Tres by Roberto Bolano
Roberto Bolan o s Tres is a showcase of the author s willingness to freely cross genres, with poems in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. As the title implies, the collection is composed of three sections. Prose from Autumn in Gerona, a cinematic series of prose poems, slowly reveals a subtle and emotional tale of unrequited love by presenting each scene, shattering it, and piecing it all back together, over and over again. The second part, The Neochileans, is a sort of On the Road in verse, which narrates the travels of a young Chilean band on tour in the far reaches of their country. Finally, the collection ends with a series of short poems that take us on A Stroll Through Literature and remind us of Bolan o s masterful ability to walk the line between the comically serious and the seriously comical.Roberto Bolao (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and resided in Mexico, France, and Spain later in his life. He has been praised as the most interesting writer to emerge from south of the Rio Grande in a long time (Los Angeles Times) and as the real deal and the rarest (Susan Sontag). The famous Premio Herralde de Novela and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos are among his many awards. He is usually regarded as the generation's greatest Latin American writer. The Romantic Dogs, 2666, The Spirit of Science Fiction, By Night in Chile, Distant Star, Last Evenings on Earth, and The Savage Detectives are among his works.
