Fictional retelling of the life of Roberto Bolanoesque writer from the pov of his friend, wife and himself beyond the grave. Reconciling idealism of youth with the ultimate path your life takes and the struggle with finding a sense of contentment and happiness in the life you end up living vs the one you could have lived. Quick read (~150 pg) in the style of Bolano: oral history from different povs that come together to form a larger narrative
