Roberto Bolaño - The Nazi literature in America
fictitious life histories of southern and northern American Nazi writer includes this book. The book reminds quite directly to other fictional essays - here it's just encyclopedia articles on authors. These are all moving in a world of ideas, ranging from personal encounters with and admiration for Hitler, with support of German fascism in 1945 or simply propagated their own settings, to the active support of military dictatorships in Argentina and Chile. Rounding out the book by a fictional person, magazines and reference list with sometimes extensive comments.
partially accepts the quite bizarre forms, as when science fiction literature is written about a fictitious Fourth Reich in America or sealed, a German-Chilean, the outlines of concentration camps. Over all away but you realize the deep embeddedness in reality - only breaks out the final then, if appears in the last story of Carlos Ramirez Hoffmann, the author himself. He as victims of the Chilean fascism under Pinochet - the author of murder, officer and torturer of his poems, which glorify death and violence, with an airplane in the sky records. Until finally is murdered just this.
Finally, it is an impressive game between reality and fiction, which is used as a sort of political trauma is expressed. The literary historical context, it is authentic - and sometimes participating in the killings. Perhaps the hope for a conclusion of the whole - all authors are ultimately identified as dead, sometimes only for 2029.
