William Burns
Short story about a man from Ventura, California who looks after two women who are convinced they are being stalked by a killer.
Roberto Bolaño's fiction opens in a dreary time: rough patch at work, two women (one getting on, one barely a girl), their dogs (big and little, owners unknown), and a house in the mountains where some guy called "the killer" was out to harm them. The windows produced a dizzying, exhilarating, maddening effect.
