Episode 40 - "2666" by Roberto Bolaño (Parts 1 & 2)

¡Hola, los amigos des libros! In the first episode of the Summer Season, the Book Banditos, Ben and John, head south of the border to chat about Roberto Bolaño's magnum opus: "2666". Is the tone of this description a meta commentary on Bolaño's portrayal of hapless literati facing the true horror at the heart of the world? You'll have to listen to find out! In this episode, the first of four, we discussed "The Part About the Critics" and "The Part About Amalfitano". Topics of conversation include Bolaño's use of genre elements to develop tone, a psychoanalytic reading of the behavior of bourgeoisie academics, and the magickal power of the Western Canon. As always, we hope that you enjoy our conversation!
