A review by bean_season
The Third Reich by Roberto BolaƱo
Told my husband a bit about the plot he and asked me if a man wrote it. š
I'm not the one generalizing!
This is my first BolaƱo, and I hadn't realized he'd written it early and purposefully never published it, but it was intriguing enough that I'm still keen to read more.
I'm glad I didn't know he had made such nasty remarks about Isabel Allende or I might not have checked him out. When asked what she thought of him, she said "Roberto BolaƱo has been translated in the US receiving positive criticism and success, it is a pity that he passed away. For us as Chileans it is an honor that BolaƱo represents us. However, we have to remember that BolaƱo considered me to be garbage but that doesnāt take any merit away from him." [not my translation]
