"The imperative to present the sources of such emotion remains a central feature in Bolaño’s expanding shelf of astonishing fictions, the wellsprings of incomprehensible feeling that hide in even the most abject fool" (Wyatt Mason, The New York Times). Told from the perspective of three different male narrators, Roberto Bolaño's 'La Pista de Hielo' provides a complex and entertaining experience for the hungry minds of mystery readers everywhere. The book was published April 23, 1993, on the anniversary of the death of noble Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes and was translated into English sixteen years later in 2009.
