As an Argentinian is so strange to hear People talking about our writers in english. Thanks for reviewing Cortazar, Borges and Sabatto. You should try with Bioy Casares "Morel 's invention", he inspired the "Lost"(tv show) script writers. Adolfo Bioy Casares was also Jorge Luis Borges Best friend and they even wrote some books together. I hope you can read it. the Best and thanks.
He actually reviewed it already : )
@@norainu2878 Yep, ya habló de la Invención de Morel en otro vídeo, hace dos años. Búscalo. Saludos.
Soy argelina, hablo arabe pero leo estos autores en español y los descubrí en el canal del booktuber Ricardo y me hace muy feliz saber que la gente fuera de latino americana los lee porque aqui por ejempo no existen nunca he visto esos libros en cualquier idioma :( ni siquiera se habla de ellos
"Sobre Heroes y Tumbas" is great also.
Man, if you think The Tunnel was great, wait for On Heroes and Tombs. I think Sabato is easily the best latinamerican novelist.
Leo Percara So who you think it is?
Leo Percara He is certainly better than Onetti and Bolaño (both of whom I read and enjoyed, and regard as excellent authors). I can say for the rest, but Rulfo is God anyway so you can't really compare him with anyone else. Abaddon el exterminador is one of the best novels written by a Latinamerican author. That novel alone puts Sabato among the greats.
Sabato is good, but he's not even in the top 10 of Latin American writers for me. Alejo Carpentier would probably be my favorite. Or Jose Lezama Lima.
most terrific beginning of a book I have ever read, without a doubt
My favourite book ever. I think I've read it about 20 times.
I just finished reading this and i am absolutely mind blown. It's apparently his very first novel and is followed by two others like a trilogy. Cant wait to get to them. Nice review!
Oh, love Sabato. He is one of the writers of my youth. Love The tunnel, but I absolutely recommend On Heroes and Tombs. Beautiful writing.
That's what I hear - I'll check it out, thanks for watching!
María del Mar Dos Pasos what is Heroes and Tombs about? Currently reading The Tunnel, and I am loving it.
The second novel he wrote. Is considered Sabato's magnun opus
Sequel to The Tunnel. Last book of the series is "Abaddon El exterminador"
The Tunnel > The Stranger
I loved the stranger. Let me read the tunnel.
I loved The Stranger but I agree with you on this one. The Tunnel is powerful.
You HAVE to read On tombs and graves now (in my opinion, Sabato's best work). Both stories happen in the same universe and On tombs and graves briefly references the first one. It's only for a paragraph I think, but it will change your perception of The tunnel completely
7:17-8:13 - That part of the review convinced me to buy this book. I'm adding it to the list of books I want to buy at the next book fair 2 weeks from now. Cant wait to read it.
Thank you for another great review.
I literally just finished reading this book and in the same day you released this video.
Hell yeah man
Definitely giving this one a read. You've introduced me to so much great literature, which is having a pretty powerful effect on me. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome, thanks for the support
Great in-depth commentaries.
If only all 'Booktubers' could be like you, then people would be a lot better informed about quality literature.
I wasn't familiar with Ernesto Sabato so thank you for this! Put this one on my wishlist & I've been watching videos on him on RUclips. And you are right, that cover is just perfect.
Any interest in reviewing something by Jose Saramago?
I'm a big fan of your channel! Thanks for the quality videos and thoughtful discussion.
I'm an Argentinian viewer currently living in Scotland. I see you mention good bands/artists quite a lot. Will you ever make a video on your favourite albums? And, have you had the chance to visit Buenos Aires?
Maybe - and not yet, I would love to visit Buenos Aires. I hear Scotland's pretty great too.
Recommendation October Special - The Obscene Bird of Night by José Donoso(Check out the cover)
Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
Lessons In History -
The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini
I, Claudius by Robert Graves
Amazing man! There are so many latin american masterpieces. Read "Sobre heroes and tumbas" It is the same style but it reminds me of Bolaño. I also recommend "Bestiario" by Cortazar and "The last evenings on earth" by Bolaño, but you have probably read it because you created a short film based on his short story. These books provide dreamlike and surreal feelings. These books steal your conscience.
Miguel Cardenas NOT A MASTER PIECE!
Have you ever read The Power Broker? As an avid reader I feel it might be the greatest biography ever written.
Also thank you for the reviewing Hunger, I just finished and it is easily one of my favorite books in recent memory!
i think that you would really like One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Personally, i think it's a masterpiece, but i would really like to hear your take on it (sorry for my bad english by the way, i'm from Chile)
Messed up, yet so relatable. Gotta pick it up. Great review as usual.
Intrigued. Gonna pick it up for sure.
i would love to see you do a review of an uruguayan author called Juan Carlos Onetti, he is a very underrated author but his writing is very interesting, I recommend "The Pit" a short novel, very existencialist and also "A Brief Life", i think that you would enjoy either one of those books. I really like your content and the books you review.
Would you plz review Sobre heroes y tumbas. Heroes and tombs in English.
Anarchist to be exact. Sabato is more anti communist according to the ideas articulated in ABADDON THE EXTERMINATOR. Which is the best example of the ideological conflict between anarchism and communism.
Hey Cliff, have you read any of Dostoevsky's other books?
I would want to hear you on Kafka
Coming soon - so many it's difficult to decide...
That's very exciting to hear.
Have you ever given William H. Gass' book with the same title a try? I think you would enjoy it.
I almost did - I'll remember that one
I love that book and your name is almost identical to my current best friend's name. Coincidence?
This was so beautiful.
You really should read his other 2 books. This one, while being great, is the "weakest" one imo. His second novel being his chef d'oeuvre.
Great video. Well done again friendo
Thankya Jimmy
Heh, changed my name after I sent my poems to ya.
One of my Favs!
Are ya digging the new Bad Seeds album?
Yes - tough listen.
I would love to hear your take on Sarah Kane.
Never read, looks excellent - got a title you'd recommend?
Go chronologically, so you can observe her developement. Blasted and Cleansed are Standouts to me. There is a methuen Drama Complete Plays Edition, with a beautiful cover. By the way, i live in Berlin and i would love to give you some Kickback from my Amazon purchases, but the link always leads me to an english Version. Any ideas?
I'm a huge fan of your city. No unfortunately I have not been able to find a way to fix this - I should research and if I can, I'll let you know - really appreciate the support. Sarah Kane is on the list.
Same here. Catcher in the rye would also be great.
No problem. Really love your content. Thanks for introducing me to a shitton of great literature
It's time for you to read Sabato's masterpiece On Heroes and Tombs and then end his trilogy with The Angel of Darkness. I know you will like them.
For the friends of Sabato I am very happy to say that the Helen Lane translation would be reprinted in July (finally)!!
At the gates brought me here.
If you liked The tunnel you must read On heroes and tombs, opus Magnus, much better than The tunnel! Read it, read it!!! ;)
Colm Tóibín is a pretty decent writer himself, btw.
Great stuff, as always!
