The three of us had a fantastic discussion on Bolano's life and legacy, as well as this brilliant, terrifying little novel. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

This week on Rational Security, Quinta and Scott were joined by Lawfare Legal Fellow Anna Bower to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Hamas, No Más.” A senior Hamas official was recently killed in an attack in Beirut, in what many believe was an operation by Israel—a country whose leaders have pledged to target Hamas's leaders wherever they might be, though it has not formally acknowledged involvement in this particular attack. But pursuing such action across a border that is already on the edge of becoming a second front in the Gaza conflict has observers nervous. How significant is this operation? Does it risk regional escalation?“Bad for the Immune System.” Just before the holiday, the Supreme Court rejected special counsel Jack Smith's petition for it to expedite consideration of former President Trump's claim of immunity to criminal charges. And in the week that's passed, briefing is already underway—including an argument by an amicus asserting that appeal shouldn't be allowed at all. What hangs on this case? And how do the courts seem poised to address it?“The Unprincipled Agent Problem.” The Justice Department has leveled additional charges against Sen. Robert Menendez and his wife alleging additional illegal actions in support of Qatar, including some in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Meanwhile, several associates of former President Trump have faced similar charges for alleged work for the same government. What should we make of these powerful public officials and their associates doing work for foreign governments? And is FARA the right tool to address it?For object lessons, Quinta continued to suck up to the estate of Roberto Bolano by endorsing his book “The Savage Detectives.” Scott spilled the beans on one of Denver's lovely speakeasies, B&GC. And Anna urged folks to try out a Tarot Card reading for the New Year—advice Fox News appears to have taken on former President Trump's behalf.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Roberto Bolano. „2666“. Vertė Alma Naujokaitienė, išleido leidykla „kitos knygos“.„2666“ yra geriausias rašytojo romanas. Jį sudaro penkios atskiros novelės, sujungtos į vieną, o visas jas sieja dvi temos: literatūra ir moterų žudynės Santa Terezos mieste, Meksikoje. Keturis literatūros profesorius, prancūzą Žaną Klodą Peltjė, italą Pjerą Morinį, ispaną Manuelį Espinosą ir britę Lizą Norton sieja susižavėjimas paslaptingojo vokiečių rašytojo Beno fon Arčimboldi kūryba. Jų bendrystė netrukus atveda prie absurdiškos, piligrimystę menančios kelionės į Santa Terezą, kur kažkas buvo matęs mįslingąjį rašytoją. Romano ištraukas skaito aktorius Giedrius Arbačiauskas. (S)

TW: Torture;Welcome to perhaps the most pretentious Latin American writer there ever was, Roberto Bolano!  Come learn the backstory of the man who witnessed more than one atrocity in several countries, paving the way for him to create the two novels that one hipster chick was telling you about before her Marxist idealization turned you off, "2666" and "The Savage Detectives"!

In this episode, the Spine Crackers are joined by friend of the show Ben, who runs the fantastic booktube channel Book Shore, to discuss legendary Chilean author Roberto Bolano's first novel, published after his untimely death but written in 1989, The Third Reich! https://www.youtube.com/c/BookShore https://www.patreon.com/spinecrackers https://www.buymeacoffee.com/spinecrackers

Roberto Bolano. „2666“. “Šis kūrinys Bolaño išgarsino kaip postmodernios apokalipsės dainių, - rašo knygos vertėja Alma Naujokaitienė. - Savo kūryba jis tarsi žada viltį, bet kuo toliau, tuo labiau ji sklaidosi, o grėsmės ir beprotybės nuojauta stiprėja. Tarsi nevyksta nieko baisaus, bet kodėl personažai nuolat atsiduria jiems nesuprantamose situacijose, kurios juos tarsi psichologiškai paralyžiuoja, ir tas situacijų nesuvokimas arba jų absurdiškumas kelia baimę ir siaubą?“ Ištraukas skaito aktorius Giedrius Arbačiauskas.

