From: bookie Category: Books Date: 26 April 2007 Time: 07:45 AM Review: Bad idea you might say to review a book after only having read 100 pages. But this the time when you feel the excitement/ the buzz of a new (to you) author. Bolano has an easy, insolently readable, style. And his warring semi-autobiographical poets capture you. Yes. This Bolano (dead at 50, too too early), has something good, great perhaps, I'll read on, and see where he takes me.
