Longtime friend, ATEOH supporter and commentator of Latin American politics, Pat Cabell, joins us for a discussion on the great Chilean novelist, Robert Bolaño, and his work's relevance to themes of realism, international relations and revolutionary politics.  Drawing from an array of texts including 2666, By Night in Chile  and Distant Star and the works of Frederic Jameson and Guy Debord, Pat guides us through an exploration of the Chilean master's key thematic elements, including the persistence of fascist violence, the vanishing of socialist utopianism and its replacement by transnational narco-narratives. What is the longer historic pattern Bolaño's work fits within?
