About what we chatted about this afternoon - finally found the note sent by my friend PJ of University of Salamanca:
"Mario Vargas Llosa singled out Bolano for comment in his recent
acceptance speech for an honourary doctorate at the University of La
Rioja, also singling out Los detectives salvajes, me parece, as a work
whose time has not yet perhaps come. Matthew must be a pretty cool
bookseller to have such similar thoughts to such a great writer!"
Wow - nice note.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell your friend PJ I am blushing now...
I did once meet Mario Vargas Llosa (whose books I also love) but I was totally star-struck and made a right tit of myself. He certainly didn't think he shared any thoughts with me - I think he thought I was insane!
When I meet Mr Bolano (in hell) I'm sure we will get on.
