...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.

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...
