Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted so badly to like this book. Maybe it was a bad Bolaño book to start with, and the more I‘ve thought about it, the more I understand it, but I still found many of the actions of the characters to be so totally baffling to their somewhat established personas, that it was completely distracting and vexing. Anyway, I‘ll try another Bolaño book!

What I knew about this book before I read it, was great: two Germans on holiday in Spain get enmeshed in Third Reich, A World War II strategy game, when they discover that the game's consequences may be all too real. When I read it I didn't think it so good unfortunately.
