Fyra litteraturvetare på jakt efter den undflyende, mystiskt försvunne författaren Benno von Archimboldi; en mentalt instabil filosofilärare som hör röster och försöker skydda sin dotter från världens ondska; en sportjournalist som istället för att bevaka boxning ställs öga mot öga med döden – vägarna har fört dem alla till Santa Teresa, en ökenstad vid gränsen mellan Mexiko och USA. En stad märkt av korruption, knarkhandel, svältlönejobb och prostitution – och en brottsvåg där hundratals kvinnor våldtagits, lemlästats och mördats utan att de skyldiga gripits.

2666 är en svindlande resa in i den moderna civilisationens mörkaste hjärta. Med denna postumt utgivna roman, som blivit en sensation världen över, har Roberto Bolaño kommit att räknas som en av vår tids viktigaste författare.

”Bolaño har skrivit in sig bland de odödliga” – Washington Post

”en gränslös, helt enkelt vidunderlig roman” – Daniel Kehlmann, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

”Ingen tvekan om saken, 2666 är ett verk av enorm betydelse … en sammansatt litterär upplevelse där författaren söker teckna ned sina mardrömmar medan han känner tiden löpa ut.” – El Mundo

”hans tonfall pendlar mellan humor och totalt mörker, mellan sagans enkelhet och polisrapportens falska saklighet” – Le Magazine Littéraire

Isrinken

Skickas

Vid sidan av de stora verken 2666 och De vilda detektiverna skrev Roberto Bolaño också kortromaner. Isrinken (1993) och Avlägsen stjärna (1996) kretsar båda kring gåtfulla centralgestalter; den åtrådda isprinsessan Nuria Martí, samt den poetiske Carlos Wieder, flygkonstnären som också är en blodtörstig kuppmakare. Dessa tidiga och koncentrerade verk breddar bilden av mästaren Bolaño, men knyter också an till hans återkommande frågor rörande exilen, våldet, litteraturen.

A vast literary reckoning with disappearance, obsession and the violence threaded through modern history.Set in Santa Teresa on the Mexico US border, this literary crime novel about missing women unfolds across intersecting lives: European academics in pursuit of a reclusive writer, a journalist drawn into the city’s unrest, and a community haunted by a growing list of unsolved murders.What begins as an intellectual quest gradually reveals a deeper and more disturbing pattern. The killings of girls and women recur with numbing regularity, their investigation fragmented and inconclusive. Around them, careers advance, rivalries flare and history presses forward. The search for meaning becomes inseparable from the search for the dead.Shifting between continents and decades, the novel resists easy answers. Its scope is immense, yet its power lies in accumulation: detail by detail, case by case, it exposes the quiet machinery that allows brutality to persist.

Father Sebastian Urrutia Lacroix is dying.A priest, a member of Opus Dei, a literary critic and a poet, in his feverish delirium the crucial events of his past swell around him.From glimpses of the great poet Pablo Neruda, the German writer Ernst Junger and his one-time student, General Pinochet, to nightmarish flashes of falcons and falconers, the Chilean landscape and faces of those now dead, reality and imagination crowd and clamber in pursuit of the ‘wizened youth’ who still haunts Father Lacroix all these years later.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS‘The wit, the horror, the ambition, the strangeness; Roberto Bolaño’s work is a sprawling labyrinth of surprise, bold invention, and images that will live with you forever’ Chris Power‘Few are the writers who have mastered the alchemy of turning the trivial into the sublime, the everyday into adventure. Bolaño is among the best at this diabolical skill’ Georgi Gospodinov, author of Time Shelter

Mass-murdering authors. Writers at the head of a football-hooligan ring. A pilot who crafts his poetry in the sky.A tour de force of black humour and imaginary erudition, Nazi Literature in the Americas presents itself as a biographical dictionary of pan-American writers who espoused extreme right-wing ideologies in the 20th and 21st centuries.Terrifyingly witty and remarkably inventive, this is the virtuosic, one-of-a-kind masterpiece which brought Bolaño fame throughout the Spanish-speaking world.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS'The best and weirdest kind of literary game... A strangely profound place to get lost’ Financial Times‘A darkly comic celebration of the wilder horizons of writing, good, plodding, lunatic and terrible’ London Review of Books

