Roberto Bolano as World Literature provides an introduction to the
Chilean novelist that highlights his connections with classic and
contemporary masters of world literature and his investigation of
topics of international interest, such as the rise of rightwing and
neofascist movements during the last decades of the 20th century.
But this anthology also shows how Roberto Bolano's participation in
world literature is informed in his experiences, identity, and,
more generally, cultural location as a Chilean, Latin American and,
more generally, Hispanic writer and man. This book provides a
corrective to readings of his novels as exclusively "postmodern" or
as unproblematically representative of Chilean or Latin American
reality. Roberto Bolano as World Literature thus helps readers to
better understand such complex works as his monumental global
five-part masterpiece 2666, his Chilean novels (Distant Star, By
Night in Chile), and his Mexican narratives (Amulet, The Savage
Detectives), among other works.
