A treasure trove of strange, arresting, short masterworks from the genius that is Roberto Bolaño
Roberto Bolaño was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He grew up in Chile and Mexico City. He is the author of The Savage Detectives, which received the Herralde Prize and the Rómulo Gallegos Prize, and 2666, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. He died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty.

a clear-eyed, if mischievous perspective
