    <body><![CDATA[One of the New Directions series that came out this year, <em>The Skating Rink</em> is a brief, intense, and very memorable novel from Bolano.  It could have been one of the many branching stories that populate <em>2666</em>, it even shares some themes, and even scenes, with that monster of a book.  It is a story of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72688703">more...</a>]]></body>

I have looked forward to surrounding myself again with the sometimes  &quot;fog&quot; of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66415035">more...</a>]]></body>
