Synopsis

‘Readers who have snacked on a writer such as Haruki Murakami will feast on Roberto Bolaño’ Sunday Times

César Vallejo, renowned Peruvian poet, lies dying in hospital – he’s hiccupping himself to death. When the doctors struggle to offer a diagnosis, his wife pins her hopes on the mesmerist and reclusive bachelor Pierre Pain. But after the appearance of two mysterious Spaniards, Monsieur Pain finds his access to the hospital barred and things soon go awry . . .

Set in the rainy, crepuscular streets of an unsettled 1938 Paris, Monsieur Pain merges the best of Borges with Edgar Allan Poe, and its dark blend of unrequited desire, guilt, grief and betrayal makes this a gripping noir conspiracy as rich as it is strange.

‘Bolaño writes with such elegance, verve and style and is immensely readable’ Guardian

‘His fiction was hallucinatory, haunting and experimental’ Times Literary Supplement

Review

`The Chilean writer's Gothic novella is a Kafkaesque mystery in which events surrounding a dying Peruvian poet spiral out of control in 1938 Paris.' --The Times

`First published in Spain in 1999, this open homage to Edgar Allen Poe by the singular Chilean literary maverick, who died at 50 in 2003, is a brilliant comic salvo . . . Bolaño's major novels are iconic, crazy and wonderful, but don't miss out on his short fiction - this little romp is essential reading.'
--Irish Times

'By ordinary thriller standards it deliberately frustrates as it offers no answers to its riddles, but as a surreal, atmospheric tale of amorphous fear and intrigue, it's electrifying.' --Sunday Telegraph

Book Description

A story of hopeless love, desperate grief and the power of guilt: Monsieur Pain is a hallucinatory masterwork by the great Roberto Bolaño.
