A Conversation With Latinos on Race - The New York Times:
"Last year we set out to make a series of short documentaries that we hoped would foster a discussion about race relations in the United States. To date the series has focused on the personal nuances of systemic racism as reflected in the relationship between blacks and whites. And while that dynamic is a significant part of the American story of race, it does not fully reflect the country’s varied history and rapidly changing demographics. So for our next installment of our “Conversation on Race” series, we decided to go broader, and hear from Latinos on their experiences here."

The Republican race, by contrast, has seen a lot of consolidation — it’s pretty much down to a two-man race — but the outcome is still up for grabs.

A Trip Through a Literary Labyrinth in Roberto Bolaño’s New Novel, ‘2666’ - The New York Times
A Trip Through a Literary Labyrinth in Roberto Bolaño’s New Novel, ‘2666’ - The New York Times:
"There’s a four-and-a-half-page-long monster sentence early in the first part of Roberto Bolaño’s five-part posthumous magnum opus “2666.” It’s nothing particularly showy or strenuous. A lot of commas adorn this story of a Swabian who promoted cultural events for a Frisian town that was visited by an elusive literary genius who might or might not have been named Benno von Archimboldi and who spoke with a woman who went to Buenos Aires and met a little gaucho who presented her with a riddle that Archimboldi solved on the spot. For all its twists and turns the sentence reads as if Bolaño wrote it without breaking a sweat."

Review: Bolaño’s Mysterious ‘2666,’ Distilled to 5½ Hours by the Goodman Theater - The New York Times
Review: Bolaño’s Mysterious ‘2666,’ Distilled to 5½ Hours by the Goodman Theater - The New York Times:
"CHICAGO — The obvious challenge in adapting a novel to the stage is how to make a story lying flat on the page leap to three-dimensional life. The task is particularly confounding in the case of “2666,” Roberto Bolaño’s magnum opus, published after his death at 50 in 2003. The book spans two continents, nearly a century, two converging story lines — each dangling digressions like an overtrimmed Christmas tree — and runs to around 900 pages of dense prose."
