There were several other references to oblique and round raindrops later on, too. I wonder if the passage is significant or Bolano just liked it.
Yeah, rain seems to be one of several motifs wending their way through the first part. I read that Bolaño began as a poet and turned to writing novels as a way to make better money, which is common enough. I wonder though, if this use of symbols springs from that background and was not fully realized, incorporated and finished, due to his death.
