Roberto Bolaño is generally regarded as the first classic of 21 st -century world literature. His work pursues a radical intertextual poetics. This book studies the aesthetic and political dimensions of that work and of the numerous references to Latin American, Spanish, French, German, and English-language literature, thereby opening up a new perspective on the complexity of Bolaño's writing.
