Between Parentheses collects Roberto Bolano's nonfiction: fiercely opinionated articles, speeches, essays, and talks, as well as most of the newspaper columns he wrote during the last five years of his life, when fame had come to him at last. Here we have a tender account of his return to Chile, reflections on family life, impassioned takes on books by writers Bolano admired (or vehemently despised), and advice on how to write a short story. Between Parentheses fully lives up to Bolano's own demands: "I ask for creativity from literary criticism, creativity on all levels."

Review:

`Bola�o makes for a cantankerous companion at times ("I enjoy vegetarian food the way I enjoy a kick in the stomach") but one can only admire his typically dark humour in the face of terminal illness. In his final interview, published in Playboy on the day he died, he states: "Sooner or later, the great Lady makes her entrance. The trouble is sometimes she's a heap whore.'
--The Sunday Telegraph
