Praise for Barcelona Dreaming: These numinous stories, where reality is just the launchpad for flights of extravagant, erotically charged fancy, recall much of Bolano's early work...Barcelona Dreaming is a wonderful book, a phantasmal hymn to a city and a lost way of life. -New York Times Book Review The sense of place is brilliantly evoked...and the stories build, cleverly linked together, into a beguiling love letter to the great city. -Conde Nast Traveller
