Media Reviews
The most influential and admired novelist of his generation in the Spanish-speaking world
Bolaño's language, alert and always graceful, his way of constructing narratives that are simultaneously disconcerting, brilliant and infinitely immediate, is a form of resisting evil, adversity and mediocrity * Le Monde *
‘Roberto Bolaño's oeuvre is among the great, blistering literary achievements of the twentieth century.’ -- Lauren Groff
‘Roberto Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia . . . and his writing was always unparalleled.’ -- Mariana Enríquez
‘Roberto Bolaño's fiction was hallucinatory, haunting and experimental.’ * Times Literary Supplement *
