...side with its main competition - Apple's iPhone 3G and T-Mobile's G1 (the "Google phone") - the novelty quickly wore off. I hate the click screen, and none of the handful of people I let try it had anything nice to say about it either.

...Yalies even stooped so low as to send some of their goons (presumably from New Haven Community College...or WAIT, isn’t that Yale?!) dressed in HUPD costumes to chase us down.

At the time of his death, from liver disease, in 2003, Bolao was a major writer in the Spanish-speaking world but virtually unknown and untranslated in English. Why that should be is not much of a mystery. Bolao, who was born in Chile and spent most of his life in Mexico and Spain, is a difficult, angry, self-reflexive writer who lived an erratic and occasionally unpleasant life...
