The Skating Rink - Roberto Bolano
13.95 €
Dropped from the Olympic figure skating team, Nuria Martí’s fate pivots her into a world of corruption, jealousy – and revenge. Cushioning her fall from grace, a besotted admirer builds a secret ice rink for her in the ruins of an old masion on the outskirts of their seaside town. What he doesn’t tell her is he paid for it using public funds. Such deceit is not without repercussions, and the skating rink soon becomes a crime scene. Narrated by a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered romantic poet, and a duplicitous civil servant, The Skating Rink is a darkly atmospheric tale of murder and its motives.

„Bolano több művön dolgozik egyszerre, és ha az egyiket félreteszi, hogy belefogjon egy másikba, sosem felejti el, amit már megírt. Így aztán minden új könyv nagyon ismerős, már ismertük a szereplőit vagy a helyzeteit, következésképp sosem voltak félretéve...
