Bolaño's star is so ascendant right now that there is no need for me to point out anything but his name on the cover. Let me simply say that Bolaño was a poet before he was ever a novelist, and it shows here. The work is insouciant, literary, historically nihilistic. It's been one of my favorite books of the past year.
