"This novel seems accessible for readers who are new to Bolano and interested in plunging one of his works. It’s not a huge, toe-crunching, 898-page tome like 2666 (my personal fave). Nor is it a wildly fragmented romp with dozens and dozens of characters like The Savage Detectives. It’s not an overtly political tale like Amulet where a character gets trapped in a bathroom during student protests. It’s not dominated by the dying rants of priest as in By Night in Chile..." - Chris Oleson reviews The Spirit of Science Fiction by Roberto Bolano
