Tony. A beer for you. Hope you are well. Drmies (talk) 02:49, 20 November 2024 (UTC) |
- Drmies, thanks for leaving this. Glad to see there's people around who still think of me. Hope you and your family are doing well and have a great holiday season :) TonyBallioni (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely, old friend and colleague. I hope you're doing well. Wait. Did I see you edit Bolano? DYK that once upon a time I taught 2666? One of the greatest novels ever. Drmies (talk) 00:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Bolaño is my favorite author. I'm making my way through 2666 in Spanish now - one of the things that makes him such a master of Spanish prose is his unique ability to use the exact word he means to in every situation. The other thing that's interesting in 2666 from the Spanish prose perspective is because of the unique circumstances of his life, his writing style changes depending on the geography of where he's writing about/the nationality of the characters. In Mexico he writes using Mexican vocabulary. In Spain, he writes like a Spaniard, the Chilean characters speak chileno etc. Its a work of art on so many levels.Re: his article, yes, I was going to try to update his article a bit by translating from the es.wiki article on him( es:Roberto Bolaño.) Main problem is that a lot of the sources are print that aren't easily available in the US and I didn't want to introduce content I didn't have the ability to verify (in part because I'd be translating a summary into a summary in another language, and I feel like there's too much room for error there, even though my Spanish is professional level.)
