Postmodernism of Resistance in Roberto Bolaño's Fiction and Poetry
examines the ways in which Bolaño employs a type of literary
aesthetics that subverts traits traditionally associated with
postmodernism. Pasten B. coins these aesthetics "postmodernism of
resistance" and argues that this resistance stands in direct
opposition to critical discourses that construe the presence of
hopeless characters and marginal settings in Bolaño's works as
signs of the writer's disillusionment with the political as a
consequence of the defeat of the Left in Latin America. Rather, he
contends, Bolaño creates a fictional world comprised of characters
and situations that paradoxically refuse to accept defeat - even
while displaying the scars of terrible historical events. In this
work Pasten B. challenges some critical assumptions about Bolaño's
fiction and poetry that led to decontextualized interpretations of
his work and offers a singularly comprehensive investigation that
synthesizes multiple perspectives of a complicated author into one
text.
