Bolanoâs radical first novel makes its paperback debut as a New Directions Pearl.
Written when he was only twenty-seven, Antwerp can be viewed as the Big Bang of Roberto Bolanoâs fictional universe. This novel presents the genesis of Bolanoâs enterprise in prose; all the elements are here, highly compressed, at the moment when his talent explodes. From this springboardâwhich Bolano chose to publish in 2002, twenty years after heâd written it (âand even that I canât be certain ofâ)âas if testing out a high dive, he would plunge into the unexplored depths of the modern novel.
Voices speak from a dream, from a nightmare, from passersby, from an omniscient narrator, from âRoberto Bolano.â Antwerpâs fractured narration in fifty-four sections moves in multiple directions and cuts to the bone.
About: Antwerpâs signature elementsâcrimes and campgrounds, drifters and poetry, sex and love, corrupt cops and misfitsâmark this, his first novel, as pure Bolano.
