Begone!

In my language we call it the Germano-Roman Realm, funnily enough.

I enjoyed it, couldn't put it down once it got going and had to sit and think when it was done. Does a great job toeing the line between the real and surreal with the sick hotel owner sneaking around behind the scenes and coaching the burn victim in the game (even though he says he didn't, we see him doing it).
I think it's a simple story at its core, it's about the failure of his relationship with Ingeborg and the failure of his seduction of Else. Not so much about the game, or the other relationships which are just satellites.
I guess I'll read 2666 by Bolano next. Nothing else sounds interesting to me. Maybe The Skating Rink because it's the same setting as this?

Distant Star is my favorite, as well as his short story 'The Return'. 2666 is also pretty good.
