>what's outside the window?
hopefully a paragraph break or two tbpfhwy
"Outside" is ambiguous here: do you mean it in a 2D or 3D sense? If 2D, then the answer is {"FEBRUARY 15", "What's outside the window?", the dashed frame of the window} i.e. a 3-element set. If, however, you meant it in the 3D sense where you're supposed to 'look through' the window, as it were, then the answer is: O.
On a serious note though, a dashed rectangle is not a window: it is a dashed rectangle. Hence "what's outside the window?" is really a context-sensitive question: it may bear either of the truth-values ∈ {T, F} depending on whom you are asking (what's outside of my window isn't outside of your window, unless you're currently hiding in one of my closets).
the street, bushes, front lawn, lumps of snow

>O.
I meant the empty set: O (inb4 this too won't be recognized as a valid symbol by the 4chan trash of a system)

Most people expect looking outside the window to mean that you are inside a building looking out, not outside looking in.

Clearly redirected back to you, since she isn't retard and can think for herself without being spoonfed like an idiot.
You should check out John Green's books, they're more suited for you.

I started reading this books. Does it get more focused towards the end? because so far it's about like 40 different stories and they don't go anywhere so far and I'm getting bored.

That's just a subversion of expectations not irony.
Anything you want there to be
A question, and a date lacking all significance.
>>7750455
...but that is irony.
From a 2d perspective it should be asking "what's inside the window?" Though this may have led to the complete opposite expectation of people standing in a room looking out.

You were saying?
>>7750489
heh that's pretty good
>>7750448

>>7750486

asking someone if they want something to drink, then punching them in the face is not "ironic"
>>7750798
>No, but dousing them with a bucket of water would be.

Just finished this book a few hours ago.
What can be seen "outside" the window - the frame that limits and contextualises our view - can be only partially visible, thus we have to rely on other people's explanations (see Feb. 13). Sometimes the view from the window is obscured and we see nothing at all despite having been told that otherwise, as in the entry on the 14th, when the sheets cover the window.
The "outside" in the entry on the 15th stands for what is there when the window, the frame we see the world through, dissolves. We can see everything we want to because there is no one who is telling us what we see and who provides a frame to see through.
Although there is a plot and structure to The Savage Detectives, it's still on us to to glue the pieces together and to make sense out of it. It doesn't matter if Bolano left a message in there or not because the narrative of the book isn't bound to the form of the medium

nope, it's a gorillion pages of references to poets, some obscure and some blatant, that shows that the bohemian impoverished artist lifestyle is actually shit and it ends with knife dick chasing them through the desert and getting killed and both madero and the slut disappearing
all of the visceral realists grow up to have shitty lives or abandon their passions for poetry
