This is "comfy" to you OP? I've never read so many instances of the phrase "vaginally raped" together in one text and I used to read about serial killers for fun

That is part of the novel. But far from the whole thing. The academics discussing books and stuff is peak comfy.

it's not just "part of the novel", it's a big hefty portion of it right in the middle. And the discussions of literature in the first and last parts are punctuated by graphic acts, the beating of a taxi driver, world war 2, the crucifixion of that romanian general, I don't know. If you get a warm feeling despite that then good on you. Personally, I could never get /comfy/, it always felt like a dark undercurrent was running through all the conversations, that each kindly repartee on literature was a calm within a storm

If you think that's shocking, never read picrel. But anyway I feel like the german serial killer made it comfy, like he was the actual hero of the story.

It isn't high literature that's for sure. The problem with Mexico continues to be colonialism and the self-hatred the elites have for the Mexican masses which they manifest by continuing to cudgel them with a perverse false consciousness that they are inferior because of their mixed ascendance. The racist domination of the consciousness of the masses must be done away with vis an authentically socialist mass media that builds up the Mexican mass consciousness as opposed to the constant denigration to which it is presently subjected by always being unfavorably compared to the white phenotypes tat they would allege are in such short supply vin Mexico.

I have read it and I was not impressed. Bolaño was aiming to be another Gunter Grass, but falls exceedingly short.

>> No.17620650

Juan de Dios Martínez mused on why bad 2666 was. Juan de Dios Martínez had no idea why Bolanos would simply just repeat Juan de Dios Martínez every second line. Juan de Dios Martínez realized this must be the reason the book is excruciatingly long and boring. Juan de Dios Martínez smiled.
