Between Parentheses: Essays, Articles and Speeches, 1998-2003

By Roberto Bolaño

Book Overview

Between Parentheses collects Roberto Bola o'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 Bola o admired (or vehemently despised), and advice on how to write a short story. Between Parentheses fully lives up to Bola o's own demands: "I ask for creativity from literary criticism, creativity on all levels."
