Roberto Bolano was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He spent much of his adult life in Mexico and Spain, where he died at the age of fifty. His novel, The Savage Detectives was chosen as one of the ten best books of 2007 by the Washington Post and the New York Times Book Review. His posthumous masterpiece, 2666, won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
The best and weirdest kind of literary game . . . This artful alternate history of modern literature, stitched together from loose ends, half-told stories and deft episodes of pastiche, is a strangely profound place to get lost. * Financial Times * The triumphant posthumous entrance of Roberto Bolano into the English-language literary firmament has been one of the sensations of the decade. * Sunday Times * One of the most exhilarating, intense and dangerous voices to emerge from South America . . . [Nazi Literature in the Americas] is a parade of delusional, mediocre, vicious and pitiable poetasters, a scabrous parlour game that reveals much about literature, power and complicity. Very funny indeed. * Scotland on Sunday *
