评语：In his last interview, Bolaño also names Voltaire’s Philosophical Dictionary as one of a handful of books that marked his life. (One of the best characters in 2666, the Black Panther Barry Seaman, relates how Voltaire gave him solace during his long impri

评语：“he once claimed that everything Faulkner and Hemingway wanted to write can be summed up in a page of Huckleberry Finn."
