About this listen
Del Opus Dei e importante crítico literario chileno vivió durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix nos narra sus recuerdos padeciendo una fiebre muy alta y nos hace partícipes de algunos sucesos históricos en los que él participó en su natal Chile y sin entender el porqué sucedió así, también nos hace ver su relación con importantes figuras del ámbito político y cultural chileno, como Neruda y Pinochet. El ritmo narrativo de Bolaño nos hace entender en su particular punto de vista que los acontecimientos históricos en gran parte son generados al libitum y no planeados como la historia lo cuenta una vez consumado el hecho …

Story
Todos los textos aquí reunidos tratan sobre ese oscuro lugar de placer y dolor que es la pareja: esto es, tratan del amor y del desamor, de la necesidad y la invención del otro. Son historias que hablan del deseo carnal y la pasión; de la costumbre y la desesperación; de la felicidad y del infierno. Estos relatos, a menudo inquietantes, agridulces, llenos de sentido del humor y de la melancolía del amor, componen un sugestivo espejo de nuestra intimidad más turbia y más profunda, de ese territorio abisal e incandescente que siempre se resiste a ser nombrado.

Ixtepec se ubica en la tierra caliente del corazón de México, en un sitio que es todos y es ninguno, pues se trata del pueblo imaginario en que Elena Garro ambientó su representación de los convulsos años posrevolucionarios de un México en el que la injusticia del despojo de tierras, el racismo y la violencia contra las mujeres eran, como lo son hoy, un asunto de todos los días. Fábula poderosa de las heridas históricas de un país y una época, Los recuerdos del porvenir está llamada a ocupar, finalmente, su sitio como un clásico indiscutible de la literatura hispanoamericana.

El cuerpo resulta ser de la Bruja, una mujer que heredó dicho oficio de su madre fallecida, y a quienes los pobladores de esa zona rural respetaban y temían. Tras el macabro hallazgo, las sospechas y habladurías recaerán sobre un grupo de muchachos del pueblo, a quienes días antes una vecina vio mientras huían de casa de la hechicera, cargando lo que parecía ser un cuerpo inerte.

Story
Historias de cronopios y de famas (1962) es uno de los libros legendarios de Julio Cortázar. Postulación de una mirada poética capaz de enfrentar las miserias de la rutina y del sentido común, Cortázar toma aquí partido por la imaginación creadora, el humor corrosivo de los surrealistas y el absurdo trascendental de la patafísica. Esta colección de cuentos, instrucciones y viñetas entrañables es una puerta de acceso privilegiada al inagotable mundo de uno de los más grandes escritores de este siglo y un antídoto seguro contra la solemnidad y el aburrimiento.

"Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la crítica, está ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo, que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oníricas, ahondando más allá de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qué momento son sueño, vida, fábula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al través de la perspicacia despiadada y certera de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor". Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valdés la primera reseña de Pedro Páramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Juan Rulfo entre sus papeles.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Good story
But it is not Bolano's best. It can't compare to "The Savage Detectives" (his masterpiece) or "2666". Good performance overall.

Good performance and better novel.
Uno de los libros de Bolaño que quizá capture de manera más breve que las otras novelas los principales temas de su obra: el fracaso de los movimientos revolucionarios en AL, la complicidad de la clase intelectual con los regímenes dictatoriales o represores, la naturaleza del mal, etc. La narración es buena, con acento chileno y fácil de seguir. Las diferentes voces que utiliza el actor son fácilmente discernibles y transmiten, dentro de lo posible, la naturaleza de cada personaje. Bastante recomendable.

El narrador tiene acento n.americano con "tr"
Would you listen to Nocturno de Chile [By Night in Chile] again? Why?
Me costaba escuchar este libro porque me fijaba (quizá demasiado) en el hecho de que el narrador no puede pronunciar "tr." Le sale como los norteamericanos pronuncian "tr" en palabras como "train" o "troup" -- es decir, como "chr." Si se fija bien, escucha como el señor pronuncia todas las palabras con "tr" como "otro", "contra", "mientras", etcétera. Y ni siquiera trata de imitar un acento chileno ni fingir voces distintas para los diferentes papeles. Si quiere saber de este libro, sugiero que lo lea.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Nocturno de Chile [By Night in Chile]?
Los partes con Pinochet y el fin.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Dramatiza demasiado, como si fuera actor de telenovelas malas. Pronuncia "tr" como "chr". p.e. ochro -> otro, conchra -> contra, mienchras -> mientras, chratar -> tratar.

El viaje
Cuando se lee, o en este caso se oye, a Bolaño, es seguro que entraremos en un viaje imaginario y tangible en el que siempre volveremos a donde salimos. En el transcurso conoceremos de historia, de leyendas bien contadas y de amores, pero sobre todo de inmejorable literatura.
