Purchase options and add-ons

Una imprescindible y escalofriante novela donde el talento del autor de 2666 y Los detectives salvajes brilla en todo su esplendor.  Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix, sacerdote y crítico literario, miembro del Opus Dei y poeta mediocre, convencido de que está a punto de morir, revisa en una sola noche de fiebre alta los momentos y personajes más importantes de su vida.  Pero a medida que la noche avanza su fiebre va remitiendo y el delirio se atenúa con la aparición de los monstruos de su pasado. Así van desfilando por el libro una serie de personajes pintados con el surrealismo típico de Bolaño: los ambiguos Oido y Odeim; un pintor guatemalteco que se deja morir de inanición en el París de 1943; Farewell, el pope de la crítica literaria chilena; María Canales, una mujer misteriosa en cuya casona de las afueras se reúne lo más granado de la literatura; y el general Pinochet, a quien Urrutia Lacroix dio clases de marxismo.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Un maravilloso torrente de emoción, una meditación histórica brillante, una fantasía cautivadora. Nocturno de Chile es uno de esos raros y auténticos prodigios: una novela contemporánea destinada a ocupar para siempre un lugar en la literatura universal”. —Susan Sontag

“La posguerra chilena y la literatura imbuyen esta inteligente y ricamente evocadora novela. La narrativa febril de Bolaño y sus ocasionales toque surrealistas nos recuerdan a los clásicos latinoamericanos del Realismo Mágico”. —
The New York Times

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author of 2666 and many other acclaimed works, Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and later lived in Mexico, Paris, and Spain. He has been acclaimed "by far the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time" (Ilan Stavans, The Los Angeles Times)," and as "the real thing and the rarest" (Susan Sontag). Among his many prizes are the extremely prestigious Herralde de Novela Award and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos. He was widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation. He wrote nine novels, two story collections, and five books of poetry, before dying in July 2003 at the age of 50. Chris Andrews has won the TLS Valle Inclán Prize and the PEN Translation Prize for his Bolaño translations.

Esperaba Los detectives salvajes, ☹️no había leído este libro, será leerlo mientras me llega el otro. Les contaré qué tal está.

Fue tan bueno esté libro de Roberto Bolaño, que animo a comprar otro libro de Roberto Bolaño llamado “2666”. Bolaño simplemente lo involucra a uno, en su libro, y sale ansioso queriendo ver que sucede en cada página que se va presentando.

My brother loves this book and has been looking for the Anagrama editorial version of it for a long time now. He was VERY pleasantly surprised when I got it for him! Perfectly new, not a blemish in sight, carefully packaged. I would buy again from this seller.
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021
The novel, historical to some degree, consists of three parts. The second one, in my opinion, is optional reading if one wants to follow the narrative thread. The third part is the continuation of the first one. I found the middle part too long and disruptive even though it explains, out of sequence, events not included in the first and third parts.

I bought this book for my Spanish teacher as a going away present and it was just what he wanted. Along with being an excellent friend and teacher this book was perfect for him since he loves Spanish literature and anything related to Don Quixote in general. Los Detectives Salvajes is a lot like my teacher since its characters represent some individual from Spanish literature and the main characters are modern day Quixotians. If you know anybody interested in Spanish literature or Don Quixote, this is the book for them.

El libro, a la vez que describe la vida de jovenes poetas en el DF durante los años 70 y subsiguientes,nos mantiene hechizados en cuanto a la desaparicion de dos de ellos y tambien con la busqueda de la misteriosa poetisa Cesarea Tinajeros. El autor nos permite seguir la trama mediante los recuerdos de las diferentes personas que se cruzan en el camino de los jovenes poetas utilizando un lenguage fluido y claro.Un libro excelente muy dificil de poner a un lado luego que lo empezamos.

Novela soberbia, excelente! Bolaño no disilusiona al lector. La edición es muy barata, el papel es pésimo, la portada muy delicada, el libro no aguanta una segunda lectura.

This may well be a great book but I found it super difficult with it going on and on page after page with no action or dialogue only thoughts - the style was creative but just not for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Der beste Detektivroman, den ich je gelesen habe
Reviewed in Germany on May 30, 2019
Bolano spielt mit dem Krimi-Genre, wie kein anderer. Ich denke, er das Buch "Die wilden Detektive" genannt, um es besser verkaufen zu können. Es gibt zwar eine Suche, eine Art des Whodunnit, das hat aber nur im übertragenen Sinne etwas mit einem Krimi zu tun. Meinetwegen. Eingefleischte Krimi-Leser werden enttäuscht sein, denn es handelt sich eigentlich mehr um einen literarhistorischen Abriss. Es werden zahlreiche Aurorennamen genannt und mit Begriffen aus Kunst und Literatur gespielt. Darüberhinaus ist es ein erzähltheoretisches Experiment im Stile eines Cortazar. Das hat es zwar in der (lateinamerikanischen) Literatur bereits gegeben, ist aber trotzdem sehr lesenswert.

Llevaba tiempo intentando reengancharme a la lectura. Bastantes intentos sin éxito. Este libro lo ha conseguido. Esta lleno de testosterona y poesía, sexo y cariño. Creo que a Buñuel le habría gustado también.
