The collected short stories of Roberto Bolao

Wide-ranging, suggestive, and ever-daring, Roberto Bolao’s short stories map out the dark terrain that he would go on to explore in his novellas and epic novels. From melancholic portraits of exile and its folklore to a rogue’s gallery of desperate characters futilely attempting to unearth the animating secrets of the world, each of Bolao’s short fictions adds yet another door, a window, a secret passage onto the sinister, eerie universe that Bolao brought to life across his body of work.
