Antwerp - Roberto Bola�o

• 3 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

Antwerp's signature elements--crimes and campgrounds, drifters and poetry, sex and love, corrupt cops and misfits--mark this, his first novel, as pure Bolao.

A elegantly produced, small collectible stamped cover-on-cloth edition.

Written when he was only twenty-seven, Antwerp can be viewed as the Big Bang of Roberto Bolano's fictional universe.

This novel presents the genesis of Bolano's enterprise in prose; all the elements are here, highly compressed, at the moment when his talent explodes.

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 plunge into the unexplored depths of the modern novel.

Voices speak from a dream, from a nightmare, from passersby, from an omniscient narrator, from Roberto Bolano.

Antwerp 's fractured narration in fifty-four sections moves in multiple directions and cuts to the bone.
