La escritura como actitud: Roberto Bolaño contra el Esprit de Sérieux. Lectura de la novela El Tercer Reich

Abstract

This paper examines the posthumous work of Roberto Bolaño, El Tercer Reich (2010). It starts identifying the theme and the structural elements that guide the development of his writing, and the final conclusions are that the novel is a reflection on literature, and the technique used is burlesque writing. This allows delivering truthfully the marginal voice used to narrate the story and the allegory that represents each character and some text passages, beside other techniques that Bolaño will be perfecting later on his more admired novels.
