English Summary … to pretend that those books already exist … Feigned Intertextuality in (Latin) American Literature after 1940 In a preface to his collection of short stories Jardín de senderos que se bifurcan, Jorge Luis Borges states that it is laborious madness to write novels hundreds of pages long when you could simply pre- tend these books already exist and then refer to them in short sum- maries. Te stories following the preface proceed to implement this thought by referring to, and quoting from, numerous gctitious textu- al sources, pretending they exist. Borges, who indicates this feigned intertextuality, may be one of the masters of this textual trickery, but he is by no means the only writer operating with it – feigned inter- textuality populates numerous texts in world history. Te present book ofers a systematic examination of this proce- dure and explores the fantastic, parodistic and gction-generating ef- fects it unfolds in reception through analyses of the works of Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Vladimir Nabokov, and Roberto Bolaño. Te study is based on the assumption that feigned references carry spe- cigc properties through their oscillation between the factual and the gctional, properties that make them particularly interesting for a num- ber of genres and texts. A theoretical consideration of the procedure will initially look at how feigned intertextuality can be degned and, more importantly, how it works in reception, playing on assumptions the reader makes based on learned pacts between text and reader. Tis will constitute the base for concrete analyses of feigned intertextuality in specigc texts. Looking at Borges’ »Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius« and »Jardín de senderos que se bifurcan« as well as Bioy Casares’ »La trama celeste« and La invención de Morel, one can observe the extend to which the uncanny, reality-unsettling properties of gctitious references are func- tionalized in fantastic texts. Te analysis also sets out to shed light on a question that accompanies the entire œuvre of these authors: Can X English Summary these texts really be understood as fantastic?

  • Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño's 2666 By
    The Invisible Crowd: Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 by Francisco Brito A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Francine Masiello, Chair Professor Estelle Tarica Professor Tom McEnaney Summer 2018 The Invisible Crowd: Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 ¬ 2018 Francisco Brito 1 Abstract The Invisible Crowd: Individual and Multitude in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 by Francisco Brito Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Francine Masiello, Chair This dissertation argues that Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666 offers us a new way of thinking about the relationship between the individual and the multitude in the globalized world. I argue that the novel manages to capture the oppressive nature of its structures not by attempting to represent them directly but instead by telling the stories of individuals who feel especially alienated from them. These characters largely fail to connect with one another in any lasting way, but their brief encounters, some of which take place in person, others through reading, have pride of place in a text that, I propose, constitutes a brief on behalf of the marginal and the forgotten in its overall form: it is an example of the novel as an ever-expanding, multitudinous crowd; it strives to preserve the singularity of each of its members while at the same time suggesting that the differences between them are less important than their shared presence within a single narrative whole.

  • In Orbit: Roberto Bolaño and World Literature
    Department of English In orbit: Roberto Bolaño and world literature Friðrik Sólnes Jónsson MA thesis Literature Spring, 2015 Supervisor: Adnan Mahmutovic Abstract Chilean author Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) has achieved considerable critical and commercial success among a global English readership. Breaking into the US market, which has an important mediating role for the international circulation of texts, is a rare feat for a non-Anglophone author and requires some explanation. In the spirit of Pascale Casanova’s international criticism, this paper looks at Bolaño’s work as world literature and his persona as a world-literature figure against which theories on the subject can be measured. Furthermore, I will partly use his posthumous novel, 2666, as an example of a work that arises out of this process of becoming-world-literature. The success of Bolaño more or less conforms to the main theories of world literature (Casanova, Moretti, Thomsen), but it also reveals interesting mismatches and problematic aspects that show a need to update existing theories. Keywords: World literature; Roberto Bolaño; 2666; The Savage Detectives; Latin America; Márquez; The Boom; Pascale Casanova; Franco Moretti; Mads Rosendahl Thomsen; Seattle; Amazon; Jónsson 1 The balance between the specificity of the instance and the applicability of the general is a problem for all thought. - Eric Hayot Roberto Bolaño’s posthumously published novel 2666 has traveled well, even though it is an enigmatic work in many respects. The enigma extends beyond the fact that it consists of five loosely connected sections and that it features other peculiar structural and aesthetic elements, which make the reading of it quite challenging.1 Most perplexing of all is that among the limited number of translated books released in the US each year this one became a critical and commercial success and the culmination of Bolaño’s posthumous rise in the US and consequently throughout the world, affirming Bolaño’s status as a major figure of world literature.

