“It’s interesting: the game relaxes him. I see it in the muscles of his arms and chest, as if at last he’s able to look at himself and not see anything. Or as if he sees only the tortured Europe of the game board and the grand maneuvers and countermaneuvers.”

—Roberto Bolaño, from “The Third Reich: Part 2”
