Can we still be friends?!? Funny you picking up on that word b/c I believe I weirded out Frances by calling her and Emily "Woolf fanatics" earlier in the year.

In Catalan, he and Ingeborg meet another German couple and become friends. There's a mysterious man known as Quemado? Nothing interesting happens until Charly disappears.<br /><br />This is an unedited novel from 1989 that any Bolaño fan will like. It was found after his death. The second part of <i>The Third Reich</i> is better because it has more intrigue, but overall it's not that bad.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058705381647529328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-75902268949735904582010-07-29T11:02:07.330-04:002010-07-29T11:02:07.330-04:00*Emily: I guess there's a good reason why auth...*Emily: I guess there's a good reason why authors leave manuscripts unfinished/unpublished then, huh?
