Oh. That long. I'll say that it's worth finishing, though.

I love the first part, told from the single narrator. Then the interview section started, and I kept hoping it would be over soon, but it goes on forever, and gets more crushingly depressing as it goes on. I'm a big fan of Love in the Time of Cholera, and I enjoyed Like Water for Chocolate when I read it a while ago. Bolano seems a bit too uber-literate for me, I guess. Do you use Good Reads?
