Bolano puts forth a compilation of 30 peculiar biographies of fictitious Pan American writers in the 20th century accentuating quite a few brazen out supremacists, interlaced with the triviality of malevolence and complex yet vibrant inhabitations of bizarre hermits spurning volatile prose and erudite parody of eccentric cerebral subjugation. Although not Bolano’s treasure, it does illuminate the excruciating passion and mordant stupor he is reputed for.