  • '2666,' by Roberto Bolaño. Translated by Natasha Wimmer - Review - Nytimes.Com
    Book Review - '2666,' by Roberto Bolaño. Translated by Natasha Wimmer - Review - NYTimes.com November 9, 2008 The Departed By JONATHAN LETHEM Skip to next paragraph 2666 By Roberto Bolaño. Translated by Natasha Wimmer By 898 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Cloth and paper, $30 In Philip K. Dick’s 1953 short story “The Preserving Machine,” an impassioned inventor creates a device for “preserving” the canon of classical music — the sacred and, he fears, impermanent beauties of Schubert, Chopin, Beethoven and so forth — by feeding it into a device that transforms the compositions into living creatures: birds, beetles and animals resembling armadillos and porcupines. Outfitting the classic pieces in this manner, then setting them free, the inventor means to guarantee their persistence beyond the frailties of human commemoration, to give them a set of defenses adequate to their value. Alas, the musical-animals become disagreeable and violent, turn on one another and, when the inventor attempts to reverse-engineer his creations in order to prove that the music has survived, reveal themselves as a barely recognizable cacophony, nothing like the originals. Or has the preserving machine revealed true essences — irregularities, ferocities — disguised within the classical pieces to begin with? Dick’s parable evokes the absurd yearning embedded in our reverence toward art, and the tragicomic paradoxes “masterpieces” embody in the human realm that brings them forth and gives them their only value. If we fear ourselves unworthy of the sublimities glimpsed at the summit of art, what relevance does such exalted stuff have to our grubby lives? Con­versely, if on investigation such works, and their makers, are revealed as ordinary, subject to the same provisions and defects as the rest of what we’ve plopped onto the planet — all these cities, nations, languages, histories — then why get worked up in the first place? Perfect or, more likely, imperfect, we may suspect art of being useless in either case.

Keywords: Bolaño, By Night in Chile, Díaz, doubling, Drown, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, The Savage Detectives, This Is How You Lose Her, 2666 MFS: Both Junot Díaz (1968-) and Robert Bolaño (1953-2003) are immigrants (Dominican and Chilean). How does this impact their work and our views of them? DS: Writers use the content they’re given to shape their fiction. That includes material from their native countries and their adopted countries. The emotional response to living in another place heightens their sense of being an outsider. That perspective broadens and deepens the narratives they write. But in this instance where we are examining the doubling characteristics—those similarities and differences that define authors—I’m more interested in the distinctions, rather than the parallels, that shape the “Latino” experience of these two writers.

  • Alone Among the Ghosts: Roberto Bolaño's 2666 by Marcela Valdes
    Alone Among the Ghosts: Roberto Bolaño's 2666 By Marcela Valdes This article appeared in the December 8, 2008 edition of The Nation. Carla Rippey The Gardens of Ciudad Juárez, 2006 Marcela Valdes: Roberto Bolaño's last novel, 2666, is his most profound exploration of art and infamy, craft and crime, the writer and the totalitarian state. Shortly before he died of liver failure in July 2003, Roberto Bolaño remarked that he would have preferred to be a detective rather than a writer. Bolaño was 50 years old at the time, and by then he was widely considered to be the most important Latin American novelist since Gabriel García Márquez. But when Mexican Playboy interviewed him, Bolaño was unequivocal. "I would have liked to be a homicide detective, much more than a writer," he told the magazine. "Of that I'm absolutely sure. A string of homicides. Someone who could go back alone, at night, to the scene of the crime, and not be afraid of ghosts." Detective stories, and provocative remarks, were always passions of Bolaño's--he once declared James Ellroy among the best living writers in English--but his interest in gumshoe tales went beyond matters of plot and style. In their essence, detective stories are investigations into the motives and mechanics of violence, and Bolaño--who moved to Mexico the year of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre and was imprisoned during the 1973 military coup in his native Chile--was also obsessed with such matters. The great subject of his oeuvre is the relationship between art and infamy, craft and crime, the writer and the totalitarian state.

Ciudad Juárez: Mexico’s Violent Cradle of Modernity in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 Abstract Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño owes much of his current literary celebrity to the posthumous publication of his magnum opus, 2666. The novel comprises five parts, which ultimately coalesce to create a harrowing portrait of violence against women in a Mexican border town. As this grisly scene unfolds, Bolaño implicates the novel's characters—and, more broadly, the reader—in a crime equally disturbing: inaction, indifference, and thus complicity. However, Bolaño offers artistic solutions to the bleakness of the modern condition: reading and writing. In creating this utterly sui generis novel—and violating established literary norms in the process—Bolaño thus enacts the very solution that he offers to the problems of modernity, a time in which "poetry is the one thing that isn't contaminated."
