Review
One of the most exhilarating, intense and dangerous voices to emerge from South America . . . [Nazi Literature in the Americas] is a parade of delusional, mediocre, vicious and pitiable poetasters, a scabrous parlour game that reveals much about literature, power and complicity. Very funny indeed. Source: Scotland on Sunday
The triumphant posthumous entrance of Roberto Bolaño into the English-language literary firmament has been one of the sensations of the decade. Source: Sunday Times
The best and weirdest kind of literary game . . . This artful alternate history of modern literature, stitched together from loose ends, half-told stories and deft episodes of pastiche, is a strangely profound place to get lost. Source: Financial Times
