Understanding Roberto Bolaño
by Ricardo Gutiérrez-Mouat
Description
Understanding Roberto Bolaño offers a comprehensive analysis of this critically acclaimed Chilean poet and novelist whose work brought global attention to Latin American literature.
Gutiérrez-Mouat chronologically contextualizes literary interpretations of Bolaño’s work in terms of his life, cultural background, and political ideals. Gutiérrez-Mouat explains Bolaño’s work to an English-speaking audience—including his relatively neglected poetry—and conveys a sense of where Bolaño fits in the Latin American tradition. Since his death, eleven of his novels, four short story collections, and three poetry collections have been translated into English.