The two talk about, among other topics, Noah's varied reading, his process in seeking out and writing stories, the way in which he was approached to write his book, and the specifics of the well-researched book and Noah's purpose in writing the book about a seemingly-never-ending “War on Drugs.”     Buy El Chapo: The Untold Story of the World's Most Infamous Drug Lord   Subscribe Here to Noah's Substack   From September 13, 2021, Yahoo News: “The little-known story of how Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán tried to bring down friends and enemies from behind bars”   At about 1:15, Noah talks about his recently-published book and his purpose and thesis for the book   At about 3:40, Noah talks about why he calls his book a “popular history” and shouts out Benjamin Smith's writing   At about 6:30, Noah outlines his early relationship with language and reading   At about 10:30, Noah discusses being energized and inspired by other works, with a special admiration for and love of Roberto Bolano's work   At about 12:20, Pete and Noah converse about unassigned reading and the love of reading and ways to foster it   At about 14:20, Noah lays out his recent reading habits and purpose in reading   At about 17:10, Pete asks Noah about his process in looking for story ideas, and Noah talks about the way in which he reads   At about 21:20, Noah discusses a “vague idea to write” and how he started thinking of writing as a concrete possibility through his time at The University of Southern Maine, and how he thought of himself as a “writer, not a reporter” for a while   At about 23:00, Noah responds to Pete's question about the genesis of Noah's book about Él Chapo   At about 25:45, Noah reads an excerpt from his book that juxtaposes Jesus Malverde and El Chapo Guzman   At about 32:00, Noah discusses the excerpt and some of the historical context that surrounds the writing, including some history of Sinaloa   At about 33:40, Noah explains the setting of small-town Sinaloa, especially Badiriguato and El Chapo's La Tuna hometown and what Noah was hoping to accomplish when he traveled there three times   At about 35:20, Noah recounts an interesting anecdote in which a young kid asked him about El Chapo and its connection to the people of Sinaloa and their relationship with El Chapo and the effects of the drug trade   At about 39:40, Noah discusses the pull of big drug money for residents in Sinaloa   At about 42:15, Noah restates his thesis statement from the book, in response to a question posed in the book by an associate/family member of El Chapo; Noah thinks about how he would respond to the question if he were asked again today   At about 46:05, Pete wonders about a “starting point” or “turning point” of the drug war, and Noah discusses pivotal points and the huge uptick in violence; this includes bubbling violence in Nuevo Laredo around 2003   At about 53:00, Noah talks about the uptick in violence with Felipe Calderón's installation as the Mexican President in 2006/2007, with Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez seeing “intense, public violence”   At about 58:15, Pete asks Noah about the circumstances of the murder of Mexican Archbishop Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo   At about 1:01:00, Noah talks about the state working in tandem with El Chapo   At about 1:02:15, Noah explains the ways in which violence unfolded around 2007 in Ciudad Juarez and the specific conditions and context that made the violence so brutal    At about 1:06:55, Noah talks about the incredible story of Christian Rodriguez, a cyber security expert, and his connection to El Chapo   At about 1:10:10, Noah gives background on El Chapo's prison situation   At about 1:11:40, Noah discusses the new generation of drug traffickers, including El Chapo's son and “Los Chapitos” and shouts out

Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of October's book, 2666 by Roberto Bolaño (up to the dot on page 445 where the new sentence mentions ‘Calle Santa Catarina' - That's exactly half way if you're reading alongside).  The idea of the podcast is that we'll read the first half of a book together (that I've never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month - 29th October), I'll discuss the second half of the book (in this case from the dot on page 445 (where the new sentence mentions ‘Calle Santa Catarina) to the end). We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for November is The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: There are many references to murder and rape.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Our first Roberto Bolano talk! Let's talk about "Clara" a short story published in the August 4, 2008 issue of The New Yorker! A wonderful piece that we have an interesting take on! We don't expect you have to view this story this way but have an interesting look at how he may be using the Male Gaze to talk about women. We chose this as a part of an effort to read more broadly for #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth . What did you guys think of this story? Our copy was translated by Chris Andrews.

One of our favorites to date, the Nick's and Daniel dive into Roberto Bolano's seminal work, "The Savage Detectives" in the hopes of making sense of the enigmatic form and poetic prose. What it means to engage with art and ultimately become an artist is explored as well as the importance of paying homage to the artists that have come before and the necessity in blowing them and their work to bits. The fellas jump from the Mexico city of the detectives over to Tokyo, Japan to engage with post rock beauties TOE and their 2012 offering, "The Book About My Idle Plot on a Vague Anxiety" the bands second full-length album. A gorgeous instrumental work packed with tasteful movements in a number of genres and ultimately the assertion that the drums fucking wail. Nick M. ends the show by pounding a 24 oz Modelo Chelada of mango and chile for no good reason beyond he is alive, as are we all, so enjoy good art and beer. Cheers!

