Print this article The itinerant, Chilean-born writer Roberto Bolano, who died in 2003, has become one of the most internationally recognized and influential of Latin American novelists despite the fact that much of his work wasn’t even published while he was alive. In contrast to other celebrated South American literary exports such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Bolano wasn’t much interested in magical realism. (He accused the Chilean novelist Isabel Allende, one of magical realism’s most commercially successful practitioners, of writing anemic “kitsch.”) That is not to say that Bolano’s writing was conventional or realist in any typical sense. His style is deliberately fragmented, often to frustratingly elusive effect. His body of work returns often to the same characters, themes, and incidents, which are described from different and sometimes contradictory angles and from the perspectives of a legion of interlocutors. As with Jorge Luis Borges, one of his infl ....
Roberto Bolaño Recenters His Mythic World Credit.David Plunkert By Garth Risk Hallberg Translated by Natasha Wimmer Emily Dickinson asked her sister, Vinnie, to burn her papers after she died. For Kafka, it was his friend Max Brod. Philip Larkin assigned the job to a professional, the distinguished editor and poet Anthony Thwaite. But no formal code of ethics covers the work of literary executors, whose general inclination â when in doubt, publish â often leaves us the richer. True, it may not enlarge our sense of Larkinâs poems to read him banging on about his ânon-acting bowelsâ (see: âLetters Home: 1937-1977â), but do we really want to live in a world where Dickinsonâs fascicles or Kafkaâs âCastleâ get consigned to the flames? ....
The following is excerpted from Roberto Bolaño s Cowboy Graves: Three Novellas , translated by Natasha Wimmer. Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and later lived in Mexico, Paris, and Spain. A poet and novelist, he has been acclaimed as “the real thing and the rarest” by Susan Sontag. Among his many prizes are the prestigious Herralde de Novela Award and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos. He is widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation. My name is Arturo and the first time I saw an airport was in 1968. It was November or December, maybe the end of October. I was fifteen then and I didn’t know whether I was Chilean or Mexican and I didn’t care much either way. We were going to Mexico to live with my father. ....
Cowboy Graves by Roberto Bolaño review – more mysteries and enigmas Rob Doyle The executors of the Roberto Bolaño archive have us right where they want us. Like pushers who know we’re hooked enough to keep buying product of diminishing quality, every couple of years they staple together something new from the notebooks, loose papers and computer files Bolaño left behind when he died in 2003 and tack it to the end of his oeuvre. It mightn’t be long before we’re presented with Bolaño: The Complete Shopping Lists or Gauchos at the Forgotten Library: Selected Email Drafts. Not that this scraping of the seemingly bottomless barrel is unwelcome. Like virtually everything the incomparable Chilean wrote, a newly excavated trio of unarguably minor novellas, ....
