The Spirit of Science Fiction by Roberto Bolaño: 2/5 

not much of it resonated with me, as i didn’t understand a lot of the poetry references. i did enjoy the letters written to sci fi writers that explored the impact and questions of the genre. the ending section was bizarre to me. after researching more about the author and this book, i found out it might’ve been non-consensually published after the author’s death which explains the fragmented way it’s been pieced together. overall im not sure i understood the book to the fullest, only grasping straw that it was about two friends trying to explore the world through literature at the peak of their youths.
