Nazi Literature in the Americas
by Roberto Bolaño
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bolaño, merciless and endlessly inventive, skewers the putative Fourth Reich in the Americas, while leaving an imaginative history to teach the conditions that allowed Colonia Dignidad, Operation Condor, the overthrow of Allende by the Chicago Boys, the implementation of the Jakarta Method, etc. Highlighting the second-tier intellectual class that perpetuates and facilitates the fascist international, Bolaño shows how imperative it is to understand that these people worked these ideas out in broad daylight, and still do. To truly grasp the leadership of the modern "alt-right," we should keep an eye on who they read. And they do read, believe it or not. Bronze Age Pervert, et al. Stay frosty, amigos.