There is a pair of lemon trees outside the Desperate Literature multilingual bookshop in Madrid and you could say that if God gave them lemons, owners Terry and Charlotte made a damn good lemonade with this literary haven. In their own words, Desperate Literature sells books. Real books. Desperate ones. Paper and glue. But actually, Desperate Literature is also a community, event space, a publishing house, and a home. That's right, self-diagnosed book fanatics Terry Craven and Charlotte Delattre live above and in the vicinity of the bookshop. They both worked at the world-famous Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company for a few years before opening Desperate Literature, inviting Madrilenos, travelers and unidentified walk-ins to write a poem on their vintage typewriter or take a shot of whiskey with a book purchase. We chat with Terry and Charlotte today to find out about the joys and despairs of their lives as booksellers.

Ilide Carmignanitraduttrice di:"Sepolcri di cowboy"Roberto BolanoAdelphi Editorewww.adelphi.itCome ben sanno i numerosi lettori di Bolaño, sin dalle prime righe la sua scrittura ipnotica ci soggioga, trascinandoci in mondi pieni di bagliori corruschi e di inquietante oscurità, di amore e di dolore, di sogni labirintici e di domande senza risposta – i mondi in cui ogni lettore aspira a perdersi quando apre un romanzo. Dopo la morte di Bolaño, a soli cinquant'anni, e mentre il suo nome diventava leggenda, sono stati trovati e pubblicati parecchi inediti, fra i quali i tre abbozzi di romanzi riuniti in questo volume. Ancora una volta, la malìa funziona, e le tre narrazioni – con il riecheggiare di temi ascoltati in altre storie, il riapparire di personaggi che abbiamo incontrato altrove – ci immettono di prepotenza in quel flusso ininterrotto che costituisce l'universo magmatico di Bolaño. Sulle prime due incombe un evento cruciale – il golpe militare con cui l'11 settembre del 1973 venne abbattuto il governo di Salvador Allende –, e ritroviamo dettagli della biografia dell'autore: l'adolescenza messicana, con la scoperta della letteratura e dei film pornografici; il ricordo di una ragazza dagli occhi azzurri che diventerà una desaparecida; i giorni trascorsi dopo l'arresto in una palestra sotto la sorveglianza della polizia. L'ultima, forse la più sorprendente, tutta incentrata su una delirante conversazione telefonica, ci farà scoprire nientemeno che il Gruppo Surrealista Clandestino, il quale sopravvivrebbe da tempo immemorabile nelle fogne di Parigi...2666AmuletoChiamate telefonicheI detective selvaggiI dispiaceri del vero poliziottoIl gaucho insopportabileIl Ter zo R eichLa letteratura nazista in AmericaLa pista di ghiaccioLo spirito della fantascienzaNotturno cilenoPuttane assassineStella distanteTra parentesiUn romanzetto lumpenCosì comincia "Sepolcri di cowboy":"L'aeroporto"Mi chiamo Arturo e la prima volta che ho visto un aeroporto era il 1968.

La prima, mentre mia madre e mia sorella parlavano con mia nonna e con altre due o tre persone di cui ho completamente dimenticato i visi, uno sconosciuto si avvicinò e mi regalò un libro.

Willkommen zur neuen Folge von Hanser Rauschen, bei der wir den Globus so richtig rotieren lassen. Zu Gast haben wir nämlich den zwischen Guatemala und den USA pendelnden Schriftsteller Eduardo Halfon, der längst in einem Atemzug mit den ganz großen lateinamerikanischen Schriftstellern wie Roberto Bolano genannt wird. Halfons schmale, wie komprimiert wirkende Romane erzählen von anderen, vielleicht nur halbfiktiven Eduardo Halfons, leuchten seine Familiengeschichte und die Geschichte des Exils seiner weitverzweigten Familie aus. Zuletzt erschien im vergangenen Herbst sein Roman "Duell" im Hanser Verlag. Im Podcast sprechen Eduardo Halfon und sein Lektor Piero Salabe über die biografischen Tricksereien in diesem Roman. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Satire can be the last, best way to critique difficult topics, and Ryan Chapman's blistering novel, RIOTS I HAVE KNOWN, takes on, among other things, incarceration, literature's standing in the culture, and intellectual pretension. He and James talk novellas, using contemporary cultural references, writing to a melody, and publishing a book after working in the field.

Dans cet épisode de Flashback, Antoine Sire et Antoine Jullien reçoivent le cinéaste chilien Nicolas Lasnibat. Ce dernier vient de réaliser son premier film "La Biographie inventée" et nous en dévoile un peu plus au fil de nos questions. La biographie que Nicolas invente est celle de Roberto Bolano, un personnage clé de la littérature sud américaine. C'est autour de cette figure et de son alter égo, "Arturo Belano" que Nicolas va tenter de perdre le spectateur en lui proposant une oeuvre troublante entre documentaire et fiction. Nous évoquerons avec lui l'oeuvre colossale de Roberto Bolano, "Les détectives sauvages", ce que c'est d'être cinéphile en Amérique du Sud et bien évidemment l'approche de notre invité avec le cinéma classique.

