The prose bits and poetic pieces sure bump against each other to form different configurations.

Well, certainly the fist two - I particularly like your first quote from Autumn in Gerona. Will keep a lookout for this in the library. One of these days I'll get around to trying The Savage Detectives, a book I picked up at a table sale for the princely sum of £1.

I picked up two of the few (supposedly lesser) works by him I haven't yet read--at half price new!--and then went home to find this post awaiting me. Glad to hear you enjoyed these three poems or pseudo poems so much since this is another volume by B still unread/unowned by me. "Bolaño is learning how to use and maim the methodologies and revelation of other writers; making something that became his." Sounds exciting! Thanks, too, for your kind words about Spanish Lit Month. It's very rewarding to hear such enthusiasm for the event from one of my favorite bloggers.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.com
