Blogging Bolaño 2666 6/29

Had to get a day away from 2666 most of the day, it was too sunny out for the dark stretches of the book. 'The Part About The Crimes' section (4)is drawing to an end and has been harrowing. I should make it through tomorrow and then start on sec. 5 p. 637 which I will not finish on that day but likely Tuesday, or more likely Wednesday on the train ride up to Seattle. We are leaving Portland in the afternoon and arriving in Seattle for dinner with Maya's cousin and probably Zabel. The next day we're headed to Vancouver to see my friend Virginia and hang for the weekend of the forth. We're not expecting any fireworks up there.