The endlessly fascinating Jennifer Engstrom graces us in the Booth today. Jen is a long-time ensemble member of A Red Orchid Theatre (as is our last guest, playwright Brett Neveu). She has appeared in over a dozen productions there and at many other great Chicago theaters (as well as in productions in London and New York). She grew up on a farm outside of Huxley, Iowa and made her way to the big city via the College of DuPage theatre program, where she soon became active in the speech department. And who coached and encouraged her in a career in the performing arts? None other than our own Frank Tourangeau! Frank was a professor and head of the speech department during Jennifer's time there and served as her mentor and teacher. Frank relates how he cast her in the play Whose Life is it Anyway? as the lead made famous on Broadway and the West End by Tom Conti, and revived some years later with Mary Tyler Moore in the starring role. By all accounts, Jen was luminous in the part. BTW, when Gary was working in Emanuel Azenberg's office, he was a stand-in for Tom Conti for several rehearsals on the Broadway production. In addition to her numerous acting roles, Jennifer has had an interesting career as an understudy around Chicago. We discuss her going on as Blanche DuBois at the last minute in a Writers Theatre production of A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by David Cromer. Though she knew the blocking and the lines well, her costumes had not been finished and there was a mad scramble to devise a proper wardrobe track for that performance (which Gary and producer Betsy were privileged to see!). She also stepped in for Amy Morton in the Steppenwolf Theatre production of Taylor Mac's HIR when Ms. Morton turned her ankle on stage prior to the first preview. Jennifer had learned all the lines and after a rushed blocking rehearsal, kept the curtain up for the first preview audience in stellar fashion. To quote the wonderful stage manager, Laura Glenn, "She was a total professional and I was so grateful she was there." Among Jennifer's favorite playwrights are Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee and newcomer Jen Silverman, whose play Witch will get a world premiere production at Writers Theatre in the fall. Two items of show biz interest - The Play That Goes Wrong is closing on Broadway in August. One of the most hilarious shows that Gary and Frank have ever seen, a national tour is scheduled so don't miss this gem of a show if it comes to your town. And the five-and-a-half hour adaptation of Roberto Bolano's mammoth novel 2066 can be seen on streaming video soon. In an unusual arrangement, a filmed version of the Goodman Theatre's production will be available free, unlimited streaming for at least two years. Frank was a big fan of this production. You may have to watch in installments given it's extraordinary length, but you're unlikely to see another production of it anywhere any time soon. Jennifer has created and performs a one-woman show called Excuse My Dust, A Dorothy Parker Portfolio, in which she embodies the writer and humorist in an evening of theatrical monologues from Parker's writings. Dorothy Parker was an original member of the Algonquin Round Table and a unique coiner of the cutting remark. Gary and Betsy are going to the Red Orchid spring fundraiser at which Jennifer is performing selections from Excuse My Dust. More to report on our next episode. We play a little Chat Pack with Jennifer and find that she would like to be a rock star for a month, a la Beyonce. And people often ask her how she learns all those lines! Kiss of Death: Anne V. Coates, Admired Editor of Acclaimed Movies One of the most celebrated film editors of her era, Ms. Coates won an Oscar for her work on Lawrence of Arabia directed by David Lean and starring Peter O'Toole. The film editor's craft is often called "the invisible art," but is one of the most vital ingredients in the alchemy of filmmaking.

Aug. 30, 2014. Ever wonder what it takes to translate a great work of literature from another language into English? Why are translators the unsung heroes of the literary world? What can we learn from their deep dive into the words of writers outside our borders? Amy Stolls moderated a discussion with author-translator Paul Auster and Natasha Wimmer (Roberto Bolano's translator) about the art of translation and its role in the literary world. Speaker Biography: Amy Stolls is literature director for the National Endowment for the Arts. Speaker Biography: Natasha Wimmer is the acclaimed translator of Chilean novelist Roberto Bolano's "2666" and "The Savage Detectives" from Spanish into English. Wimmer spent four years of her youth in Spain and studied Spanish literature at Harvard University. She has also translated Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa's "The Language of Passion," "The Way to Paradise" and "Letters to a Young Novelist." She is a fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and winner of the PEN Translation Prize. Wimmer will participate in the Books in Translation panel in the Poetry & Prose pavilion. Speaker Biography: Paul Auster achieved critical acclaim with his first work, a memoir, "The Invention of Solitude." He followed that up with the equally praised "The New York Trilogy," a series of detective stories published in one volume. Auster's detective stories are anything but traditional, as they explore issues of identity and existentialism. He has gone on to pen such notable works as "The Book of Illusions" and "Travels in the Scriptorium." He is also an accomplished poet and translator, who has translated works by such notable writers as Jean-Paul Sartre and Stephane Mallarme. Numerous awards have come Auster's way, and he is a recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Auster will participate in the Books in Translation panel in the Poetry & Prose pavilion. His newest work is "Report from the Interior" (Picador).

