New Directions, as usual, has done an excellent job bringing an amazing author to English readers (I could go on about my consistently amazing experiences with the stuff New Directions puts out, but that is an essay in and of itself). Bolano takes the short story and uses it to its full potential. Each story is perfectly formed and staggering in how much is said with so little space. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/90254?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
