I love bolano as a writer. This was translated by Chris Andrews.
thanks for sharing this
I’ve got one question to any other reader/looker about this : Let’s say, for the sake of convenience, that she’s called Carla Devade. She could well be the youngest member of the group. Her hair is short,
I see Carla’s hair as long and wrapped in a bun

Carla Devade is second last, the hair looks short to me. I can see a bun if I try bit theres not enough mass there to be a big bun. Probably shoulder length if it’s a bun.
Basically I don’t think its a deliberate choice to misstate a fact to cause doubt on the narrators voice.
Sorry I took so long to reply, coment got lost.
