Roberto Bolano (Author)
Roberto Bolano was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He grew up in
Chile and Mexico City, where he was a founder of the Infrarealism
poetry movement. Described by the New York Times as 'the most
significant Latin American literary voice of his generation', he
was the author of over twenty works, including The Savage
Detectives, which received the Herralde Prize and the R mulo
Gallegos Prize when it appeared in 1998, and 2666, which
posthumously won the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award for
Fiction. Bolano died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty, just as
his writing found global recognition.
