But this anthology also shows how Roberto Bolaño'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 Bolaño 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 1501316060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501316067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2017","brand":"Nicholas Birns","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425297842431,"sku":"9781501316067","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef5978d1-dc20-4d93-ac32-c8a2893c61cc.jpg?v=1761538275","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roberto-bolazo-as-world-literature-nicholas-birns-9781501316067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
