Last Evenings On Earth

The most influential and admired novelist of his generation in the Spanish-speaking world

Susan Sontag

Bolaño's language, alert and always graceful, his way of constructing narratives that are simultaneously disconcerting, brilliant and infinitely immediate, is a form of resisting evil, adversity and mediocrity

Le Monde

‘Roberto Bolaño's oeuvre is among the great, blistering literary achievements of the twentieth century.’

Lauren Groff

‘Roberto Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia . . . and his writing was always unparalleled.’

Mariana Enríquez

‘Roberto Bolaño's fiction was hallucinatory, haunting and experimental.’

Times Literary Supplement

Roberto Bolaño mastered the alchemy of turning the trivial into the sublime, the everyday into adventure. Bolaño is among the best at this diabolical skill

Georgi Gospodinov

For stunning wit, brutal honesty, loving humanity and a heart that bleeds into the simplest of words, no other writer ever came close

Marlon James

It’s no exaggeration to call Bolaño a genius.
