Chris Andrews, a leading translator of Bola?o's work into English, explores the singular achievements of the author's oeuvre, engaging with its distinct style and key thematic concerns, incorporating his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction.Andrews provides new readings and interpretations of Bola?o's novels, including" 2666," "The Savage Detectives," and "By Night in Chile," while at the same time examining the ideas and narrative strategies that unify his work. He begins with a consideration of the reception of Bola?o's fiction in English translation, examining the reasons behind its popularity. Subsequent chapters explore aspects of Bola?o's fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. Bola?o emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective "fiction-making system," a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness. Written in a clear and engaging style, Roberto Bolano's Fiction offers an invaluable understanding of one of the most important authors of the last thirty years.
