Pretty uneventful, but interesting to say the least. He's an aspiring literary critic (and later becomes reputable for it) that moves amongst Chilean's elite poets and authors through Farewell (the best lit critic out there), and even crosses paths with greats like Neruda and attends his funeral. He is also a priest, but just because of the events that played out as a child (not wholeheartedly). This wasn't a one night event as I previously thought, but a stream of thoughts, ideas, and mild ramblings that are exchanged amongst him and Chile's high society. I found myself puzzled.. wasn't I just reading about him wandering through the streets at night and now he's giving three different lessons to these officianados on Marx and Engels? It was still interesting enough to follow through with it and the rants about literature and Chile and all the abouts that keep the culture prosperous despite tough times, but I do miss the mild suspense I get from reading his novels.
