Overview
Bolaño en primera persona: una oportunidad única de «escuchar» la voz y las opiniones de un autor que es un auténtico mito literario contemporáneo.
Este volumen reúne una selección de las entrevistas concedidas por Roberto Bolaño desde sus primeros años en México, cuando vivía la literatura como rebeldía y ruptura contra el sistema desde el infrarrealismo, hasta las concedidas días antes de su muerte.
A través de estos textos asistimos a algo que fuera de la literatura ya no es posible: podemos escucharle hablar de poesía, de sus lecturas, de su obra, de sus colegas, de su vida… Observamos cómo un poeta se transforma en un novelista, y a cómo un escritor que malvive en sus inicios de lo que escribe empieza a transformarse en lo que hoy es: un mito literario internacional.
Bolaño se muestra aquí a ratos ácido, crítico, pero en otras ocasiones es divertido, tierno, muy humano. Y siempre genial.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Bolaño in the first person: a unique opportunity to "hear" the voice and opinions of an author who is a true contemporary literary legend.
This volume brings together a selection of interviews given by Roberto Bolaño from his early years in Mexico, when he experienced literature as rebellion and a break with the system through infrarealism, to those given days before his death.
Through these texts, we witness something that is no longer possible outside of literature: we can hear him talk about poetry, his readings, his work, his colleagues, his life... We observe how a poet transforms into a novelist, and how a writer who ekes out a meager living from his writing in his early days begins to transform into what he is today: an international literary legend.
Bolaño is at times scathing and critical, but at other times he is funny, tender, and very human. And always brilliant.
