I couldn't tell you what this novel is about. I don't know that I'd necessarily recommend it to anyone. Now that I've read it, I can't say that I would have read it if I'd known what I was getting into. I do know that it'll stay with me for a long time.

An incredible feat to keep my attention for 39 hours, and the only flaw of this book is that it needs one last deep edit. It does not feel finished.
At the same time, it is this flaw, with Bolano racing against time to finish it before his death that gives the novel an extra layer that allows this flaw to be acceptable, and perhaps even raises the book in terms of enjoyment.

first book to ever make me genuinely nauseous. almost stopped entirely when i hit The Part About the Crimes. that was a weird summer when i read this one.
Has its moments and was enjoyable. Will have to read again someday.
A brutal book that has no answers and even the questions are obscure. Some characters feel pulled from life and some are cartoonish to the point of absurdity; the effect is disorienting.
