Roberto Bolaño

Organizada en trece capítulos, a su vez divididos en varias secciones, La literatura nazi en América traza zigzagueante un recorrido por las voces, las plumas y las vidas de autores como Edelmira Thompson de Mendiluce, Luiz Fontaine Da Souza, Pedro González Carrera y Segundo José Heredia.

A la intemperie compila todas las columnas, los artículos y las reseñas publicadas por Roberto Bolaño en medios españoles e hispanoamericanos desde la década de los setenta y hasta su muerte en 2003.

Escritor incansable, Roberto Bolaño se desenvuelve con igual maestría en las novelas de largo aliento que le han dado fama universal y en los relatos y novelas cortas.

Nueva edición revisada de Putas asesinas, el último libro de cuentos publicado en vida de Bolaño. Escritos con el estilo inconfundible que caracteriza al autor chileno, en estos 13 relatos se mezcla desolación y humor, lirismo y autobiografía, ruptura con la tradición y homenaje a los maestros.

Descrita por el propio autor como «una obra policíaca, aunque no lo parezca», Amberes fue redactada veintidós años antes de su primera publicación en 2002, y descubre al Roberto Bolaño más experimental y complejo.

El primer libro de relatos de Roberto Bolaño, galardonado con el Premio Ámbito Literario de Narrativa y el Premio Municipal de Santiago de Chile, ahora en una nueva edición revisada.
