A review by thechexican
Last Evenings on Earth by Roberto Bolaño

4.0

The characters in Bolaños’ stories feel unsure of their place in the world, which makes sense, as their author was a political exile himself. The back of the book quotes him as describing his work as, “the melancholy folklore of exile”. There’s another quote on the back of the book that resonates, “I am addicted to the haze that floats over Bolaños fiction.”
An addictive, hazy melancholy is the best I can do to describe the reading experience.
