Roberto Bolano

Өнөөдөр Роберто Болано хэмээх Чили зохиолчийн нэг шүлгийг уншсан нь тун их таалагдав

My Gift To You
My gift to you will be an abyss, she said,
but it will be so subtle you’ll perceive it
only after many years have passed
and you are far from Mexico and me.
You’ll find it when you need it most,
and that . won’t be
the happy ending,
but it will be an instant of emptiness and joy.
And maybe then you’ll remember me,
if only just a little

Тэрбээр роман, богино өгүүллэг, шүлэг, эссе бичдэг байсан аж. New York Times түүнийг " Цаг үеийнхээ  Латин Америк уран зохиолын  хамгийн хүчирхэг дуу хоолой" гэж тодорхойлсон байна. 

"The truth is we never stop being children, terrible children covered in sores and knotty veins and tumors and age spots, but ultimately children, in other words we never stop clinging to life because we are life."
"Nothing good ever comes of love. What comes of love is always something better."
"We’re artists too, but we do a good job hiding it, don’t we?"
"When I was done traveling, I returned convinced of one thing: we’re nothing"
"Books are finite, sexual encounters are finite, but the desire to read and to fuck is infinite; it surpasses our own deaths, our fears, our hopes for peace."
