Salon Van Ness First Communique

Salon Premiere:

Where: Ladies' Fort 1334 S Van Ness
When: Thursday, June 4 19h (meetings will then be weekly on thursday)

Assignment:

I received my copy of The Savage Detectives, opened to the first page, and found that at least our initial protagonist is a student of the law who abandons his studies to join a group of renegade poets called the Visceral Realists.

For Thursday's meeting, please read the introduction to the English edition, and the first 75 pages (up to the "November 21" diary entry).

Also, I found this a helpful backdrop: New Yorker on Bolano http://tinyurl.com/ons8nq

I am making you all Bloggers for this here blog - we can wax on any and all crap that comes up in our readings and discussions, or share supplemental readings with each other.
