It would be great if you had Cesárea Tinajero's poem in the background or better still if you wore it Pillow Book-style.


But I felt sad while reading that Bolano used to lambast Isabel Allende. He also attacked Gabriel Garcia Marquez and even Mario Vargas Llosa. I loved these people and, even if I do love TBD and 2666, I thought those attacks were uncalled for. Brilliant poets and novelists are strange anyway.
