When Nuria Marti, the beautiful Spanish figure skater, is suddenly dropped from the Olympic team, a besotted admirer builds a secret ice rink for her in the ruins of an old mansion on the outskirts of their seaside town. What he doesnt tell her is that he paid for it using embezzled public funds. Such deceit is not without repercussions, and the skating rink soon becomes a crime scene . . . Rife with political corruption, sex, jealousy and frustrated passion, Roberto Bolano's The Skating Rink narrated in turn by a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered romantic poet, and a duplicitous local entrepreneur is a darkly atmospheric tale of murder and its motives. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
Tight and sharp copy. Shelf-aged page block, with some light foxing to rear pages and light dust-staining to text block top edge, else fine. Appears unread. Translated by Chris Andrews. 182pp.
