Hardback. Zustand: Good. He is by far the most exciting writer to come from South of the Rio Grande in a long time. Ilan Stavans, Los Angeles Times.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From a master of contemporary fiction, a tale of bohemian youth on the make in Mexico City Two young poets, Jan and Remo, find themselves adrift in Mexico City. Obsessed with poetry, and, above all, with science fiction, they are eager to forge a life in the literary world--or sacrifice themselves to it. Roberto Bolaño's The Spirit of Science Fiction is a story of youth hungry for revolution, notoriety, and sexual adventure, as they work to construct a reality out of the fragments of their dreams. But as close as these friends are, the city tugs them in opposite directions. Jan withdraws from the world, shutting himself in their shared rooftop apartment where he feverishly composes fan letters to the stars of science fiction and dreams of cosmonauts and Nazis. Meanwhile, Remo runs headfirst into the future, spending his days and nights with a circle of wild young writers, seeking pleasure in the city's labyrinthine streets, rundown cafés, and murky bathhouses. This kaleidoscopic work of strange and tender beauty is a fitting introduction for readers uninitiated into the thrills of Roberto Bolaño's fiction, and an indispensable addition to an ecstatic and transgressive body of work.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "One of the most respected and influential writers of [his] generation." --John Banville, The Nation "A genius . . . Bolaño had the courage to look at the world anew." --Ilan Stavans, The Washington Post Composed of thirteen indelible stories, Roberto Bolaño's The Return is preoccupied with ghosts: troubled souls haunting society's margins, lovers lost to the ages, young men who no longer recognize themselves in the mirror, fresh corpses afforded no peace, departed poets who visit us in dreams. These tales capture the extremes of human experience--sex, violence, death--and the mundane acts that linger in between, with Bolaño's inimitable mordant humor and trenchant insight into what drives us. A master of the short form, Bolaño is as interested in the act of storytelling as he is in the stories themselves: how they nestle within one another; how they shift, spread, and scatter; and how they return to us again and again.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Legendary . . . Bolaño has proven [that literature] can do anything." --Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review "A supernova of creativity whose light is still arriving at our shores." --Giles Harvey, The New Yorker Often called the "big bang" of Roberto Bolaño's universe, Antwerp is his first novel--or the shattered remnants of one. Written when he was just twenty-seven years old, it was so intensely strange and solitary that he tucked it away for more than twenty years, certain that any publisher would slam the door in his face. It proceeds in hallucinatory sketches: a lonely highway, a desolate campground, a freshly abandoned hotel room; a tryst, an interrogation, a murder; and somewhere just out of reach, a young, feverish writer named Roberto Bolaño drifting in and out of view. A radical, sui generis effort by a burgeoning genius, Antwerp is an essential part of Bolaño's oeuvre.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Reading Roberto Bolaño is like . . . watching the tracks of art and life merge at the horizon and linger there like a dream from which we awake inspired to look more attentively at the world." --Francine Prose, The New York Times "We savor all he has written, as every offering is a portal into the elaborate terrain of his genius." --Patti Smith An aging judge retires from Buenos Aires to the family ranch in the Pampas to battle feral rabbits and reclaim the dignity of the gaucho life. An obscure Argentinian writer journeys to Paris to face down the filmmaker who has made a career out of plagiarizing his novels. An intrepid detective investigates a series of grisly murders--among his fellow sewer rats. Riffing on Borges and Kafka, yet utterly and inimitably Roberto Bolaño, these stories testify to his mastery of the short form. Rounding out the collection are two of his most provocative and piercing essays, "Literature + Illness = Illness" and "The Myths of Cthulhu," each crackling with his signature black humor and incomparable powers of perception and critique. The Insufferable Gaucho is an essential part of the Bolaño oeuvre.…
