"A mesmerizing tale: sleek, linear, easily digested, beautifully translated...classic Bolaño." –The Washington Post
"A beguiling introduction to Bolaño...The Third Reich is giddily funny, but it is also prickly and bizarre enough to count among Bolaño's first-rate efforts." –
The Economist "A perfect novel...Compassionate, disturbing, and deeply felt, it's as much of a gift as anything the late author has given us." –
NPR "Think Kafka at a beach resort...For those who like their literature to make them look with fear and suspicion at even the most mundane events,
The Third Reich is calling." –
The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Bolaño is a master of atmosphere...in the tradition of Georges Simenon's gloomy romans durs...or the tightly controlled hallucinations of Alain Robbe-Grillet." –
The Wall Street Journal "A brilliant first novel...all the more remarkable for its prescience." –
The New Republic
