Narrated by a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered romantic poet, and a duplicitous civil servant, The Skating Rink is a darkly atmospheric tale of murder and its motives. TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS'A work of intense and unrealized longing' The New York Times'Bolaño makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world' Guardian
