‘Woes of the True Policeman,’ by Roberto Bolaño - NYTimes.com

‘Woes of the True Policeman,’ by Roberto Bolaño - NYTimes.com:

"If Roberto Bolaño’s “Woes of the True Policeman” were a pop music CD — rather than a posthumous novel from this Chilean writer who, since his death at 50 in 2003, has emerged as the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation — it would undoubtedly be described as a collection of outtakes, alternate versions and demos. Any assessment, as a consequence, would have to come with an advisory that its primary appeal is to completists only."
