Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Our first Roberto Bolano talk! Let's talk about "Clara" a short story published in the August 4, 2008 issue of The New Yorker! A wonderful piece that we have an interesting take on! We don't expect you have to view this story this way but have an interesting look at how he may be using the Male Gaze to talk about women. We chose this as a part of an effort to read more broadly for #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

. What did you guys think of this story? Our copy was translated by Chris Andrews.
