A phenomenally unusual three-way murder mystery. Having a murder at its heart, Roberto Bolano's The Skating Rink is, among other activities, a crime book. Murder appears to have exerted a fascination for the endlessly proficient Bolano, who in his last interview, corresponding to The Observer, "declared, in every obvious seriousness, that what he would most like to get been was a homicide detective." Set in the seaside town of Z, north of Barcelona, The Skating Rink is informed in a nutshell, suspenseful chapters by three male narrators, and revolves around a beautiful figure skating champ, Nuria Mart. A ruined mansion, knife-wielding women, politics corruption, sex, and jealousy all appear in this atmospheric chronicle of an individual summer months in a seaside town, with its vacationers, businessmen, immigrants, bureaucrats, public individuals, and drifters.
