this is amazing thank you!!

Long live artichokes

an amazing and insightful analysis!

oh my, thanks. there is life beyond Marquez. But I wrote into my last essay a few precursors too, most intriguingly, Sor Juana de la Cruz in her little known: Neptuno alegórico. There we get a wild new form of Thomism strong enough to engulf Aztec culture as just one more precursor of an authentically "Christian" future. Here we get the first glimpse of what might be called a "metafora de metaforas" which leads many years later to Carpentier's neobarocca view of history, as you also embrace as a recurring chance to revisit the past in order to survive its cataclysms. Yes, it's about distinguishing good from bad: good sex (with love) from selfish sex. We can only step out of a selfish past by engaging in profoundly loving relations with others (the other). Hence: don't bomb Gaza, right?

Thank you

Thank you - very interesting. One note: "Between a novel and a short story" - a novella then - is that a real issue? I'm not so sure.

Thanks for this!

The conversation is meaningful! Thank you! --Xinrui Wang

great discussion!

👍

The discussion about the narrator was especially interesting. Thank you! - Arissa Naumann

Insightful, thank you!

Great discussion, thank you for these insights! - Lauren Waring

Nice to see you, old friend.

Very interesting discussion!! Thank you!! - Jonathan Jang

I agree that the narrator is experiencing the unfamiliarly of gender and perhaps race with the character of Macabéa. Which gets me thinking how the narration could perhaps be skewed, will definitely drive deeper into this on my blog!

It is so interesting to learn that Lispector died the same year she wrote this book! It makes the ending of this book so much more interesting.

I totally agree with Professor Sonia Roncador's point of understanding the author and their previous works and life in order to understand the significance of the novel properly. Thank you for the awesome conversation!

I’m starting to love Lispector and wanting to read more! Thank you for this conversation! -Maxene Uy

Thanks for such an intriguing and genuine conversation and for tying in the bigger picture of politics and Lispector's larger works. Maia D.

its super interesting how close Lispector feels to her own stories. The way you both talked about it made it seem like the character's in Lispectors books were real!

I Love this novel (si así se puede llamar). Thank you for your commentary.

Weider seems to almost be a poetic representation of the crimes of the Pinochet regime. Perhaps through tracing him through his work as Bibiano and the narrator do, they come closer to the reality of that time in Chile in the only way they know how. Anthologising, analysing and corresponding - an aesthetic attack on the crimes perpetrated on their people.

very helpful

My gratitude for the deep dive into Bolaño's best character. Many shrewd observations are put forth, too many to comment upon here. I think in these discussions of the negative imaginative we should remember Bolaño's comment that the opposite of a concentration camp is a library, that Literature is first and foremost the anti-Auschwitz, despite whatever barbarism it chronicles.

Great chat. Thanks. PP is also my own favourite LA novel and should be read in conjunction with Los llanos en llamas. I'm surprised you didn't mention GGM, who said it was his favourite LA novel. And 100 Years of Solitude also fits Gareth's phrase: "Every understanding is already too late"

One of the greatest book of all time for sure , also "El llano en Llamas" is pretty great , Juan Rulfo has a way of playing with live and death like no other writer imho.

Clarice is hypnotic ❤️

Felicidades Maestro Jon Beasley-Murray. Extraordinario video. Lo comparto y busco los anteriores y siguientes. Saludos.

¡Sincero y divertido!
