Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border, is an urban sprawl that draws in lost souls. An emblem of corruption, violence and decadence, from which, over the course of a decade, hundreds of women have mysteriously, often brutally, disappeared. Told in five parts, 2666 is the epic novel that defines one of Latin America's greatest writers and his unique vision of the modern world. Conceived on an astonishing scale, and - in the last years of Robert...

Whether they concern a stalwart rodent detective trying to investigate the mysterious deaths of his fellow rats, an elderly judge giving up his job in the city for an improbable return to the family farm in the pampas, or a confrontation between an elusive film-maker and the little-known Argentinian novelist whos...

Der Jahrhundertautor Roberto Bolaño entwirft in diesem unvergleichlichen Roman ein Schreckenskabinett der Welt und der Literatur.

Antwerp was Roberto Bolaño's first novel, though he chose not to publish it until 2002, more than twenty years after he'd written it.

Poetry is braver than anyone, Roberto Bolan o believed, and the proof is here in Tres, his most inventive and bracing poetry collection.

The late literary sensation reveals his most intimate thoughts.

From this springboard-which Bolano chose to publish in 2002, twenty years after he'd written it ("and even that I can't be certain of")-as if testing out a high dive, he would plu...
