Reviews

Distant Star reads as a collection of vignettes (or tangents) all relating to Carlos Wieder. While it is a bit hard to follow, I somewhat enjoyed it. I like that the ending is a bit ambiguous. Although, the crime/detective bit towards the end is a weird part that feels a bit forced in it.

Bolano für Einsteiger. Eignet sich zum Antesten. Wenn euch dieses kleine Büchlein gefallen hat, stürzt euch in die wilden Detektive. Derselbe mäandernde, ziellose, ungezwungene Stil, derselbe dunkle Humor, derselbe unbedingte Glaube an die Kunst.
