Monsieur PainMonsieur Pain by Roberto Bolaño
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

a novella of grace and sadness, elegance in overcoats as war approaches. France pinned in, with fascism on both its borders. the danger of relishing rich cultural legacy is that we won't be ready for the brownshirts, those who can't yet comprehend their own anger, who might stoke and profit from it. oddly enough, we're called to be emissaries from the better world.

no one paints the wryness, the otherworldliness of true nobility better than Bolaño