Den odräglige gauchon

ROBERTO BOLANO föddes 1953 i Chile och dog 50 år gammal på ett sjukhus i Barcelona i väntan på en levertransplantation. Han var redan då en av den spanskspråkiga världens mest ryktbara författare, men det stora internationella genombrottet kom först efter hans död. DEN ODRÄGLIGE GAUCHON var det sista manus Bolaño färdigställde och lämnade in till sin förläggare, bara några veckor före sin död. Bolanos rappa berättarstil är omisskännlig, liksom hans förmåga att skriva fram och väcka medkänsla för sina udda figurer -- om det så är advokaten i titelnovellen som genom en händelse blir en förvildad gaucho på Pampas, eller råttan Pepe Tira i den kafkaartade detektivnovellen »Råttpolisen«. Samlingen består av fem noveller och två essäer och är översatt av Yvonne Blank.»En sämre författare hade gjort roman av det som här utspelas på kring 20 sidor.«Claes Wahlin i Aftonbladet, om Noveller 1: Telefonsamtal

War-games champion Udo Berger is finally on holiday.Travelling to the Costa Brava with his long-ignored girlfriend, Ingeborg, there they meet another vacationing German couple, Charly and Hanna, and a band of shady locals. They have fun, see the sights, relax. Then, late one night, Charly disappears without a trace.Desperate to solve the mystery, Udo refuses to leave, even after Ingeborg returns home. Increasingly frightened, the situation slips beyond his grasp and Udo suddenly realizes that the consequences of this ‘game’ are much more serious than he ever imagined.TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER‘Capering, weird, rascally and short... The Third Reich is giddily funny, but it is also prickly and bizarre enough to count among Bolaño’s first-rate efforts’ The Economist‘A mesmerizing tale: sleek, linear, easily digested, beautifully translated… Classic Bolaño’ Washington Post

Insufferable Gaucho

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar

As Pankaj Mishra remarked in The Nation, one of the remarkable qualities of Bolaño’s short stories is that they can do the “work of a novel.” The Insufferable Gaucho contains tales bent on returning to haunt you. Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled yet somehow haywire, a Bolaño story might concern an elusive plagiarist or an elderly lawyer giving up city life for an improbable return to the family estate, now gone to wrack and ruin. Bolaño’s stories have been applauded as “bleakly luminous and perfectly calibrated” (Publishers Weekly) and “complex and provocative” (International Herald Tribune), and as Francine Prose said in The New York Times Book Review, “something extraordinarily beautiful and (at least to me) entirely new.” Two fascinating essays are also included.

As Bolaño’s friend and literary executor, Ignacio Echevarría, once suggested, Antwerp can be viewed as the Big Bang of Roberto Bolaño’s fictional universe. Reading this novel, the reader is present at the birth of Bolaño’s enterprise in prose: all the elements are here, highly compressed, at the moment when his talent explodes. From this springboard—which Bolaño 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 plunge into the unexplored depths of the modern novel.Antwerp’s fractured narration in 54 sections—voices from a dream, from a nightmare, from passers by, from an omniscient narrator, from “Roberto Bolaño” all speak—moves in multiple directions and cuts to the bone.

Amulet is a monologue, like Bolaño's acclaimed debut in English, By Night in Chile. The speaker is Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan woman who moved to Mexico in the 1960s, becoming the "Mother of Mexican Poetry," hanging out with the young poets in the cafés and bars of the University. She's tall, thin, and blonde, and her favorite young poet in the 1970s is none other than Arturo Belano (Bolaño's fictional stand-in throughout his books).As well as her young poets, Auxilio recalls three remarkable women: the melancholic young philosopher Elena, the exiled Catalan painter Remedios Varo, and Lilian Serpas, a poet who once slept with Che Guevara. And in the course of her imaginary visit to the house of Remedios Varo, Auxilio sees an uncanny landscape, a kind of chasm. This chasm reappears in a vision at the end of the book: an army of children is marching toward it, singing as they go. The children are the idealistic young Latin Americans who came to maturity in the '70s, and the last words of the novel are: "And that song is our amulet."

Tillfälligt slut

Between Parentheses collects Roberto Bolaño’s nonfiction: fiercely opinionated articles, speeches, essays, and talks, as well as most of the newspaper columns he wrote during the last five years of his life, when fame had come to him at last. Here we have a tender account of his return to Chile, reflections on family life, impassioned takes on books by writers Bolaño admired (or vehemently despised), and advice on how to write a short story. Between Parentheses fully lives up to Bolaño’s own demands: “I ask for creativity from literary criticism, creativity on all levels.”
