We are pleased to be publishing The Third Reich from Roberto Bolaño in 2011. More information about it will be posted here soon.
Roberto Bolaño was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He grew up in Chile and Mexico City, where he was a founder of the infrarealist poetry movement. His first full-length novel, The Savage Detectives, received the Herralde Prize and the Romulo Gallegos Prize when it appeared in 1998. Bolaño died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty. Natasha Wimmer’s translation of The Savage Detectives was chosen as one of the ten best books of 2007 by The Washington Post and The New York Times.
Praise For Roberto Bolaño
“Roberto emerged as a writer at a time when Latin America no longer believed in utopias, when paradise had become hell, and that sense of monstrousness and waking nightmares and constant flight from something horrid permeates all his work. He was one of a kind, a writer who went all out, with no brakes, and in doing so created a new way to be a great Latin American writer.” —Argentine novelist Rodrigo Fresán, as quoted in The New York Times |
