A review by hearingtrumpet
Amulet by Roberto Bolaño

4.0

I am still not quite sure what this book was about, but I liked it nevertheless. A lot of the ideas and characters that later reappear and are developed further in the Savage Detectives and 2666 ( the number even comes up once in the) come up in this early novel. And early it may be, it is still unmistakably Bolaño. The violence, the madness and the beauty that lurks beneath.
