About this book
Four European critics chase a vanished German novelist to Santa Teresa, a Mexican border city where women are being murdered with impunity. From there the novel branches into five loosely joined parts — a professor losing his grip, an American journalist at a boxing match, a forensic catalogue of the killings, a century-spanning war story — all circling the same desert void. Bolaño's voice is hypnotic, digressive and full of bleak comedy, and the ensemble is enormous. A monumental, genuinely unsettling work that rewards slow commuting reading over many weeks rather than a single sitting.
