Nocturno de Chile (Spanish Edition)

Difícil de soltar! Trevor Una narración recordativa del modernismo, pero con tonos posmodernos. Tenía dudas de qué tanto me iba a gustar, y la verdad que quedé felizmente sorprendido.. A perfect gift for your Spanish teacher!! 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. "naturally that you are tempted to believe it is easy. It is not" according to Amazon Customer. Absorbing narrative that flows so smoothly and naturally that you are tempted to believe it is easy.It is not.He can make it look easy of course because he is the most talented Spanish language writer in many years

From Publishers Weekly Born in 1953 and a resident of Spain since 1977, Chilean author Bolano didn't publish his first work of fiction until he was 43, but he's certainly made up for lost time. "Now I'm dying," Sebasti n declares in the book's first line, "but I still have a lot to say There are some things that must be cleared up." Thus begins a hallucinatory rant in which Sebasti n recounts his adventures as part of Santiago's literary scene and attempts to justify his flirtations with the darker side of Chilean politics. Strongly recommended for both libraries and bookstores. In the last five years he's published seven books, the last of which, Llamadas telefonicas (Telephone Calls, Anagrama, 1997), solidified his reputation as one of Latin America's premier postmodernist writers.

 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.. Una imprescindible y escalofriante novela donde el talento del autor de 2666 y Los detectives salvajes brilla en todo su esplendor
