more 2666

Still reading 2666, now up to p 350 or so. Still very impressive in terms of structure, juxtaposition of imagery, prose quality (yes, I know it's a translation, but it doesn't read like one). And very weird... and I'm only a third of the way through!

RIP David Foster Wallace

If I can't get my novel published I'm going to serialize it on the Internet, and publicize the event. I'm thinking media stunt.

Next: THE LEGEND OF JIMMY GOLLIHUE

2666

I have the ARC of 2666, and I'm up to page 75 or so. Those of you who are reading this (almost no one) and who've read Bolano (sorry for the lack of tilde) know what a big thing this is. Probably there are a couple hundred folks out there who've finished 2666 in English.

So far: BRILLIANT

And when they said Uncorrected Proof they weren't kidding.
