A hypnotic deathbed confession revolving around Opus Dei, crazed schemes, poetry, and Pinochet, By Night in Chile pours out the self-justifying dark memories of Father Urrutia, a half-hearted Chilean priest.

Review of 'By night in Chile' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

This was my fourth Bolaño book. Maybe I was a bit spoilt because previously I had read his masterpieces, The Savage Detectives and 2666, but I didn't enjoy this one as much. It has the usual gems you find on Bolaño's books, but the story wasn't as engaging as those book's, or as in the short stories of Putas Asesinas.
