I think I'll order it, but it'll be a while before I get to it. So
don't wait for my review.
I've got Bolano's _The Savage Detectives_ and _2666_ on the way, as
well as Carlos Fuente's _Aura_. I've got to stop ordering books, and
start reading them.
As for the old-style "beat," I think it will just take a couple
chapters before it just starts to flow in the head (but I never read
Kerouac).

If you read it and like it, though, let us all know. He's a bright, interesting guy, and plays a mean fiddle.
