Dee reviewed The secret of evil by Roberto Bolaño
2.5
3 stars
Most of this fell flat. ‘Beach’ and ‘Muscles’ were alright… Overall: 2.5 stars + honorary ghost point for the Alfred Jarry mention…
This was a posthumous publication of his short pieces put together by other people, so it’s unknown how Bolaño would have ordered these sketches and narratives—from having recently read ‘Antwerp,’ I’d like to give the dead man the benefit of the doubt and assume this would have been much better if processed by him.
