Summary
Roberto Bolaño: A Distant Star
Born in Chile, he lived in Mexico City from 1968 to 1977, where he found inspiration for his great novels Wild Detectives and 2666, and then moved to Barcelona, where he wrote them. A great chronicler of our time, Bolaño is today the most influential and exciting South American writer. Reading Bolan is like listening to the story of a secret. Among his series of shorter novels, A Distant Star was a great success, another story about the evils of the Pinochet regime in Chile, but written in a completely different way, and which is somewhat of a prelude to 2666, a posthumously published novel.
