But this anthology also shows how Roberto Bola's participation in world literature is informed in his experiences, identity, and, more generally, cultural location as a Chilean, Latin American and, more generally, Hispanic writer and man. This book provides a corrective to readings of his novels as exclusively \"postmodern\" or as unproblematically representative of Chilean or Latin American reality. \u003ci\u003eRoberto Bola as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e thus helps readers to better understand such complex works as his monumental global five-part masterpiece \u003ci\u003e2666\u003c\/i\u003e, his Chilean novels (\u003ci\u003eDistant Star\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBy Night in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e), and his Mexican narratives (\u003ci\u003eAmulet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/i\u003e), among other works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Birns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501343696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501343698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Nicholas Birns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124250767615,"sku":"9781501343698","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_592adf6d-6f89-4d00-bc8b-e52c3baf8273.jpg?v=1687435642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roberto-bolao-as-world-literature-nicholas-birns-9781501343698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
