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

Roberto Bolaño left us too soon. He was one of the best contemporary Latin American writers. Hell, scratch that: he was one of the best contemporary writers, period. Read The Savage Detectives or his magnum opus, 2666, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Bolaño started writing poetry, and that love and care for the written word is something you can see (even in translation). But his stories can be straightforward and cruel; his poetry, witty to the point of savagery. The essays, articles and speeches reunited in this book aren't the best point of entry to his literature - they are, however, a good, interesting conversation with the author. Each one of these texts is full of vitality and wit, something we don't see every day. It's a book to be read constantly, to be consulted as a dictionary - the wit and wisdom of Roberto Bolaño.
