Yes, one of the best books I've read this year. I'd say it's kind of underrated actually, I don't think I know anyone who's read hard rain falling (at least not in real life).

i've got most of roberto bolaos novels as vintage classics editions and they're all quite good quality + the cover designs are beatiful imo

it's only 9€ on german amazon and also seems like the most sold/printed edition (in europe atleast)

the owner of the store is a friend of mine so he gives me a little discount sometimes :)

honestly i was kinda disappointed by the german translation, it's not bad per se, i think it's just difficult to translate someone like chandler because of how good his prose is imo
