Bolano: Bank Heists More Amusing than Writing

In a conversation with Carmen Boullosa for BOMB Magazine, Roberto Bolano, the Chilean novelist and poet who posthumously won the National Book Critics Circle Award for 2666, hurls his patently sardonic wit at all kinds of seedy occupations that are "more amusing" than writing.

If you haven't yet read Bolano, nthWORD highly recommends his masterpiece, By Night in Chile, Distant Star, The Skating Rink and just about any piece of paper this man's pen touched.
