“Legendary . . . Bolaño has proven [that literature] can do anything.” —Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review
“A supernova of creativity whose light is still arriving at our shores.” —Giles Harvey, The New Yorker
Often called the “big bang” of Roberto Bolaño’s universe, Antwerp is his first novel—or the shattered remnants of one. Written when he was just twenty-seven years old, it was so intensely strange and solitary that he tucked it away for more than twenty years, certain that any publisher would slam the door in his face. It proceeds in hallucinatory sketches: a lonely highway, a desolate campground, a freshly abandoned hotel room; a tryst, an interrogation, a murder; and somewhere just out of reach, a young, feverish writer named Roberto Bolaño drifting in and out of view. A radical, sui generis effort by a burgeoning genius, Antwerp is an essential part of Bolaño’s oeuvre.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
Commentaires
“Writing is always an expansion: a writer, given only one life, is compelled to manufacture other lives, other stories, other realms . . . It’s hard to think of a writer who has multiplied the possibilities more times than Roberto Bolaño . . . [Antwerp is] exceptional and moving.”
—Nicole Krauss, The Guardian
“Dreamlike . . . A disturbing, disjointed crime story . . . Poetic and beautiful.”
—Christopher Swetala, GQ
“The phantom of a thriller.”
—Michael Kerrigan, The Times Literary Supplement
“Incredibly haunting . . . A trance of pure atmosphere . . . Antwerp stands alone.”
—Rob Doyle, The Irish Times
