And?

Bolaño is dead and has been translated so...

What are the chances of op being a girl who felt compelled to say this just after looking at the photo?

0% your gay imagination betrays you
>>25054420
The greatest author will NEVER be a spic lmao

he is literally fatphobic tho

>>25054240
Good. I don't want to read him, anyways.

>>25054428
Said the gay

>>25054420
Bolaño is not even the greatest author of Chile, or the best author who lived in Mexico

>>25054429
Based. Fatties should die.

>>25054240
if he can't be read In English he's not worth reading, plain and simple :^)

>>25054483
>greatest author of Chile
Donoso
>best author who lived in Mexico
Rulfo although that "lived in" caveat might sway it.

>>25054240
Harry Potter is not an author.

>>25054521

Yeah buddy and your indie fan game that isn't even on steam is the peak of gaming. Face it, all real literature is in English. It is the criterion for being taken seriously.

>>25054240
>still hasn't been translated into english.
who is he? i will translate him

Who the fuck is that

>>25054878
>Yeah buddy and your indie fan game that isn't even on steam is the peak of gaming.
With the state of gaming, I believe this.

>>25054240
>translated into english
Why would the supposed greatest works in literature need to be translated from English to English?

>>25054878
>indie fan game that isn't even on steam is the peak of gaming
yeah it's called OFF (classic version)

wow, he's so cute. i'm in love (no homo)

>>25055804
He's Chud Thundercock

someone post the whole interview please

>>25057944
I couldn't find the Apostrophes discussion but this channel has a few interviews subbed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN0niLMQwFI

>>25054240
I went to his gallery a bunch of times and he always had hot girls there and I once went to see Rocco and His Brothers at a cinema in the neighbourhood and there was a guy who was a regular at his art gallery there wearing a baseball cap inside and he had his legs laid on the empty seats in front of him and kept hysterically laughing at bits of dialogue that weren't even that funny

>>25058864
the gist of it is that apostrophes are the same as closing single quotes. sometimes a word processor will get it wrong and use opening quotes, but it should always be closing quotes

>>25058864
il n'avait qu'à lire Tzara, le pauvre vieux
et il pourrait en profiter pour relire Mont de Piété et Champ Magnétique de Breton au passage (on ne passe pas de Saint Pol Roux à Artaud lol)

>>25058864
Great translation of a great interview. He truly is a master of writing literature aurally in interviews. I should translate his greatest interviews and post them here

>>25058895
lmao sounds like quite a night

>>25059189
By all means

>>25054240
Steven Hawkins was literally from England, retard

>>25054240

There are no great beaners. None. In any field. No great inventors. No great scientists. And no great writers. Some shitty poetry doesn't count. A race of mediocrity.

i fucking hate stack charts so much idk how the ppl who constantly whine about pie charts don't call these pieces of shit out

>>25054240
Putain Nabe, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time! I’m speaking like 20 years…
His dad was jazzman who wrote Brigitte Bardo’s song "tu veux ou tu veux pas?".
Last time I saw Nabe on TV he said to everyone they were now immortal because he was going to write about them in his diary and since he was such a great author his diaries will be studied in the future.
He became persona non grata I don’t remember why and published by putting his printed pamphlets in some rich part of Paris.
What is that idiot up to those days anyway ?

>>25060779
so what are his politics? is he one of those white muslim convert rightoids that unironically want sharia law?

Ive heard about him a few times but never about any of his books

>>25060887
I can't tell desu. It's hard to know when he's serious or just taking the piss. I think he's more on the left, but he never struck me as authoritarian, and he's got no problem praising fascist authors like Lucien Rebatet or fervent Catholics like Leon Bloy.

>>25060887
Historically, he did indeed come from the very far left in the 70s, went to a communist elementary school, but arguably became a fascist by the time he started writing books. If we were to assign an ideology to his politics, it would be what is referred to in France as "anar de droite", meaning right wing anarchist. He's even cited on the french wiki page for right-wing anarchism, which doesn't really exist have an english equivalent :
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchisme_de_droite
Funnily enough, that's exactly the ideology that describes accurately what the politics of 4chan are.

is he just a meme or are any of his books worth reading?

>>25054240
>The greatest author in the history of literature is still alive and well and still hasn't been translated into english.
Will Self?

>>25060069
India being that well represented is incredible, it's amazing how indians managed to fool boomers into thinking their nation was this land of mystique and spirituality instead of the open air sewer we know it is.

>>25064079
What an original opinion

>>25054420
I’m reading 2666. The writing is so fucking unimpressive

>>25060791
>reading it on the beach the book takes place it
Pseud behavior.

>>25064079

Their perception of India as a land of mysticism is irrelevant. And so is yours. India is not subject to your unwanted and unasked for opinions

>>25060069
Russia deserves every piece of your lands

Marquez is a top 5 novelist, certainly mogs nearly the entire English tradition of snoozefest tomes tailored for study
