Roberto Bolaño
Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (
Life
For most of his youth, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in
A crucial episode in his life, mentioned in different forms in several of his works, occurred in 1973, when he left
Works
Although a hard-working, devoted writer all his life, Bolaño only began publishing regularly in the late 1990s. He immediately became a widely respected figure in Spanish and Latin American letters. In a rapid succession, he published a widely acclaimed series of works, the most important of which are the novel "Los detectives salvajes" ("The Savage Detectives"), the novella "Nocturno de Chile" ("By Night in Chile"), and, posthumously, the novel "2666". His two collections of short stories "Llamadas telefónicas" and "Putas asesinas" were awarded literary prizes.
"The Savage Detectives" has been compared by
The novel "2666" was published in 2004. At 1100 pages, the novel is divided in five "parts," four and a half of which were finished before Bolaño's death. Focused on the unsolved and still ongoing serial murders of Ciudad Juárez (Santa Teresa in the novel), the apocalyptic "2666" depicts the horror of the 20th century through a wide cast of characters, including the secretive, Pynchon-like German writer Archimboldi.
