native american figures in this region were basically Spartans from ancient Greece/descendants of Aeneas.
He was born in Chile in the mid twentieth century, how could he not right about fascism? Why would you expect it to not be on his mind?

Bobby Balanoh's works have been translated into English, ya jabroni.
The nazis went to Argentina, so it's natural a Chilean would try to steal them.

>how could he not right about fascism?
isn't he being a melodramatic fag by comparing Pinochet to Hitler?
What an awful thread about the GOAT writer.
OP, have you read Nazi Literature or Estrella Distante?

Pinochet was a right cunt by his own merits, no need to compare him to Hitler at all desu

A man who slaughtered people by hordes in stadiums sounds pretty bad senpai
Only reason we still talk about Hitler is that the Jews haven't stopped whining about it for 70 fucking years

Both are pretty good, desu, so whichever you want, whichever you think sounds more appealing.
