from New Directions Publishing Corporation
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
What I have come to appreciate reading Bolaño's book is the fact that he takes you on several small journeys getting you from plot-point to plot-point.

from University of Wisconsin Press
Price: $17.95

Customer Review:
This book has brought back to me what many surviving torture victims were dealt with, when many found out they survived by selling out other countrymen/ women who disappeared.
