I have\u00a0an extra brand-new, hardbound, New Directions edition of Roberto Bola\u00f1o’s Monsieur Pain<\/em>, and I’d like to give it away blog style.<\/p>\n

That is, if you want to be in the drawing to win, please just say so in a comment below. Will ship worldwide<\/em>. I will conduct a drawing that considers all comments made before Monday, March 1,\u00a0noon (according to the time recorded with your comment — so that’s 11:59 a.m. comment time and 10:59 a.m. EST).<\/p>\n

Now, I might not conduct the drawing at <\/em>11:59 a.m.\u00a0comment time, but when I have a winner I will email\u00a0him or her\u00a0and announce it in a comment below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I reviewed Monsieur Pain<\/em><\/a>, I said, “For those of you who have been\u00a0interested\u00a0in but wary of Roberto Bola\u00f1o, you might find a\u00a0friendly meeting place (more friendly than, say, 2666<\/em>, which was my meeting place) in\u00a0Monsieur Pain<\/em>.”\u00a0For those of you who have read and enjoyed Bola\u00f1o, you don’t need me to tell you to enter this drawing.<\/p>\n

For those of you who have never left comments before, I have to approve your first<\/em> comment on my blog — my way of stopping the spam that slips through.\u00a0After I’ve approved you once, any later comments\u00a0do not need to be moderated.\u00a0Getting this little moderation-step out of the way is a good thing, because I’d like to ask the winner to return here and leave his or her thoughts on the book (or a link to his or her thoughts, if written elsewhere).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
