"Bolaño's final. Is it better than the rest because of its proximity to abrupt plateauing of his skill? I don't know about that. What I do know is that it continues to highlight the ease and care with which he paints his portraits, each vivid despite the frugal use of brush strokes.

"The skill with which the author slips into such different narrative voice and body between stories, conjuring world-first terminology that manages to make sense without even once attenptibg to explain what they are or mean, is the hallmark of a master craftsman.
