Cover painting by Hilla Schürholz. Accompanied by the original publisher's 'La Pista de Hielo' informational bookmark. "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.

First edition of this modern classic, which was named one of the New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by the translator Natasha Wimmer on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Rodrigo Corral. Jacket lettering by Jennifer van Dalsen. Translated from Spanish by Natasha Wimmer. James Wood wrote in The New York Times, "A novel all about poetry and poets, one of whose heroes is a lightly disguised version of the author himself: how easily this could be nothing more than a precious lattice of ludic narcissism and unbearably "literary" adventures...The novel is wildly enjoyable (as well as, finally, full of lament), in part because Bolaño, despite all the game-playing, has a worldly, literal sensibility."
