Publisher's summary

El perenne detective salvaje Arturo Belano presenta al lector un retrato de Carlos Wieder, poeta y aviador, encarnación de la más profunda infamia.

Alberto Ruiz-Tagle, fascinante y seductor poeta autodidacta habitual de los talleres literarios del Chile de Salvador Allende, y Carlos Wieder, piloto de las fuerzas aéreas chilenas que escribía versículos de la Biblia con el humo de una avioneta tras el golpe de estado de Pinochet: una y otra cara de la misma moneda, uno y el mismo oscuro personaje. Un individuo, encarnación pura del mal y la crueldad, que el narrador de esta historia, el alter ego de Bolaño y perenne detective salvaje Arturo Belano, se cuida de desmenuzar.

Esfumado durante la transición democrática, el poeta y el investigador Abel Romero irán tras sus huellas y las de las desaparecidas hermanas Garmendia para hacer justicia al margen de la ley. La búsqueda conducirá sus pasos a ambos lados del Atlántico, de Chile y México a Barcelona y Blanes, hundiéndose en el más profundo vórtice de la infamia.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Critic reviews

"Todos los escritores quieren ser como Bolaño: innovadores y audaces en el estilo, seductores en la narración; en otras palabras, excepcionales." (Scott Bryan Wilson, The Quarterly Conversation)

"Me temo que hay que haber vivido y leído tanto como Bolaño para leerlo con propiedad." (Jorge Carrión)

3/5

Bolaños nos acostumbró a historias tan buenas que en esta, que no deja de serlo, se siente la diferencia.

HASTA EN SUS TRABAJOS MENORES

Hasta en sus trabajos menores se nota la grandeza de Bolaño. Sin embargo, le doy tan solo tres estrellas a este audiolibro por la lectura. ¿Profesional? Sí. Pero un tanto tediosa.

Turn around

Stay away from this mess of a story. Bland, uninspired, boring. The performance of the audio book was very good though.
