2666: A Novel
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $19.80
Customer Review:
Bolaño has managed to destroy the novel as people have done in the past. Critics have compared him to Joyce, Kafka,and Cortazar but he is an entirely different beast. Bolaño manages to conquer and dissipate the novel viscerally, through silence, allegory, dreams, and horror, rather... more info

By Night in Chile
from New Directions Publishing Corporation
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
The New Your Times Book Review has said nice things about Bolano's two newest novels, but I decided to step back and start with an earlier novella, By Night in Chile. I was disappointed. The narrative rambles among various conversations about literature and cultural history with nothing much at... more info

Last Evenings on Earth
from New Directions
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Sensini, the literary mentor in this collection's first story, warns Arturo Belano (the novelist's anti-mainstream alter-go) that "The little world of letters is terrible as well as ridiculous."

Putas Asesinas
from Anagrama
Customer Review:
This collection of 13 stories by Roberto Bolano is misleadingly titled and I presume because of its offensive title most would think this is a pornographic book. The book's cover doesn't help much either.
You will be surprised then, when the book turns out to be a delightful collection of... more info
