{"product_id":"by-night-in-chile-roberto-bolano-9781538433232","title":"By Night in Chile","description":"A deathbed confession revolving around Opus Dei and Pinochet, By Night in Chile pours out the self-justifying dark memories of the Jesuit priest Father Urrutia.As through a crack in the wall, By Night in Chile's single night-long rant provides a terrifying, clandestine view of the strange bedfellows of church and state in Chile. This wild, eerily compact novel-Roberto Bolano's first work available in English-recounts the tale of a poor boy who wanted to be a poet but ends up a half-hearted Jesuit priest and conservative literary critic, a sort of lapdog to the rich and powerful cultural elite, in whose villas he encounters Pablo Neruda and Ernst Junger. Father Urrutia is offered a tour of Europe by agents of Opus Dei to study \"the disintegration of the churches\"-a journey into realms of the surreal-and, ensnared by this plum, he is next assigned, after the destruction of Allende, the secret never-to-be-disclosed job of teaching Pinochet, at night, all about Marxism, so the junta generals can know their enemy. Soon, searingly, his memories go from bad to worse.Heart-stopping and hypnotic, By Night in Chile marked the American debut of an astonishing writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roberto Bolano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538433230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538433232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Audiobooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.70h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Roberto Bolano","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44076271993087,"sku":"9781538433232","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34554a27-4523-4aa6-99dd-cb5d910b7cda.jpg?v=1685464083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/by-night-in-chile-roberto-bolano-9781538433232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