In this week's podcast (Tom's last one of of the year), we discuss the translations we did (and didn't) read from 2012, including Maidenhair by Mikhail Shishkin, Satantango by Laszlo Krashnahorkai, Woes of the True Policeman by Roberto Bolano, and Necropolis by Santiago Gamboa. This kicks off the beginning of our "best of" podcasts for this year. Next week we'll talk about music, and in the new year, Tom will be back to discuss the best movies of 2012.  Since I mentioned this a million times during the podcast, here's the list of books I'm looking forward to reading over the next couple months:   Woes of a True Policeman, Roberto Bolano Death Sentences, Kawamata Chiaki Investigation, Philippe Claudel Revenge, Yoko Ogawa Encyclopedia of a Life in Russian, Jose Manuel Prieto Ariadne in the Gortesque Labyrinth, Salvador Espriu The Map and the Territory, Michel Houellebecq Atlas, Kai-Cheung Dung Black Flower, Young-ha Kim LoveStar, Andri Snaer Magnason Traveler of the Century, Andres Neuman Mathematique, Jacques Roubaud Raised from the Ground, Jose Saramago Tyrant Banderas, Ramon del Valle-Inclan Down the Rabbit Hole, Juan Pablo Villalobos Transit, Abdourahman Waberi Museum of Abandoned Secrets, Oksana Zabuzhko Blindly, Claudio Magris

Kosmo har en exklusiv intervju med den amerikanska författaren Don DeLillo. ”Allt som jag har skrivit har färgats av mordet på president Kennedy. Jag tror att hela mitt författarskap kretsar kring att vi lever i en tid fylld av faror och hot.” Det säger författaren Don DeLillo, född 1936, en av USA:s mest inflytelserika och minst intervjuade författare. Don DeLillo har emellanåt beskrivits som en närmast profetisk författare. Han var tidig med att skriva om miljökatastrofer och terrorism, berättelser som sedan blivit verklighet. På frågan om vad han ser som det största hotet mot oss människor just nu, säger han att det skulle vara om terrorister kom över kärnvapen. Nu är han aktuell på svenska med romanen Omegapunkten. Marie Lundström har träffat honom i New York. I Don DeLillos senaste roman Omegapunkten inramas berättelsen av ett känt konstverk­ – Douglas Gordons 24 Hour Psycho, som bygger på Hitchcock klassiker Psycho. Kosmos Cecilia Blomberg analyserar konstverkets betydelse med hjälp av filmvetaren Annika Wik. Hör också den rosade författaren Miguel Syjoco, en kosmopolit född på Filippinerna, vars debutroman Ilustrado blivit en stor succé världen över. Han jämförs med författare som Nam Le, Roberto Bolano och Paul Auster. Kanske är det för att jag själv är uppfödd i tredje världen som jag tycker att litteraturen har ett uppdrag, att den måste vara mer än bara underhållning, säger Syjuco. Kosmos Anneli Dufva mötte honom under hans Sverigebesök i ett samtal om bland annat den stora amerikanska romanen.

Inte många tänker på att det är Karl Vennberg som har skrivit Franz Kafkas Processen på svenska. Att det är Lena Heymans språkkänsla som har hjälpt chilenaren Roberto Bolano att bli den han är i Sverige. Översättarna är litteraturens doldisar, jordemödrarna som hjälper texter att få liv i nya språkområden. Lars Hermansson diskuterar översättningens praktik och teori tillsammans med bland andra Lena Heyman, John Swedenmark, Marie Lundquist, Olof Hyllienmark och Manni Kössler. Bör en översättare ha en egen ton, eller kan hon vara en språklig kameleont? Vilken är skillnaden mellan tolkning och översättning, och vad kännetecknar en lyckad översättning?
