Tres versiones de un crimen: la de un chileno con pretensiones de escritor; la de un mexicano, tambien poeta, que sobrevive como vigilante nocturno en un camping, y la de un emprendedor catalan metido a politico, capaz de todo por llamar la atencion de una bella y caprichosa patinadora. Esta novela contiene las claves del universo literario de Bolano: las voces entrelazadas que anuncian polifonias posteriores, la clave policiaca, los amores rotos, las ilusiones perdidas, y tambien su capacidad de observar la realidad e interpretarla de forma singular, su pulso narrativo o su humor feroz para atrapar al lector desde la primera pagina. / Three versions of a crime: That of a Chilean with dreams of being a writer, that of a Mexican poet who earns a living as a security guard of a camping site, and that of an entrepreneurial Catalan involved in politics, capable of doing anything to get the attention of a beautiful and whimsical ice skater.
