A review by jacobinreads
Distant Star by Roberto Bolaño

adventurous dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

A tale of a poet and hopeless obsessive, one which drags the reader along with it. Bolano's prose was intense and engrossing, if at times difficult to situate oneself to.
