I am finding it hard to get through as well. By Mysteriousness I meant the source of crimes or evil. What I felt was that Bolano was undermining this idea that you can catch the killer and then everything will be back to normal... the killings there seemed part of landscape or the way of being in santa teresa itself. Some kind of unending mystical cycle.Alokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947383354732747209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12674755.post-23978147976784832062009-11-18T12:04:45.836-05:002009-11-18T12:04:45.836-05:00It is nice to see you back.

Hope the inability to access blog sites from workplace don't keep you away from this space now.<br />The parallels you draw between 2666 and Lynch are interesting, especially the woods as a source of evil. But while Lynch's evil stays mysterious, Bolano's extends to several pages in gross detail. I think he overdid the section on crimes and should have stopped much sooner. Perhaps the tediousness made the next section stand out much more.Madhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323335479301675432noreply@blogger.com
