the english version of this book hasn’t come out yet. It comes out in november. as such, I offer no spoilers. i’m here to make three points:

2) the disaster
3) the women
1) y’know that bookbuzz you get when you’re walking around the world and it’s all colored with the life of the book you’re reading? 894 pages of bolano’s epic and I felt like the guy in those 50s sci-fi movies who gets shrunk down real small and is injected into someone’s body. ex...more

Definitely worth it. Looking forward to Bolano's poetry being released in English.
