Symbolism / Decadence
1857–1900s, France
- Where in Bolaño
- Through its figures rather than by name: Baudelaire's epigraph to 2666, Verlaine in the taxonomy, Louÿs as García Madero's reading, Schwob behind Nazi Literature in the Americas
- What it was
- The poetry of correspondence, artifice and the abyss; the "oasis of horror" line that governs 2666 is its purest distillate.
