Book Description

Narrativas Hispanicas May 2003
Roberto Bolano ha reunido en este libro cinco cuentos y dos conferencias. En Jim relata el encuentro con el americano mas triste del mundo; con El gaucho insufrible seguimos a Pereda, un ejemplar abogado argentino que se reconvirtio en gaucho de las pampas; en El policia de las ratas, Pepe el Tira, detective, nos informa sobre la politica siniestra de las alcantarillas; El viaje de Alvaro Rousselot nos desvela el inusual hado de un escritor argentino de los anos cincuenta, inesperadamente filmado o plagiado por un cineasta frances. Dos cuentos catolicos da cuenta del azaroso encuentro entre un adolescente y un asesino en serie, poseidos ambos por la religion. De las dos conferencias, Literatura + enfermedad = enfermedad nos sobrecoge con su humor y su inteligencia, y en Los mitos de Cthulhu ruedan unas cuantas cabezas de la escena literaria actual. Roberto Bolano el conquistador es un gran, incurable mitologo: alguien para quien todo lo que sucedio (lo mejor y lo peor, las vanguardias y el fascismo, Ezra Pound y el Estadio Nacional de Santiago luego del golpe del 73) sucede, sigue sucediendo ahora en el ecosistema delirante del mito, y todo lo que sucedera, sucedera por efecto del mito, o de la maquina del mito, la literatura. (Alan Pauls, Pagina/12).

More About the Author

Author of 2666 and many other acclaimed works, Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and later lived in Mexico, Paris, and Spain. He has been acclaimed "by far the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time" (Ilan Stavans, The Los Angeles Times)," and as "the real thing and the rarest" (Susan Sontag). Among his many prizes are the extremely prestigious Herralde de Novela Award and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos. He was widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation. He wrote nine novels, two story collections, and five books of poetry, before dying in July 2003 at the age of 50. Chris Andrews has won the TLS Valle Inclán Prize and the PEN Translation Prize for his Bolaño translations.
