By Night in Chile by Roberto BolañoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
As far I can tell, the surface of this story of a jerky priest who has literary interest and regrets his complicity with the Pinochet regime at the end of his life. Overall, it seems a condemnation of intellectuals who just go along with repressive regimes even if they are opposed to them. This also appears to be written in a way in which only an intellectual could stomach reading so... maybe Bolaño didn't want to openly critique intellectualism, perhaps because it is not the problem on its own.
