What Bolaño Read (Updated)

Auf dem offiziellen Blog des National Book Circle Board of directors wird seit einigen Tagen eine Kolumne mit dem Titel “What Bolaño read” veröffentlicht. Hier die Einleitung:

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be hosting “What Bolaño Read,” a series of posts by Tom McCartan charting the reading habits of Roberto Bolaño, the Chilean novelist, poet, and short story writer who won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction for 2666 this year. Bolaño was a prolific writer, the author of numerous books, including 2666, The Savage Detectives, and By Night in Chile, but he was also a dedicated reader–and his diverse reading influenced his work in many ways. The series celebrates the publication of Roberto Bolaño: The Last Interview & Other Conversations, which is just out from Melville House, with an introduction by recent NBCC board member Marcela Vales.

In his “Intellectual Affairs” column, NBCC board member Scott McLemee wrote yesterday about his conversation with Marcela Valdes, herself a former board member who wrote the introductory essay in The Last Interview and Other Conversations.It’s a fascinating conversation, ranging over issues from the status of translation in American literary culture to the critical predilections of the author. And it whets the appetite for the translated collection of Bolano’s nonfiction writing, which Valdes notes should arrive in 2011.
