could be read as a satirical/ironic sort of refraction of the groups and cliques of leftist writers that Bolaño was a part of and parodies further in Savage Detectives. But also, this is obviously inspired by a very real presence of Nazi Literature in the Americas, these could all be real people and probably were inspired by some, just like the kinds of refractions of reality Bolaño does in 2666 (some characters from 2666 such as the crucified General Entrescu are prefigured here).

The NY Times review of this is called "The Sound and The Führer" which is hilarious and has some great lines: "Among the many acid pleasures of the work of Roberto Bolaño, who died at 50 in 2003, is his idea that culture, in particular literary culture, is a whore. In the face of political repression, upheaval and danger, writers continue to swoon over the written word, and this, for Bolaño, is the source both of nobility and of pitch-black humor." ... "Substitute, say, 'language poetry' for 'fascism' and the trajectory of these invented lives would be much the same as they are for the busy networks of real writers Bolaño knew from the inside out." ... "Moreover, literature, Bolaño writes, 'is a surreptitious form of violence, a passport to respectability, and can, in certain young and sensitive nations, disguise the social climber’s origins.'" oh, Bolaño, if you could see the state of literature today....
