review 1: Bolano is so many things at once – a fabulist, a man of lists, an author who uses humor and irony so deftly that it all becomes quite poetic. And he is also a man of many nooks and crannies who glories and delights in the many ways he can mine that vein of his own special literature – one he helps the reader create. If only he had been able to finish this book, if only he had lived a bit longer…
review 2: I knew Bolano's work only from a couple of short stories in the New Yorker. I was excited to run across this novel at the library, but I wish I had started with a different one. This was put together by editors after his death. It is incomplete and feels incomplete. Parts of it were wonderful reading. But parts of it were long discussions of European a... morend Latin American authors I haven't read, and that was a bit tedious. less
