Imagine how much easier it would\u2019ve been to have that experience in one prolonged five-hour session at the theater! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/31\/theater\/2666-a-most-difficult-novel-takes-the-stage.html?ref=arts&amp;mtrref=undefined\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Falls and Seth Bockley are bringing Bola\u00f1o\u2019s opus to the stage next month, at the Goodman Theatre<\/a>: \u201cThe play is being presented with three intermissions. To keep things moving, Mr. Falls and Mr. Bockley boiled the novel down to essential characters and story lines, though they would periodically restore some of the stories-within-stories-within-stories, like the tale of a painter who attaches his mummified hand to a self-portrait \u2026 The directors and the design team worked to create a distinct style for each of the five parts, keyed to the radically different literary genres Mr. Bola\u00f1o drew on: fairy tale, hard-boiled crime novel, academic satire, lyrical short story, <em>Don Quixote<\/em>\u2013style picaresque.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, in Chile: Ariel Lewiton is on the hunt for Neruda\u2019s ghost. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/catapult.co\/stories\/ghosts-of-chile\" target=\"_blank\">Isla Negra was the home Neruda loved best<\/a>, the one for which he\u2019d written: <em>The house \u2026 I don\u2019t know when it was born in me \u2026 For the first time I felt the prick of the scent of the winter sea\u2014a mixture of laurel and salty sand, seaweed and thistle, struck me<\/em>. It was here I believed I would finally find Neruda \u2026 I had not thought to bring flowers. I walked past the grave to where the hill gave way to the sea. At the shore, waves thrashed the rocks. I took off my shoes and waded out from the land. The water was so cold it burned and I stood there for a while with the ocean biting at my ankles.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>And while we\u2019re focusing on the Spanish language, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/translation-tuesdays-by-asymptote-journal\/2016\/jan\/26\/translation-tuesday-the-letter-a-from-a-17th-century-spanish-dictionary\" target=\"_blank\">Janet Hendrickson has translated entries from the letter <em>a\u00a0<\/em>in a seventeenth-century Spanish dictionary<\/a>. Among the words: <em>apio <\/em>(celery), \u201cthe symbol of sadness and weeping\u201d; <em>alba <\/em>(dawn), \u201cWhat is that? Nothing but the dawn as it walks among the cabbages\u201d; and <em>andr\u00f3geno <\/em>(hermaphrodite), \u201cSome say that women have three wombs on the right and three on the left and one in the middle; some wombs create males, the others females, and the one in the middle hermaphrodites. And others attribute even more wombs to women, and many allow for none of this.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Did you know? Between long bouts of poverty, disease, and malnutrition, people in the Middle Ages occasionally had fun. They did this by playing cards, mainly. And you should see these cards, on display now at the Cloisters Museum here in New York: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/node\/21689170\/\" target=\"_blank\">The decks on view are often beautiful, and sometimes poetic; a number are humorous and a few downright bawdy<\/a>. For instance, on one card (pictured above) a woman with long blonde braids sits on a stool milking a grumpy cow\u2014which on inspection proves to be a bull. Another portrays a woman passing a phallic-looking tree on her way to market. One hand balances the basket of geese on her head, the other lifts her long skirt above her knee. Geese are not all that is for sale.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s been plenty of attention paid to Nabokov\u2019s recently collected letters to his wife, V\u00e9ra\u2014but why hasn\u2019t anyone told me before now that he used those letters to chronicle everything he\u2019d eaten for the day? The Nabokov diet, writes Nina Martyris, was hardly gourmet: \u201cNabokov kept his promise of sending her a daily bulletin, which included a scrupulous itemization of his meals. Listing every meal he ate was clearly a drudgery, but he hurried on with it by squashing the menu between parentheses: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thesalt\/2016\/01\/26\/464343304\/lolita-and-lollipops-what-nabokov-had-to-say-about-nosh\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018(A couple of meatballs\u2014cold-cuts, sausage, radishes)\u2019; \u2018(cold-cuts, fried eggs, a cold meatball)\u2019; or \u2018(liver and gooseberry jelly\u2014a sort of frog caviar).\u2019<\/a> Occasionally, there was a dry barb: \u2018incomprehensible meat,\u2019 and more rarely, a stab of praise, \u2018magnificent blueberry soup.\u2019 But mostly it was a boring plod of cold cuts and compotes.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It feels like only yesterday that I was lugging my hardcover of 2666 around town, regularly having my mind blown on subway cars, buses, park benches, et cetera.
