Roberto Bolano was born in Santiago, Chile in 1953 and died in Catalonia in 2003. He was widely regarded as the essential Latin American writer of our age. He was best known for his novels (including The Savage Detectives, which won a number of prestigious literary awards, Nocturno de Chile, translated as By Night in Chile, and 2666, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award) and his short stories, first published in English in Last Evenings on Earth.
'Dark, intimate and sneakily touching . . . there is gold to be found in this collection' * New York Review of Books * Each tale turns the reader into a voyeur, grasping at snapshots of troubled lives and ghosts. * Observer * The sense of embattlement that animates the writing, and the scab-picking intensity that he brings to his obsessions, makes The Return a compelling encapsulation of Bolaño's work . . . you won't be bored. * Los Angeles Times *
