I've read The Savage Detectives (what was the other detective novel you were thinking of?) and thoroughly enjoyed its cacophany of voices and characters. This book is far less populous, far more satisfying narratively but certainly less ambitious in terms of scope. Maybe that might disappoint you in terms of adventure, this book is much darker and more focused than the Bolano I've read.William Rycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056188088340973039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-12373851149749408892012-08-06T20:48:33.196+01:002012-08-06T20:48:33.196+01:00I wonder how it compares along side the two Bolano...I wonder how it compares along side the two Bolano detective novels that aren't really detective fiction more musings on the novels as a form ,I like sound of this book but just how adventurous is it ?,all the best stustujallenhttp://winstonsdad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
