1.  The cover done by Gray318 is (not surprisingly) beautiful.

2.  After reading the prologue, I kept asking myself “is Crispin Salvador was a real person or not?”.  (He’s not)

3.  Syjuco loves writing about intellectuals the same way Bolaño did. I guess that means this is Bolañoesque.

4. I’m 35 pages into this and loving it.
