Biographical note
Roberto Bolaño was born in Santiago, Chile in 1953 and died in Catalonia in 2003. He was widely regarded as the essential Latin American writer of our age. He was best known for his novels (including The Savage Detectives, which won a number of prestigious literary awards, Nocturno de Chile, translated as By Night in Chile, and 2666, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award) and his short stories, first published in English in Last Evenings on Earth.One of the best books of the year–<i>A Little Lumpen Novelita </i>feels as substantial as a book three times as long. This is a glittering gem, as maddening and haunting as you'd expect from Bolano.
Publishers Weekly, (starred review)
Electrifying.

As for Bolano, what can one say? One of our greatest writers, a straight colossus.
